Looking back at the early body work pics, the way you fabricated and adapted other parts makes your thread special, really admire your ingenuity! Every mile should be like a pat on the back, job well done. Itchin for another project yet? Joe W

I did a few small project this winter due to a bad hip. I repaired a 1992 portable bandsaw mill that was not in used for over 10 years.Went over the motor and carriage. I also restored a 1970S Sears 5hp 2 stroke outboard motor with the use of 3 outbound motors that friends had found on the side of the road for scrap.    |

This Spring when I was recovering from my hip replacement I made a few stencils for the Jeep.If it doesn’t look good I can always repaint over with no problem.
   O  I also made the stencil for the Canadian 2nd Division as per my friend Clorice E Landry WW2 veteran.     Edited by Gil - 28 June 2018 at 1:46pm |

Getting my Jeep ready for the Atlantic Nationals in Moncton N.B. July 4-8th.It’s the biggest car show in Atlantic Canada.Last year at the end of the show they drew random prizes and I won the Barrett Jackson auction package worth over $3000.This year they also have amazing prizes,66 Chev El Camino solid California car with all the right stuff done to it.That’s 1 of about 10 main prizes.I have over 4000 Miles on my Jeep now and every time I take it out I still smile as to how much fun I’m having with it.

My Jeep is some combination of CJ2A and M38. I use it quite a bit off road, etc. I'm looking to add a spare tire and jerry can to my tailgate, because I don't want the side mount to make the Jeep wider. My tailgate is bolted shut like an m38, but I don't see any reinforcements on the inside. I can see where there were holes for the tire and can holder but they have been welded closed. Im not worried about authenticity. But im assuming I should add reinforcements. What are your thoughts on a couple pieces of angleiron or something? Also, would I be safe drlling out the old holes, or should I move over or up an inch to avoid the old holes? |
