Happy 17th Birthday Chris
Over the past year and a half Chris (from Mossy Rock, Wa) and I have been trading emails every-so-often as he works his way through his flat fender project. He recently figured out how to work with some bondo; he also tried his hand at using Herculiner. You can see the results below. It’s a bit of a trial and error process for him, but he’s making good progress.
January 1st is his birthday, so have a great birthday Chris and keep the pics coming!
The Jerry Can Tool Box
Maggie mentioned to me that she was searching for a Jerry Can Tool Box someone built and displayed on line. With a little searching we tracked it down to Jeepforum.com. I’ve included two pics of it below. You can see all the pics here.
1958 CJ-5 Chico, Ca eBay
Hog forwarded this auction. Bidding just ended on this CJ-5 previously owned by Bing Crosby, reaching a high of $5850. I suspect it will be back on eBay at some point.
“Barn stored since 1973. Perfect running condition. Originally used on Rising River Ranch by the Crosby Cattle Co. Owned by Bing Crosby from new until 1973. All original, but seats and turn signal assembly. As you can see in the pictures the cosmetics are not perfect, but are easily fixed. This thing could climb a wall! She’s ready to go and up to date on all paperwork. Pink slip in hand.”

1941 Slat Grille MB Las Vegas, Nv **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** was on eBay
Here’s a slattie project.
“You are bidding on a great restoration project. I am thinning out my collection because I have a few other rare vehicles that I’m in the process of restoring so some toys must go. This one up for auction is a 1941 Willys slat grill. It does have rust in the usual places such as front floors, fuel tank and driver side panel area. The jeep has been media blasted from top to bottom but surface rust is starting due to the fact that it was not primered. I was hoping to start restoration sooner but other projects have forced me to push it aside which is why I am selling. The frame is very solid and has also been blasted. I do have a front bumper and a rear crossmember that will go with the jeep. As can be seen in the pictures, the tail panel has been messed with and will need to be fixed. The jeep comes with a complete MB motor but it is not original to the car as the vin is very high. I do have one front seat that will go with the jeep and a back seat. The jeep does have the original low windshield with the early brass windshield clamps which are hard to find. The jeep also comes with some hard to find parts such as the solid wheels and the original pancake air cleaner. ”

Colin provided a couple updates. He’s got a new top for his Surrey and his son, Lee, got their CJ-2A project running for the first time.
Colin writes, “I had a new top put on the Surrey. Here are a couple of photos of it. I also attached a couple of photos of our project 1952 CJ3A that is nearing completion.

YEAR:
I wasn’t certain of the year when I registered it with MVD. They guy I bought it from only had a Canadian title with no information. I guessed it was a 1945. I did a little more research and after talking to a few guys from g503.com, we determined it to be a 1943. Instead of dealing with MVD again, I just left it as is.”
