Stitch Welding

Someday, I look forward to learning how to weld better; I’d especially like to work with MIG and work on my TIG (I actually have a rudimentary setup, but haven’t done much with it yet).  So, I’d hardly classify myself as a welding expert (though with two pieces of clean metal I can make a pretty nice stick bead).

Until, if ever, I master welding, here are a couple threads that discuss welding sheet metal together for body repair. If you have any other great, helpful threads, let me know and I’ll add them here.

1949 CJ-3A (Lefty?) Richfield, Mn $1200

Brett spotted this potential deal. If this runs, it’s a steal.  This could be a 1947 Lefty CJ-2A that was accidentally titled as a CJ-3A (the CJ-2A page forums mention this happening a few times).  That said, just to confuse us a little more,  it almost looks like a front bow holder sits just above the gas inlet.

Jeep Number 3 is a 1965 CJ-3B, based on the serial numbers from the CJ-3B Page, and not a CJ-3A as listed by the seller.

“Jeep Number 1: CJ5 – Blue, no title, no VIN tag or data plate, no axles, no engine, just a body. Most likely late ’70’s.

Jeep Number 2: CJ2A – Red, no title, no VIN tag or data plate, complete with engine but missing crank. Both axles, complete running gear. Most likely around 1947 due to round recessed turn signals.

Jeep Number 3: CJ3A – Red, no title, VIN: 8105 118510 – complete with engine. Both axles, complete running gear. Most likely around 1949.

Jeep Number 4: CJ2A – Yellow/Green, no title, VIN: 60979 – complete with engine (engine has been removed) Both axles, complete running gear (transfer case in bed). Most likely around 1946.

I will throw in additional axles, driveshafts, motor, and a couple transfer cases…”

I have some t-shirt ideas and thought I’d see what you all thought about them.  I’m trying to create a different kind of willys t-shirt.    The “Africa” shirt would be one of a series of “WWII” vehicles.
