It will definitely end up with Green paint with a Star.  My brother is a veteran and always marches in the parades.  I thought he may want a ride. 

The body is in rough shape all dented, and pitted.  I am trying to remove the white paint now.  I really don't want to bury it in bondo.  I have no experience with body work anyway.  So stop the rust, repair the holes, paint it green, and get it drivable, but don't make any permanent changes to screw it up.  As I heard someone else say "a 10' restoration" ;)  I do have some friends that are in Jeep clubs, so definitely want to wheel in it too.  I have no experience with old cars or jeeps, I'm entering a new world.  It is 12v volts, converted a long time ago.  I will keep it 12v till I gather all the 24v parts.

Thanks for that picture tutorial, Rus -- I didn't know about #3!

Chris, are you planning a military restoration?

That picture is after I got the engine running last year and got it somewhat together.   Since that picture I disassembled the jeep and have been working on the body and frame.

Welcome PoconoChris!

Sounds like a fun project!

There are three ways that I know of to post an image. 

There are buttons above the window where you type.  The top row is mostly to modify the letters, i.e. Bold, Underline, etc.  The second row has the buttons for inserting items including pictures.

The first two buttons on the second row are for using another place that has your images.

1st is "Upload" and it opens MyWillysPics.com.  You'll need to make an account.  I haven't used this much yet. 

The 2nd button is "Insert Image" for posting an image, from Flickr,  MyWillysPics or some other platform that allows you to store pictures.  Copy the images URL and add it in between the image commands you'll see after pushing the 2nd button.

The 3rd way is just below the window you're typing there is a "+ Attachments and other options" click that and you can load images, documents etc. directly from your computer to the bottom of your post.   When you preview, you won't be able to see those attachments.  You'll have to post and then see them.

I suggest checking your image size to ensure it will display easily.   Most of my images need to be reduced where it will display easily on a screen.

Practice it until you find a way you like.

I have started a M38 project last year.  I read it is really close to a CJ3A.  This is my first jeep ever, I hope to learn from you guys.  I am still working so I work on the jeep when I have time.

Thanks for your help!

(not sure how to post a pic here yet)
