Enjoyed the show. There on Sat. Great show after the rain. Next year, I plan to bring an M38A1, just got to work out transport. Great video, more vehicles on Sunday. Looking forward to next year. Dave

Welcome from Fuquay, not far from Raleigh. Dave

John Emery is the best. He has the parts, great advice and great to deal with. Bill Watson was a great resource and a top quality individual. John Emery took over the business and does his best to carry on the tradition Bill left. Haven't been disappointed dealing with John. Dave

Have the same problem ordering parts. The NAPA store will get out the books, but Advance Auto and others, I have to pick the counter guys that I let wait on me. That's the great thing about the forums, I get the part numbers listed on the forums and BAM! there it is and the number worked. I...

Looks like fun. I usually try to make military vehicle events in NC, but went to Columbia SC today for a Vietnam Veterans welcome home celebration with my dad. We had a great time. Nice pictures of your truck and the Gamma Goat. Sounds like a good road trip. Thanks for posting Dave

Man, Bill was always willing to help. So many stories of him going out of his way to help get a Mule going. I got my Mule after he closed his business, but John Emery suggested I call him. I talked with Bill several time and thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and his helpful advice. He...

Welcome from another North Carolinian. I saw some of those trucks at the Denton show. They are nice. One of the guys there with a 5 ton said it was easy to fix his CTIS on the truck and the parts were cheap. Probably another owner has some troubleshooting advice. You gotta love the...

Welcome from a fellow North Carolinian. I also live near Raleigh and I'm very familiar with the Franklin, Sylvia area as well. Lots of summers spent in Cashiers, Cullowhee, Sylvia, and Franklin area. Lot's of good information and help to be found here. Dave

I always love this show. Maybe one year I'll get one of my vehicles running. Can't wait to get a jeep there. Great people, I saw a lot of old friends and made some new ones. Got to ride in some jeeps and trucks and really learned a lot. The engineering on those vehicles is fascinating. This...

Mine had an Artic top when I bought it. It has plywood doors. I have some pics on my album. It is stored in the shipping container. I'll have to measure the doors, but it might be a while. If I get a chance I'll send you a PM. Dave

I've got one on mine, came with plywood doors. Want to restore it, but i will probably put on a soft top. pictures of it in my photo gallery. Doors have stencils on them speed limit city 25, rural 45 Autobahn 55 or something like that. It's stored in a shipping container, s I'll have to look...

Looks real good, after all the prep work, it seems good to make progress that that you can really see. The last Jeep I took the body off the frame and the body is still on the rotisserie. I was working on the M38A1 last night, I cleaned the frame with elbow grease and wire brush and preped it...

Looking good, I like to see someone else also has a newer jeep, the M38A1 is running, when the new brakes are hooked up and I can drive it, I'll start the body work. Dave

Saw the Evapo rust demo at the car show in Raleigh. Pretty impressive. if it works like I saw it should be great, but things don't always work as well for me when I get home. Next year I may try some to soak bolts in. The problem is the need for so much to soak large parts in. Since the...
