It was a good day! Worked until it got WAY to hot in the sun.... The tools were starting to burn my handsConfused



Lights look good Smile









Carb looks like a good core, Carter WA-1:





Horn looks good, not sure if it is original? No bracket Cry





Radiator support bracket looks ok except for the treads at the end. I think the could be re-threaded?





Hood to tub brackets, one is missing the threaded block?





Parts: Nice Autolite Distributer





Wheels - Front are 16 x 6



Rears are 15 x 6.7 ConfusedConfused



Check out this hole in the cylinder!! I wonder if this is what took it off the road?



Windshield latches



Parts:


- Don't Let The Fatherless Ones Grind You Down -
- I like them stock, survivor's with original paint are my favorites -

If that hole in the cylinder wall isn't what took it off the road, I'd hate to see what was Tongue

I saw this post too late, but if you ever needed a buddy to pull another project out of the woods, I'm always up for an adventure.

No problem Wink I'm not an expert... There are some markings but I did not want to wire brush them.

Sorry, but thanks for the pictures. Good luck!

I'm interested in the diz, for my 46 if your selling it, not an immediate need. How much? Do I get the fellow jeep and Harley rider discount? Thanks Joe...….By the way I think those lights where the same used on a 1947 Indian.

You sure do Wink there was no dust shield though.... My Dad wanted it but I guess they were tossed/lost back in the day? Shoot me a PM!
