Just to let everyone know, I started a build thread here. I figure at this point it's probably best not to have everything in the new member intro thread. I am hoping to get some more work done on it this weekend. So far I have started it on starter fluid, used bolt cutters to remove 80-90%...

As of 2 hours ago, it lives! we got it started on starter fluid, tomorrow we try with gas

Jesse6325: Orange Grove! I remember driving through there when I used to take my VW Thing to Corpus along the scenic route. Been a long time since I have heard that name :) Thanks much, this restoration is being started on an extremely small budget, at the moment the budget should cover oil...

two.fiveM35: Thanks! A little update, if anyone has information or a copy of NAVWEPS 19-25-115, it would be greatly appreciated. I ended up with a couple of pages from it, and it is the correct manual for this vehicle. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any easily available online source...

combatmech: Thanks much! That is pretty much the response I have gotten from everyone. The museum response was that the equipment chief and their library contained no information on it, they searched the tech chief's library with no luck, but were going to pass the request to the tech chief and...

Blueduce: Very cool, this will be my first time trying to title something that is lacking a vin, so figured I would ask before I get everything together. It looks like finding info on this is going to be a real pita. The museum has no records or photos concerning it, but they forwarded my email...

197thhhc: Thanks! USAFFS: I plan on insuring it if I ever use it on the road, but once I get all the work done on it and get it repainted, registered, etc; it will still be spending most of its time in the yards. Luckily my brother's place is across the street from my backyard, and at a dead...

I have a bill of sale on the vehicle, but have been unable to locate a VIN. For the purposes of titling, would the serial number on the data plate suffice? Also, as the vehicle is going to be sitting in either my back yard or my brother's while it is being worked on, would form SR-2 suffice as...

Thanks for that, am reading it now. Originally I was thinking of fabricating a windshield (since it has places to mount the supports), and doing a little work on removable additions (turn signals, seat belts, etc) and then registering it as an LSV, but I would be much more interested in getting...

Managed to clean up the stamp a bit more, element is an MS35346-1, will probably try to source a wix 51100 for it. I also looked over the year and engine serial, it seems this thing was 6-volt positive ground at some point, not sure if they did a full conversion or not, so will need to check...

I managed to get some of the stuff cleaned up in the engine bay. Motor is a Wisconsin vg4d spec no. 294141 Sticker on oil filter housing is unreadable, stamping says "Replace element with MS3xx46-1" xx looks like it could be x5 not sure on the two x's Thanks much combatmech, I am going to...

armytruck63: Good catch, the po said that when he did the points and such, the replacements came from chrysler. He also said that he believed the rear axle and pumpkin were a ford product. Not sure on the oil filter as I haven't taken anything apart yet or looked for model numbers, I do know...

Very cool, I just sent the museum an email as well, Don't know why I didn't think of that as it is one of the places I visited last time I was in FL. I was unable to find any information via google, so went with the manufacturer, that led me to taylor dunne. The PO has the catalog he received...

Everyone, thanks for the warm welcome :) armytruck63: I just took some pics of the engine bay. Once I find a supplier for the clutch parts, will get better pics. Until then I will probably be ripping out wiring and figuring out the bare minimum to get the engine started. As I have not seen a TM...

Hello, long time lurker, first time poster. I just picked up a 1967 cn-40-a with a wisconsin 4 cylinder. Pretty much all of the wiring has been chewed up, brakes are shot, and clutch is out. At the very least it should be a fun project :) Am hoping to restore it to near original condition, but...
