I’m taking Sunday evening off. Besides, a new episode of Downton Abbey is on tonight. Yes, I’m hooked and I blame Ann and her mother for this!
Peter’s Wagon Build
Peter from Germany is making progress on his wagon build. His buddy Thorsten is helping him out with engineering ideas and welding help. You may remember Peter’s quest to locate a 3-wing hood ornament and a door handle, which he found thanks to readers. He notes that he wanted to have it build completely from jeep parts, but deciding to throw in some heated seats from a Mercedes Vito. Personally, that sounds like a good idea to me! Peter says he’ll send some pictures of the build when finished.
1952 M-38A1 Ogden, Ut **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
Looks pretty good.
“Runs Great! Recently rebuilt motor. Less than 200 hrs on the rebuild. Very Clean Body. F-134 Hurricane
Here is a wonderful military jeep that seems to jump right off the set of M.A.S.H. or any other of your Korean War era shows. I have been out of the country for 2 years but before left I had this jeep registered and would drive it to work to break in the rebuild. On my return the the U.S. I wanted to see how the old jeep was doing. Within 30 sec of tinkering she was roaring to life almost crying to hit the hills.
Sadly I am not going to school now and am in need of some money. Well hey, my loss is your gain. You can call text of send an email. If I do not answer right away I might be in class but I will return your call as soon as possible.”
