Yeah, it is not glamorous, but when you are done it will look like something off of the front of a FW-190 or a Corsair - it will look like it grew...

Well here is the windshield. I am honestly really impressed with myself. I did not expect it to turn out so well. Just one more bracket and it will...

More of the non-glamorous side of this project... Give me a few days and I will share the results of grinding, welding, cutting, filing,...

Thank you for suggesting the three web sites however they are dedicated to flat fenders. I purchased a 1952 M38A1 jeep last week. I have a civilian...

Okay, I picked up the industrial L134 for $500. It seems to be in really good shape other than the two snapped stud bolts in the exhaust. But those...

Got the v brace fitted up. And tried to do some sand blasting on frame but it was a pity, not enough air to run properly, got some done but really a...

VT I would start by trying to adjust the clutch free play. They don't need much. Just a half inch at the pedal should be a good place to start. If...

Hello Mike! I find G503.com, CJ2A page and CJ3A&B page to be very good sources of information. The thing to remember especially on the early trucks...

Bmorgil is correct. The majority of the reproduction parts are designed to fit several different models, so some trimming is required to fit the...

VT see if this discussion helps your decision. https://willysjeepforum.kaiserwillys.com/showthread.php?2888-Unleadead-fuel-in-your-Classic The...

Thanks for the reply. I'll plan on gettng the fenders straight. I'm sure that there's more than I'm seeing but this will be a body off full...

I would run some ethanol stabilizer in with the E-10 just for assurance. Even on a daily driver, fuel sits in the fuel bowl, and over time it will...

I would make every effort to use the front fenders you have. They won't be that difficult to bend back into shape, just some time and patience. The...

Should not hurt anything on a daily driver. Modern fuel lines and carburetor parts should take it okay. I think 100% gas is critical for anything...

I am in Tipton County. Not far from Jackson. Where are you located? Anyone else from the Memphis area?

That is the way they did it back then - none of these fancy "no tamper" fasteners to hold on VIN plates, just four screws. Where in Tennessee are...

I would stay with the original fenders. They are not that hard to rework - on the '48 we did a fair amount of splicing and piecing to add back the...

Also wanted to report back about the mystery "lever" under dash. Upon further investigation this is an old trailer brake controller.

Yes it looks identical to mine. Four Philips head screws.

It's actually attached to the distributor by one of the screws that also attaches clips to hold distributor cap down. I noticed another tag hanging...

I do have another question, does that data plate look factory installed? It's basically screwed into the firewall and I wasn't sure if that's correct...

The fender I can see doesn't look too bad. I would try to use the originals if you can. Nothing will fit like them on the original body. There are...

I do have a question on the fenders, they're both beaten up, should these be body worked or just replaced? From what I see now, the only other body...

We had luck that day, it was not occupied.

And the sand blasting cabinet keeps all of the mess inside and keeps the shop cleaner; a selling point for the bride!.
