“Looking to sell my 1942 Ford GPW project jeep. Attached are photos of it together whole, and in parts (its current state). I’ve invested a lot of time and money into this project, and unfortunately my new job doesn’t allow me much time to work on my project. Looking to get out of the project while I still can and to make back some of the money I invested into it. Here’s the list of everything I have:
-primed GPW frame with the axles still attached, it is sitting on MB leaf springs, and I have extra leaf springs in the garage. Ive got the drive shafts too

The Ghost Army Documentary from 2013

I had some kind of intestinal issue yesterday, so I spent most of the time in bed. Looking for something interesting to watch on TV, I ran across a documentary called The Ghost Army, which talks about the top-secret unit charged with creating distractions, illusions, and more. I’d heard of the story, but never saw the video.

I watched the film via Amazon Prime; I can’t find it anywhere online, but I did find this short introduction to the Ghost Army video:

Here are some images showing how the group tried to make a jeep into a tank, but that turned out to be a failure. Instead, they turned to blow-up rubber tanks.
