Little more work today. Ran new fuel lines, cleaned the tank, new fuel pump, removed the wheels and checked the brakes. It appears they all have newer wheel cylinders. Not much more I can do until parts arrive.

That was literally the first time it fired up to run it, the belt gave out. Fn ford’s always breaking down. It really smoothed out after that video. I took time to install the top and spare tire,

She runs !!! 40 psi of oil pressure too

Well, it has oil pressure and enough to make the oil canister leak. It also fired up with one shot of starting fluid, I grabbed some parts from my other flatty project. Unfortunately this carb won’t work. Soon as I rebuild kit for this carb, it’ll be running 😍

Started working on getting it fired up today, pulled the fuel tank, pump and lines. None of this shit is original. At some point I’ll get it close . I ordered a carb rebuild kit, some brake parts. Started spraying PB blaster to get everything back moving. With any luck I’ll at least get it...

Thanks !!! I thought so as well!’ I’m trying to figure out the mix match of parts. 🙃 Frame and engine numbers

It’s definitely a Ford motor in a jeep !! That’s some bullshit. I hooked a jump box up and it turned over. Going to check compression and buy a oil pressure gauge and see where it’s at, I wonder which one will be on the road first ?

For some reason, it was calling to stop

Love you too. I forgot the motor pic.

Mary was a super nice lady. I promised to come back and give her a ride soon as it’s on the road.

Well, I was shopping the inter webs for parts for my other flat fender and found this not far from Eddie’s place in Nevada. 1941 Willys Slat grill, number 13,489 off the assembly line. These were built prior to Ford getting the contract. It’s really one of my Holy Grail jeeps I’ve always...

I just bought some more parts for it. I’ll be updating that thread soon 🥳

No, lol. That one is in Nevada :) Keep up with my collection. lol

I plan to get it running, but my end goal is to build this into a prototype Willys from 1941. Willys MA78621, one of approximately 45 known 1941 models in the world, an estimated 20 of which are restored. So buying one is a rare option, and I don’t feel bad cutting this one up.

So I picked up another project Jeep. I’ve previously own part of it anyways. If any recalls my M38A1 build, I had a donor Jeep that I only used the good fenders and grill from. https://www.wayalife.com/threads/flip-1953-m38a1.51703/page-6 Well, I gave that running gear to a friend of mine Ian...
