Cool jeep. In that state is a blank canvas. You could easily do a complete 100% museum quality restoration or (probably my favorite) a nice mini resto with a off road vibe.
Use all mv stuff and build a trail jeep but with a stock look.

To me that is they to do it. I like mostly stock with my own twist.
Also with a build like you are talking about if you go out for some mud of trails and get a scratch its not the end of the world

Roger, in fact my son plans to drive it a lot! I'm sure form time to time we will get it dirty, after all that's what they were made to do! We don't really have official mud trails/rallies up here, too many folks worried about lawyers! But we will find some off road routes to keep the squeaks out!

Ok.
Just come down my way after you get it built if you want to. We can hit turkey bay its a big ORV area in land between the lakes. I could probably get some more green iron to come too.
I hear ya about the lawyers. Since so many people are either lawsuit happy or will destroy the area most people won't let anyone ride on their ground, be it atv, or JEEPs.

OK, mine is M151A2 but we always called them a "jeep" when I was in the Army (1968-1977). Got the radiator fan shroud bracket resoldered on driver side. The shop also found a few small leaks and repaired them. All for $75.00!

Agreed KansasBobcat In my days in the Army (1972-2013) we always called them jeeps, I never heard MUTT until I started following forums a couple of years ago! LOL
Now the bad news, as y'all can see above we took her out for her first run, bad news we now found out the block is cracked!
So pulling the engine to see where and how bad, so I'm might need an engine? Bummer, we were so close!
