***My 1944 GPW/1945 MB (Sympathetic) Restoration!***

[Mike P]

Hello all! Great forum here. I’ve already learned a lot by poking around and having my newb questions answered in my intro thread so thanks for that!

I’m not much of a wordsmith so I’ll try to keep that to a minimum…

After years of lusting after an “army Jeep” (since I was a child actually) I finally decided it was time to make a dream come true. I have many varied interests from woodworking to hot rods, vintage dirtbikes, vintage pickups etc. so I’m no stranger to the fun of major projects! This one will be no exception but hey it keeps me out of the bars!


A few months ago I made a deal on this pile of parts. My buddy agreed to help me go grab it from Nebraska (we are in Kansas.) He is versed in Jeeps and has a ‘45(?) GPW so he has been a big help in the push to finally get my own.

(To be continued)
