How do you know when and old jeep is out of oil ?....... it stops leaking.

Maybe if you offered him a 24 pack, and a song he will let it go.... im sure not tooo much arm turning would be needed lol.

That does not look fun....

This the fun part now. Easy assembly of good parts.

ONly on the early batch. Latter years, the grill had to be unbolted completely to remove.

Easiest way to do that is to tack flat corners in and to maget/clamp steel as you move forward so mext inch or so is even with tank and tac again. Rinse and repeat. As you slowly move to the rounded part, it will naturaly follow the curve. Works even better if you heat the patch metal as you go...

extra 10 gl is sure nice as well.

its a jeep.... why are they bondoing dents for perfection ? hammer out and move on.

Interesting ding

I learned from my first one to not over do. Alot times you will not get the enjoyment out of it to equal an over done restoration. Fix it and engjoy, It also helps a whole lot on the pocket book, which makes it funner again.

Its funny how people would rather spend all the time trying to over bondo, than to just weld in a new small piece to fix the body. I do realise alot past owners may not had a welder, but most did or knew a welder.

NIce, that is alot of perfect fab work.

Yes the button gets painted od as well. The nos are od already. Your pics make me want to get another stock m38a1. But then i look at the one in my back yard with a 350 v8, and i remember oh ya... Smalll.. :cautious:

Crown makes a repo civi pump. As for diff, there is a lot. Military only has one rotating pump wheel, and the relief valve is in the casing, not the lid. Both fit same and do same job, just different designs and different availability.

Tip: Stick with the civilian repo oil pumps, when going to a show or selling, switch to military pump. The military ones are almost impossible to find now. That way for dailyish driver you use civi, so no real issue if it fails.

Lol i think the dog is excited. Like your rubber mat on back floor, tempting to get one just so don't abuse floor now i see it.

Got my engine running, then i discovered my radiator took a bashing while in storage.. Two leaks and not holding water well, big bumber. Also found couple oil leaks and burned my hand on the hot oil, hope got those fixed. Got all my fording system together and attached, except the line that run...

Congrats again bravo. Wade i have an 65 m38a1. Got the engine turned over and running on its own fuel system today. Got half my floor panels and dash painted, and only have one little side patch left on the body.Woohoo, patch, paint, merge, drive.

Congrats wade and bravo, both look great. Today i got mine to turn over and run on starter fluid, later in day i found out the comp who rebuilt my fuel pump put the top portion on 360 wrong. It was blowing air into gas tank, instead of sucking it, fixed that. Hope to have it running on fuel...

That is an awfully nice table to be painting on, shame you :)
