    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    Been out of action for a few weeks with a sprained wrenching wrist. I am not good at assembling things with just my left hand. Anyway, got into cleaning my fuel tank which has been sitting for years. Fortunately, I cleaned up the major gunk last year and started the final cleaning yesterday...

    here it is coming home

    Make sure you save those radiator hose clips. Originals are much better than the repro's which tend to leak like swiss cheese.

    For those who cannot attend the GA Rally, Ron pretty much dedicates his time, talents and the services of his wrecker for the duration of the Rally. [thumbzup]

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    Tried to get the final prep done for start-up but fell a few items short. Will add the fluids tomorrow and some basic wiring and hopefully, this sucker will fire up. Here are some photos.

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    Got some great weather today with light wind so I was able to get O.D. paint on the underside of interior of the tub. Sides and rear will come next. Considering the amount of rust on the floor, transmission hump and fuel tank sump, I am pleased with the result.

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    Finally finished my least favorite part of a restoration which is the body work. Got all the rusted areas repaired with a relatively minimum amount of body work. Weather was perfect today and hopefully will be the same tomorrow so I can get two good coats of O.D. applied. Once that is done I...
