Title: FNG - North Central Florida
Post by: 49tandc on January 14, 2013, 05:08:51 PM: Hey,

I just joined this forum. ï¿½Been lurking a while - reading (learining as much as I can.

Projects:
'42 Willys MB - Had a Chevy 350 - but will get L-134. ï¿½She has earned her wrinkles - enter WW-2 in Italy and went to Germany before being shipped back to U. S. ï¿½Putting it back to wartime configuration. ï¿½It will not be a show poodle, but as nice as I can afford. ï¿½WILL be driven a lot - offroad too. ï¿½Also has her choice - M1919 or M2HB when its done.

'52 M38A1 - Was USMC, I thought I was getting some "Jeep parts" but turned out to be an almost complete M38a1. ï¿½As I was trailering it home, I thought ï¿½Its too nice to part out.

'60 Willys truck - Flathead 6 4WD - pretty nice little truck. ï¿½Has electrical gremlin - need to be exeorcised out of it.

'71 Jeep Renegade-1

Plus a few Mope projects.

Regards,
49T&C

It's good to see a monster truck being converted back to a classic instead of the other way around. I'm all for obscene horsepower overkill in most applications but not in an MB.

And I'll add the usual new member fine print here too:

***Failure to post pics - lots of pics - of your current Willys collection will result in continual harassment from other members**** ;D

Sept. ï¿½I'll get back to things soon. ï¿½

Tell me if this link to FLICKR works or not.

This needs to be remedied soon!! ;)

As mentioned, it's good to see an MB converted back! ï¿½That's a real honor to a terrific little vehicle.

Show us some of your goods!!

A lot of these guys are sitting on piles of old parts that you may need and would be willing to trade for something newer. Welcome and can't wait to see pics of your toys!
