Always a delight to hear from you Jay. I enjoy your comments. Yes...on that getting things right. Many times, I stop and ask myself why I tolerate something that isn't right. There are usually "good" reasons, but man it feels better to be a guy who ditches the excuse and just gets her done! My ongoing shop cleanup.......is going to happen! As for those fording systems...extremely cool...but a mess that I really don't generally want to subject my vehicle to.....I had a friend who took a beautifully refurbed deuce/5ton though a flood and as "fishing" fishes out of the cab along with about 50lbs of sediment. Cheers and thanks for supporting!
They really do. I have a clipboard in my shop now....its the only way for me - keep adding, checking off. As for the frame repairs, we have several videos of this process Ben. I am working hard on getting this content organized better and searchable - will have links for you this week.Thanks for being here!
No sir - actually a Clark product....I have no idea why it was painted grey. We have original factory photos - B&W of course - that show the engine/drivetrain what looks to be grey plus surviving examples. I have seen both a light grey (like a GPW) and something that is much darker and bluer.....We are going to end up like the GPW nuts!😍
The less parts installed in the hull the better. You can install an engine with the radiator installed, but you have to be really careful and you must remove the cross shaft and the oil filter on the engine. If the steering/transmission controls are installed...you have to wiggle the engine in. The joys of the Weasel!
Ben - thank you for the kind and supportive words! It is a crazy world - cheaper stuff, but the quality is often not there. Case in point, just purchased a repro oil pressure gauge...the faceplate is not parallel to the glass....looks awful! I struggle with "fixing everything"...but sometimes, it is time well spent because the new part simply won't last. Thanks for being here!
