This video brought a tear to my eye

[XxXMOOMOOCOWXxX]

the restoration looks amazing, very thorough job, i especially like how well the powertraing looks. the one thing i wouldve changed, as many people have said, is the colour scheme. I believe the factory red colour was probably the best looking colour on them. i am also 15, and my grandfather has one which i would LOVE to do the same thing to. once again nice job

[albulnes]

GREAT JOB!!

but whats the big circle thing after the transfer case?

i´m restoring one to and it doesn´t have that thing in there!!

AMAZING RESTORATION!

[bgirmus]

@albulnes

Thanks! The round object is the parking brake assembly.

[albulnes]

WOOOWW AMAZING RESTORATION, i´m restoring one to!, i have a question for you, what is the big circle thing after the transfer case, never seen something like that, my own willys have so diferent parts from to many models so i´m a little lost, thanks!

[ThePaulgregg]

Why the hell they don't do them like that no more? The modern ones have to much plastic!

[wootwoot409]

[bgirmus]

@wootwoot409

It's a 134ci 4 cyl flathead.  The trans is a 3 speed T90.

[mudman1948]

beautiful willys. my 48 restoration project is still a work in progress, but it looks nowhere near as good as yours, nor will it, as I spend a lot of time riding it through the woods... but I digress. again, congratulations on your beautifully done restoration.

[djsuggar]

Awesome!

Congrats!

Willys Zamorano.

[bgirmus]

@espdeangibson

?

[espdeangibson]

@bgirmus I saw it in the magazine, and, ummm..... well, idk.

[espdeangibson]

@espdeangibson seeing that article made me want a jeep.

[sprocketsrocket]

Fantastic Job!

[Colorado4Wheelin]

Good job man definitely!!

[GSGTBaker]

We are restoring a 1946 CJ2A and a numbers matching 1947. It looks good but I don't like the color LOL. Whats the numbers for it???

[bgirmus]

@GSGTBaker

The color is an original factory color scheme: Pasture Green with Autumn Yellow wheels. The s/n is 46191. However, the engine is a replacement out of a wrecked 1946. The original block was cracked. The Jeep by no means has matching numbers. However, this project saved a lot of parts from going to scrap.

[GSGTBaker]

@bgirmus

the 46's s/n is 44473 and the 47 is 143706

Our 46 is missing to many pieces so we are restoring it to a point. we are going to paint it up like a service station truck. Orange and Black with super test on it.

[hackmattr]

I started restoring a 1964 1/2 mustang when I was 16. Still going at it 2 years later.

I want to restore one of these old Willys as my next project.

[31funk]

good job...

[Blancoboy605]

Sweet!

[hughesjonathand]

hey thats a 1946 world war 2 jeep that saw action in the war when he first took pictures of it in junk form i noticed bullet holes. anyway thats the car i hope i can drive in a few years

[OkanaganCJ]

@hughesjonathand no its not, thats a cj "civilian jeep" they were never used by the military. but it is a great restoration good job bgirmus

[anonymoususerindenve]

Does anyone know where to get a good unaltered CJ3A frame? Please let me know where, (website would be great if it's a business, or post your video of it if it's a personal item). Please let me know how much it is, and where it would be shipped from so shipping pricing can be figured out.

Thanks so much!

[akissgr1]

Great work, well done.

[MONTESIOPR]

[mowat440]

[FBIisurmama]

how much did that cost you

[bgirmus]

more money than any sane person should spend on an old Jeep

[victerra911]

Hello from Mèxico City. Congratulations.

[popa122]

Nice job man. Im just finishing up my CJ3a project, but its not a restore, just wanted to get it running and driving well enough to have fun with.

[sirshepalot]

nice but why did you put your axles over your leafsprings

[bgirmus]

Because that is how the Jeep came from the factory

[sirshepalot]

cant argue bout that

[dounut852]

plse tell me where you got the military tires my uncle and i bought a 1946 willys CJ-2A and we need tires

[crazytacostudios]

where did you get all the parts from?

[bgirmus]

Multiple suppliers. Primarily Walck's 4WD in Pennsylvania.

[serigraphos]

it`s, very very very nice.. congratulations from Colombia

I love Willyus `46 (jipaos car)

[MetalBoer13]

Good Work buddy! I'll also be staring with a '46 CJ2 soon. Got an MB in my sights as well! Regards, Leon (South Africa)

[geepcj2a]

Man that is beautiful! What color are the wheels?

[bgirmus]

The wheels (which look much more yellow in person) are autumn yellow and the body is pasture green.
