With a new trailer in the collection I had to see how everything fit this morning. The 3A got the new '47 Bantam to play with and the M38 gets the '42 Willys trailer. I think everyone is happy with the arrangement. Now it's time to go reconfigure the garage and the shed....again.

The plan at this point is to paint the Bantam the same gray as the 3A and give them both red wheels.  I'd like to get a set of tires for the Bantam so they match the 3A as well. I need a bigger sheet of paper for my life's "to do" list. And Randy, a bigger garage was added to that list a long time ago....

And so it's what, about halfway up the list?

Yes it will be very sharp looking..

You need to match the wheels and tires...what if you have a flat on the trailer? You can't put a black wheel in place of a red one... :D

Very nice collection.  You have been struck with the ultimate Willys disease.  Generally, the simptoms include looking for a new property with a large Willys barn/workshop. ;)

Finally got rid of the Bantam's white wall tires and Ford rims, got the coupler and safety chain mess straightened out, and then dragged it around for about 50 miles. The trailer was still there when I got home so looks like a success to me.

I would be glad to help out Ryan, I have garage space I can spare.... Just leave the key so that I can exercise it occasionally.
