Very brave restoration you done a great job, my father has one which is half complete but he as fallen ill and as spent a lot of time in hospital so i have got a good group of friends together and we are going to finish it for him for his birthday in three weeks time he has had the jeep for 8 years and never driven it so i think he will be very happy

@wheresblair my grandfather used the jeeps over in the Philippines in ww2, those machines are wonderful he told me, he had the dodge wc56-57's over there too but there not as maneuverable as the good ol jeeps. its wonderful that you're restoring one of these workhorses.

Congrats and a great job!

I am looking into restoring a Willys-MB (1943). Is there a resource that you would recommend for detailed instructions for restoring a WWII jeep. Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for this video. I'm in the process of buying a Korean War M38 jeep, one of the nicest I have ever seen, never wrecked, never messed up, just someone put an inline 6 Hurricane engine in it and cut the firewall a bit to fit it, but besides from that absolutely no rust or patches. This inspires me to "Git-r-done!" Kudos on saving this piece of history.
