That is absolutely stunning.  For my taste, it is as nice a 3A as I have seen.   It is what I hope for my 1951 3A someday, but I would be happy if it looks half as nice as yours.  Congratulations on a great job, and thanks for the photos.

Hey Roberto,
That's a great web site.  I have not seen that before.  That CJ/M38 is a nice looking rig.  I can see the similarities.  Thanks for turning me on to that site.

Chassssssmm, thanks!!  Sometime you'll have to show us how you get creative with your posts.  One other thing, I remember a post where you show us your Bantam restoration, but now I can't find it.  Could you point me in the right direction?  

Tim

Sir, I tip my hat on you!!! What a beauty!!! It�s awesome! Curiously, I have just found this one -quite similar to yours!- at EWillys.com, the excellent website of mr. Dave Eilers:

  http://www.ewillys.com/

What�s your opinion? I was shocked!!! I have been checking the markings and so in order to know if it was the same vehicle...just amazing!!! Well, good ideas ar always replicated.   ;)

Congratulations!!!

Hey Gun!!
The ammo can cup holder was truly 'the' defining moment in my entire build. :o  It's the details, man!!  It's all about the details!

Matt, already looking...  I had a chance at a Bantam for $250.00.  I just don't know what to look for, and got a sudden case of cold feet.   If my wife finds out, I'm am toast.  I take that back...I'm charcoal.

Nice work Tim, you really left no bolt unturned! What's the next project? Bantam trailer, Deuce and a half? There's sooo much old iron just waiting to be saved. ;D

Ah geeezz, where do I start?  Thank you to all for looking, and all the kind words.

I really enjoy the photos that you all post here.  They are both inspiring and informative.  I�m guessing you folks are the same about pictures, so I thought I would post how it turned out.    

I am not a showy guy, and not comfortable with praise, but I am proud of what I was able to do.  In all honesty, I give the 3A site a huge amount of credit for the majority of my success.  I could not have done this without you all.

On our short trip to Golden, we garnered a lot of attention. (Even though the dogs stayed home)  I think you have to be in a social mood while driving an old Willys.  You can�t just role up the windows when a moment of solitude is desired.  To just enjoy a drive with my wife isn�t going to happen.  I bet it�s the same for all MB, MC, 2A and 3A/B owners.  Clearly, this is a vehicle that people just don�t see very often.  And just like me, when I do see one, huge smiles and �thumbs ups� all around.

 I am honored to be part of a community of people that have a passion to save these old Jeeps.  The history important. The story needs be told.

Tom, I actually found the 1949 plates on Ebay.  Original, un-issued Prowers County plates, sold by a plate collector in Boulder. They were still wrapped in their original envelope. Pretty cool.  In Colorado, you have to get a real plate, but can run with a �date of manufacture� plate if the vehicle is old and you supply your own plate.  You do have to apply for permission.

Ryan, at least these Boston�s eventually run out of energy.  When do you sleep?

Calvin, I was laughing out loud when I read your comment.  Funny thing is, the names you have given really fit the dogs� personalities.  I have decided the back seat passenger is Marylin Monroe.  Very pretty, but a bit of a flake.

Bretto,  I�m watching your build. Very impressive.  Hopefully, I�m not embarrassed by mine if I ever pull up next to yours.

Once again, to all, thank you for your kind words.  Now it�s time to go get dusty and dirty on a couple Jeep gatherings.

Tim

Tim,
  Thanks for sharing pics of your drive.  In the photo with occupants it's easy to recognize General Patton in the right front with Sgt. York at the wheel, but who is that in the back seat?
