New guy here. I purchased a 1965 Kaiser Jeep M109A3 from another member of this site after losing out on a couple of Deuce auctions. I drove it home about 100 miles without a hitch. Just driving it sure brought back some memories (including muscle memories)!
My plan is to take the exterior back to as close to original condition as I can, keeping in mind that this is the first motor vehicle project I have ever done other than minor engine repairs. I've never done body work, paint, or major system rebuilds. So, I plan to learn a lot.
So far, I've removed the doors to start working on them and cleaned some minor parts. Today I removed the Jerry can holder, cleaned it with a wire wheel, sanded it, and applied a coat of Rusty Metal primer. While some may consider it work, for me it is a welcome retreat from my desk jockey office job.
Here are the initial pictures of the truck. I hope to update time to time with photos, and probably with questions! Thanks for having me.
