For entertainment purposes I'll share some highlights of my '09s work log.


Exterior Behr Marquee, front cab DIY bed liner, cargo area Rustoluem rattle can.

There is phrase which is repeated in the CUCV forum: "If it's electrical clean it, if it's rubber replace it".


So... cleaned the wiring harnesses, eliminating splices, cleaning connectors, general housekeeping, etc.

The rubber is slowly being replaced, from axle spindle seals and to window channels.

Big thanks to all the pro's who take the time to share their tricks and tips.

I think Tinwoodsman's most excellent MB restoration deserves at least 50 votes!! I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen a better job done!!

So....We need 20 more folks to vote for Tinwoodsman!!:papabear:

I really can't compete with these other guys, I've just taken a truck and modified it to my needs for off-roading and light lifting.
I like the set-up, thinking to do something similar on my M51A3 w/w to help out at my son's blacksmith workshop in the woods. He has strong enough poles and a block and tackle laying around to do this; the holding ties I would connect to the dump body overhang.


For the rest, we still need more canvasing!!!

OK Y'all....I think I can predict the winner....BUT...I'm kinda disappointed that Tinwoodsman's MB has not reached the 50 vote goal we set.:whistle:

Come on Y'all...you know that magnificent piece of WWII history deserves it's due![thumbzup]

If you can look thru the build thread and decide NOT to vote for this vehicle...well...I don't know what to say.

Oh...and there's only 2 days left for you to decide.:papabear:

Unless a miracle occurs...and I do believe in them.
Let me be the first to CONGRADULATE TWM on one outstanding full rebuild to perfection. SALUTE.

Timwoodsman, PB, if the race would be anywhere close to undecided or close to our Don's goal of 50 votes, I would have your back as a dutiful family member. However, it is a resounding deserved landslide already, but the 50 votes are out of reach. In this condition, I respectfully will go against the thread and vote for mdmorgans utility underdog truck that touched me and deserves some extra votes.

(Kent, what happened with the "original" cab that came with it; I liked that the horrible look of that thing).
