The Original Smartass
My newest Jeep was towed into the shop today. Its a 1953 M38A1. Unfortunately for the Jeep and the last owner, it was in a roll over accident. Shes one ugly green bitch, One day she will be pretty again.

That thing is awesome. I occasionally look for old Jeeps like that. How's the engine on it?
 
The ugly, more than likely I’ll find a a original tub for a replacement. I think this one is a little to far gone.

WooHoo!! Congrats to you! Looking forward to seeing you getting her fixed up and looking nice again :thumb:

Just about to post those. The Jeep stalled before it rolled, so I know the motor is safe. The entire drivetrain is spotless. I think I can get it running easily. It’s has oil and antifreeze. I don’t think it even leaks much!
