	Working late last night I managed to get that garage bay cleared of all the spoils of the weekend haul. The wife was able to park her car in there this afternoon.....for about 20 minutes....and then I rolled in with this mess: Digging deep in the trenches (well, more like a half-collapsed box trailer made into a shed....) I came up with another load of junk today including roughly 120 NOS fuel pumps and carbs that appear to be '50-'60's vintage. I have no idea what they fit. Probably some obscure and undesirable vehicles that will soon have me Googling phrases like "Do vintage carburetors make good paperweights?" and "What are some additional ways I can waste my money?" All boxes pictured are full. The packages are pretty weathered but for the most part the contents are in great shape. The only Willys stuff in this haul are the two very cool early Pickup/Wagon (right?) grills. There's a few unopened crates of Ford and Studebaker trinkets too. Fun stuff.

	I believe Ryan made a deal with his wife that he could commandeer her side of the garage as long as he cleaned the snow off her car and warmed it up every day she went to work..Thus far, we have had no snow (very unusual). I'd say he's taking full advantage of a situation.

	You got any snow yet? Waiting to see that Bombardier tank in action.. It might look a little like Captain Nemo's Nautilus knifing through the snow....

Virtually no snow yet which is almost unheard of. And....the Bombardier has a new owner. I sold it Sunday. I was hoping to battle at least one blizzard with it before it went but it didn't work out that way. I'm left with the plow-ready '49 3A for snow removal duties this year. Should be interesting. Or, if temps remain in the '50's through the winter that'd be even better...

	Snow? No snow? How come? The fun is already started here. Made an igloo and a ride for the kids today...

	I'm with the "see the Bombardier in action" group. Only the owner of a 3A could see the beauty in that tank.

	I dragged this home yesterday. I actually "bought it" about a year ago with a trailer load of parts which you have already seen here but just didn't have any room left on my truck so I left it behind. I was bored last week so I called the guy to see if he still had it and he did. I was hoping to be able to just drop it on the red 3A and jettison the BesTop but this thing is a little rougher than I had hoped. It's missing a lot of glass and has some rot. I think it would be a fun and relatively easy project to fix this up but I have so many projects ahead of it who knows if I'll ever get to it. I couldn't find a tag. Any idea what brand it is? And were these full tops a "universal" fit between 2A's a 3A's or were they model specific?

	The rich get richer.... Replacing the flat glass should be fairly inexpensive, I think it would be perfect on your 3a plow truck. Did you have to remove it from a piece?

Did you have to remove it from a piece? It was disassembled and stored in a garage. The Jeep that it was on was one of two that already came home with me in pieces last year It's a Koenig and I'm pretty sure it's for a 3A but it has been modified somewhat. There is some rot which would be fairly easy to repair as the panels are flat. The glass should be pretty simple to replace too. With that said, I have so many projects going right now that it's doubtful I'll get to this any time soon. It's now back outside piled up out in the yard.

	The Willys Hotline sent me deep into the Northlands today. Good thing I wore my pack boots. While I did not bring this home I am close to a deal. Early 3A. Very rough but nearly complete. No matter how this plays out the poor Jeep is snowbound until spring I also happened to fall down a rabbit hole and find this place today. An enchanted forest full of cars from the '30's on up. Probably 100 or more. One of the most surreal places I've visted yet. I'm not sure what's going to happen with them but am glad scrap prices are really low right now...

	Wow. It's like an old salvage yard that time forgot. Surreal is a perfect word to describe this scene. I think I would want to visit this place again...during summer. Tim
