UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.

(03/29/2015) Parts jeep.

“I have a 1946 Willys tub and front end for sale. It’s titled and fairly solid. Needs a passenger floor patched but it’s a great start for a flatrod or crawler build. I was planning on using it for a flatrod but I really have no time for it. A ford solid axle will be included with the tub. Not selling parts, take the whole thing. I have some low back seats I can throw in as well.”

1948-cj2a-project-aurora-co

For sale is this 1948 Willy’s jeep, some assembly required, battery not included, lots of good parts. quick store. this jeep was a daily driver before I hit a tree and had to take it apart and put a frame under it. This was the 11th frame I looked at, this is the best frame I’ve seen, this is a m38 military frame with no cracks, frame has been bead blasted and painted with DP100 a two part epoxy paint, I have two motors, the one that’s in it is a 3.8 liter V-6 GM motor from a 198? Chevy Monza, the other one I have is a 225 fireball V-6 from a 1964 Buick special, connected to a T-90 transmission thru a advance adapter with a rebuilt Warn overdrive.
unfortunately, almost all the parts where bead blasted and read for paint, but where it was stored leaked water, so everything is covered is surface rust and will need blasted again.

Day 25 – Wed. May 6th: Beyond San Antonio’s Riverwalk

<– Day 24 – Tue. May 5th: San Antonio’s Riverwalk | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 26 – Thu. May 7th: Rainbow Flight & Texas Border Towns –>

2015-05-06-wooden-nickel-jeep2

Guinness Book of World Records deems this the largest wooden nickel in the world.

Yesterday we spent time in downtown San Antonio. Today we explored areas outside that central area.

First, we walked a couple blocks to Market Square, a three-block area that has been home to the city’s open market roots since the 1890s. At that time, San Antonio was Texas’ largest city.  The area was a multi-cultural area due to Mexican, European, and Asian immigrants. However, these days the area has primarily a Mexican flavor.

In fact, we walked to the market specifically to taste the flavors of Mi Tierra Cafe Y Panaderia. The restaurant was first opened in 1941. It now seats up to 500 people and, according to their own marketing, “Never closes”. It’s a twenty-four hour a day, every day, restaurant. There’s a party atmosphere inside with christmas lights wound around posts, colorful Mexican banners hanging from the ceiling, and reflective pinatas hanging overhead in the lobby.

The lobby of the Mi Tierra Cafe Y Panaderia. The baked looks looked really good!

I chose to go there, not just because of its history, but because they serve a roasted goat dish, something I don’t get often enough. When it arrived, I was very pleased; plenty of goat, along with a tasty cheese enchilada, made for a good meal. The rice and beans were pretty standard tex mex.

Yum. Goat is good!

After our lunch (we had a late start on Wednesday), we wandered Market Square. We even found a couple gifts for our mothers, though said gifts shall remain unmentioned since my mother peeks in on my trip reports from time to time.

Market Square’s ‘Produce Street’, though hard to find much produce here any more. Just minutes later bus loads of people flooded this area.
