Paul’s Flattie is Finished

• CATEGORIES: Builds, CJ-2A, CJ-3A, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

In 2009 I hauled up a flatfender body from a seller in Boise (where I was living) to Paul in La Conner, Wa. Since that time, he’s been busy rebuilding it. It sure looks good!

Paul writes, “What you see is a conglomeration of what you brought up here several years ago and a couple of “farm/orchard” jeep’s from Wenatchee plus new parts from major suppliers. it looks good, runs good and is “cute”. I have a roll bar I am going to re-configure (single hoop with stiffeners) that I will install for safety reasons and ad 3 point safety belts, no rear seat so no rear belts. It has 15 inch wheels and radial street tires on it now but a friend of mine found five really nice 16 inch wheels at the Monroe swap meet a couple of weeks ago so sometime soon we will add those with new era correct tires to the “look”

Here are the parts I loaded onto the back of a truck in 2009:

I happened upon this unusual CJ-3B from the Weekly Times in Australia. The paper requests folks send in their ‘paddock bombs’. You can read about this CJ-3B from Bona Vista in Gippsland.

Mike found this nice 47 CJ in Mobile, Al. at a little car show. He writes, “naturally it was the only Jeep. It is in good shape, it’s not for sale and he said he paid about 5k for it and has had to do nothing to it.”

1963/4 Western Auto Jeep Kit

• CATEGORIES: Features, Models, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The owner of this unusual jeep kit from Western Auto would like more information. Anyone ever seen or remember one of these? I spent some time trolling through “western auto” ads from past years on eBay, but didn’t have any luck

Here is a collection of scanned Western Auto ads on Flickr, but no jeep like the one below.
