It is getting to be Weasel season Nick! I had the M29 out last week.....am definitely looking forward to rebuilding the T24 engine and really getting after it. Cheers!

Thank you James! Welcome!

Sounds like a nice, organized approach. I am working hard on my mindset to reprogram the idea that time spent organizing stuff is time well spent....I mostly learn by doing....so tripping over stuff is slowly but surely convincing me!

Replied on Murph's Grill

Another shop philosopher! 😀  Do you sing in your shop too?Love this comment.  One explanation from a fellow traveler - "we restore these objects to be closer to the time period"....an interesting idea too.  At the root for me, all deeply satisfying.

Thank you for all of your support Jay - most appreciated! 

Cheers!

I am reluctant to consider how many hours I spent fettling Murph's grill.  In the end though, the grill of a WW2 jeep is the most distinguishable characteristic and will get plenty of close looks.

I am pretty pleased with where it stands.  Of course the primer makes a few dents visible so there may be a little more, but we are getting close here. 

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Hope y'all are all having a great Friday.  I am getting ready for a super busy weekend, finishing the rebuild of a T18 transfer case and hopefully making lots of progress on Murph.

Our technology host increased our monthly costs for storage as we keep growing the library of past episodes.  All worth it in the end.

I did not forget your very generous offer Robert. I really appreciate that. This ended up being a really, really good deal based on our last conversation. I would appreciate the information on the differences. If they are minor enough, I will likely make the changes. I think I read that I could get a correct data plate too? All fun stuff. Again - always appreciate your comments and the support.

Attended the Redball Swap Meet and Show last weekend so did not get too much done in the shop. 

But....I picked up a couple of really cool things for Murph, including a nice original glove box latch that cleaned up to new condition.  I also made a major score..... reveal on Thursday.
