I've been poking around here sine Nov 2017, and some how missed your posts. I have a '46 (76337) that was originally Harvard Red, that after reading this entire thread, is inspiring me! Your job is great reference. Thanks.

Jay, I'm very happy I got to see your jeep in person and talk with you about the restoration!
For everyone who has not seen this jeep in person, I can say that it is just as beautiful as it is in the pictures

Remarkable attention to detail (leather shifter covers, painted footman loops, ect, ect beautiful work). I was just looking at the nut on the passenger fender trying to remember what is was for, I see for the battery hold down, from your pics, thanks. Looks like the same hill as in the first pics ought to do a side by side before - after shot. The original receipt is the best! Joe W

Wow! I'm 6-ft 3-in, with size-12 feet, and barely fit in my 2A. Can't imagine how you can drive your jeep at 6-ft-9. The restoration looks superb, by the way.

Thank you!! We should have tags on our shirts with our screen names on them. I am 6'9" and easy to spot, but hard to fit! Jay McGinnis

Seeing this in person, and knowing the back story, will put a smile on any Willys lovers face.

Thanks for the comments guys! Made it to the Willys picnic this Sunday at Kepton, PA. Lots of rain which really held back attendance but was still a lot of fun. Got to see and talk to a bunch of great people. Didn't get enough time to talk with others at their jeeps though. Hopefully next year or at the Mason Dixon Jeep Gathering in Union Mills, MD.
