It was a good day! Worked until it got WAY to hot in the sun.... The tools were starting to burn my hands Lights look good Carb looks like a good core, Carter WA-1: Horn looks good, not sure if it is original? No bracket 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 Check out this hole in the cylinder!! I wonder if this is what took it off the road? Windshield latches Parts: |

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

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 I'm not an expert... There are some markings but I did not want to wire brush them. |

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 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!
