OK - fast forward since the rally and Dinger bought a few more items from some of you.
Some of the chit he was told that was for his M38A1 was crapola and not even close for jeeps FWIW but I guess a few of ya made some $ off him.
Dinger is looking to install a top on this and will need bows and all the components - so if you have anything PM me because he will not look at his PM's.
He should be ready to take er home anytime now - reason for a little gloss to that Marine green is obvious - it is outside drying from final touchups from my grubby hangs.

Looks good Z. If the spare tire was much larger, you'd have to get a smaller jerry can 
I see the USMC rear lift rings, do you guys have the front for it?
Is the drivers seat tilted back some? It looks laid back to me.

I think his yr was a 53 C. From what I understand they just rotated into place on the front swivels and leaned back. There is no locking device like on Debs 55 - if you watch early yr war movies ya see them get in - flip their right foot in the door cowl and grab the passenger handle and hold on and hope the driver does not hit the brakes.
It does lean a tad - there is a piece of rubber someone placed on its backpad where it rests - I think I am just going to remove it. Is kinda like Debs - this baby is meant to get dirty and driven. Now if she or he decides to go through water with these they better find a new fella to turn their wrenches for them.
As soon as this is out of the garage - ole Dave is on his toys for once.
I will look around for you CLinto and see what I have for yours to rummage through (BTW) I can get that transmission fixed for you

Great pictures and nice job on the upholstery. Is that rag on the bumperette standard issue?
