2015 Elkhart WWII Re-enactment
Nicolas filed this report from the 2015 WWII Re-enactment in Elkhart, Indiana.
He writes, I wanted to share with ewillys the event I went to this weekend. It was hosted in Elkhart, Indiana. Everyone was very nice to talk to and quite knowledgeable about every question I had to ask. The Jeeps guys have me convinced I need to join the group!
The Willys MB I’m standing next to has a very unique story, the guy who bought it had to go through an interview before the seller would let it go. The steel soldier landed on the beaches of Normandy, and later the Battle of the Bulge. The driver had it shipped back home where his father would pick it up. It was completely original (aside from the tires and paint) and was loaded with everything it went to war with. In order to be eligeable to purchase it, the owner agreed he would use it in reenactments and continue to tell it’s story.
In the pictures of the MB with the front ammo box, there is indeed an airplane flying above! I even got to ride around the camps in the slat grille.

Tom need some help with his FC bumper and asked me to post this. He hopes to either locate the brackets and spacers he needs or get templates for them.
He writes, “Recently, I was able to buy a Ramsey Winch Bumper for my FC-170. Unfortunately, the bumper did not include the mounting brackets and 1″ spacers. Please let me know if you have any of these parts. Even if you aren’t interested in selling, I would like to get some paper templates so I can recreate them if necessary. Your help is appreciated. Here are some pictures of the parts I need.”

<– Day 35 – Sat. May 16th: The End of Texas | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 37-40 – May 18th-21st: Research –>
Three of the nine jeeps in Sagauche, Colorado. These are sitting at the edge of town. This is downtown!
Today was supposed to be about doing some family research, but I was in for a surprise!
Today I traveled from Alamosa to Pueblo.
I started the morning with a scraper in my right hand and my left plunged into my pocket. After weeks of warm weather, emerging into 32 degree temperatures shocked my being. With my window partially scraped, I could see just enough to drive myself to the local Campus Cafe, which served some good eggs and hash browns (a Yelp find).
My first stop of the trip was to see a very unique motel called Movie Manor. Run by Best Western, the motel plays movies on two drive-in screens. The speakers are hooked into the motel rooms. I priced it at $89, but figured I was too busy to watch the movies, so I found a cheaper place. Still, I wouldn’t mind returning with Ann sometime. They were playing two recently released movies, Avengers and Mad Max. Not bad!
Following movie manor I expected an uneventful drive to Monarch Pass. Instead, as I was driving through the sleepy town of Saguache (not even sure how to pronounce it) that is nearly small enough to have “Welcome to Saguache” on both sides of the same sign, I spotted a flat fender. As I approached more closely, I spotted a second. Then I spotted a couple more. By this time my foot was on the brake and my hand was on a camera. I had find out why these jeeps were sitting in the Gillette’s Trading Post parking lot in a middle-of-a-nowhere town like Saguache.

On May 18th and May 19th I spent time in Pueblo to do some research. The only semi-interesting photo is this one showing under a sign on Eilers street, named for the Eilers Smelter, aka The Colorado Smelting Company.
The next update with be on May 22nd, which marks the day Ann returns to Colorado and we head to Omaha for her son’s graduation.

1948 Wagon Undergoing Restoration in Australia
Leigh found this 2WD 1948 wagon that had been sitting in a shed in Australia since 1994. He plans on restoring while retaining the current look as much as possible. From what he has been told only about 400 Wagons of any description came to Australia so parts are a bit difficult, however he reports Kaiser Willys has been a big help.
