I know its not Reilly a military jeep but it really wants to be! My 1946 cj2a has been setting neglected for about 6 years and Zout has inspired me to get the old girl back in driving order! The frame rail in the LF has a bad case of cancer! over my 2 1/2 days home i stripped her down to the frame and dropped it off at the welders. I do not weld! The wannabe roll bar my dad put on is coming off, it is a light bar from a pickup and wouldn't do much good in a roll over any way! The fiberglass body is in fairly good shape , the paint is peeling and it will get a good sanding and repaint. Few holes in the floor will be fixed, whoever put the holes in for the brake,clutch peddles must have measured once and cut 4 times to get them to fit. It will be completely rewired and all new gages because most of them are missing! the brakes will be redone with new! My plan is to have it at the GA rally this Oct. Engine,trans,transfer are all in good shape. i did buy a electronic distributer for it. and it will get a good cleaning and tune up. Going to make it into a WWII medic jeep since I have most of the stuff to do it already. The old guy down the road from me spent the hole time with me telling me war stories and was a great help with info I did not know. I told him he could be the first to drive it when it gets running again! I think it Reilly made his day! He watches my place while I'm gone and gets my mail for me. I think i have him talked into going to the GA rally with me too. He has no computer so he cant get on. don't have much time before the GA rally but I'm sure i can get it done. this wont get updated vary often because I'm only home every 2 weeks so bear with me!
