Wiring After three days of following, searching ans some repair I finally got power from the ignition switch and down to distributor. First attempt to start the engine was not successful. Now for that tasks.

Doing some body while I wait for some electrical parts.

"off-white/eggshell" - any more detail on this color would be wonderful. Is there any spec's or detail on this color? Thanks Todd

WOW, once again it's been a long time since posting. Numerous life events have occurred that have kept me from working on my trucks. Most recently prostate cancer with a radical prostatectomy completed. But the heck with that, let's talk M43. I pulled the engine back out of the ambulance...

Finally working on her aagain :} WOW it has been a long time since I posted. 2015 has not been the best year for me. The APA I have had no less than six life altering events this year. Most physical event and the one that has prevented me from working on my MV’s was a traumatic amputation...

Sure I am willing to help. PM and I will provide my email for communcation. Todd

Joe, how sad is this - I have never been to a convention. So when and where is this? Todd

Hey Joe, I have to tell you I am rethinking the SeaFaom Green. There is some evidence it was used, but not a lot that I could locate. So I'm now leaning toward the white. But first some rust repair. I did have to cut a lot of the screw out - ok drill them out. Todd

So as I started to removed things today - big surprise I found rust. So now the process of removing and fixing. The question, what is the best option on this? Part of me wants to remove the z section between the roof and wall, the other part of me is leaning to cutting and 'scabbing'...

So I have a few weeks between two jobs. The 'honey do' list is done - so now it is on to the M43 list. Working on removing everything in the passenger compartment - based on the recommendations of others that have proceeded before me. The start of the day (ok hours) and the ending. Tomorrow I...

In case you are wondering were the restoration states - will a slight delay. A 1947 Jeep Willy's came my way and my son wanted it this summer - so a slight delay. While it might not be military - we are still going with OD, canvas seat, top, etc. Yesterday another interesting vehicle came...

Major Joe - I was afraid the suggestion would be to pull the inside out. I was thinking the same thing. It might be be such a bad idea however, as I have decided to repaint the back inside the Seafoam Green, so everything has to come out anyways. The rack is totally gone, so a replace is my...

The Spotlight was not 'moving' so I removed it. Upon taking it apart I found a missing piece called a 'rack' GL-5938521. Still looking for this part.

The Red Cross were bad on top and both sides. The rear is not good either and will be totally stripped off and replaced.

Roof Rust removal - as I pulled away paint and removed rust - I found more rust. I know, what a surprise. I kept cutting until the rust was removed. I would like to 'shot' POR-15 down the areas that I did not open up. Has anybody done this before? How have you managed to get coverage in...

As promised - updates on the work thus far. Inside - removed ceiling to inspect and in preparation of repainting. Some rust, however mice was the most damaging.

No I have not found anything about it. I just figure others have stated they were not totally uncommon I like it and it looks like it belongs there, so it is staying.

West Michigan Flood OK so it has been a long time since I have added photos or updated my work. Honestly, I will update. But I just thought I would share what is happening here in Western Michigan - RAIN. There was six inches of water in the barn - down to about four now. I still have to...

Sound like a good idea of getting together and sharing thoughts. I went looking for photos of your project - I could not find any. Did I just miss them?? Where are you on the restoration?? Todd

Yeah I was hoping to get if for less than 3k also. I had been looking for sometime for one. With the completeness of inside, the little amount of rust . . . the price was worth it to me. That is probably the bottom line - what is it worth to you?
