Hello fellow flat fender fans,
Lew Ladwig here. �A few years back I started the Colorado Flat Fender Club ( CFFC ) and hooked up with fellow jeep fans from around the area. �The club has grown to an email list of nearly 140 folks. �We have held some really fun events and I have made many great friends. �In seeing several other clubs from across the country I decided it was time to form the IFFC- the International Flat Fender Club! �I would like to have other clubs join us as Patrols. �Each patrol would be independant and can do their own thing but could post their events and such with the IFFC and maybe we could even have a big annual event where we get a big turnout from all the patrols. �Currently the CFFC has had folks from 8 different states show up with some travelling from way east of the Mississippi! �
In the IFFC we now have about 30 patrols including many US states as well as several countries from as far away as Europe, India and Asia!
This club is a no fee, no dues, no cost deal. �I just want to use the net as a common meeting place and a way for all the patrols to hook up with each other and plan some great events. �BTW, you are all welcome to join the CFFC in the Fall Colors tour! �Last years event was great.
The IFFC is for Flat Fender Jeeps. �You don't need to own one, just need to love these old vehicles. �We try to keep the jeeps on the trail to fairly original rigs so we all have a common capability but a built up rig with some modern features is OK too. �Just needs to be a flat fender. �These include Bantam, MB, GPW, M38, Agrijeep, 2a, 3a, 3b. �Oh and the coast guard version of the 2a. �I think I got them all. �Events could be a show and shine or a trail ride or a parts swap. �You decide!
Maybe we will hold the first International convention of the IFFC some where here in the Rockies. �Would that be cool to have a few hundred old Willys driving over Rollins Pass during the summer!
Here is a picture from last years Fall Colors Tour:
I would love to have you start a patrol in your country or state. �Please check the web site to see if we have a patrol in your area.
