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
