Found an old Jeep

[Valley Rock]

Picked this up yesterday, I think it's it's a 1945 MB (Willys), I am going to need A LOT of parts .

9-slat grille, yep it's a MB or a ford GPW.. There's only a few minor differences between them, as you may know

Just the right size for the boy !

More pics! These are fun to analyze. All I see so far is a vacant engine compartment and lots of scabbed on plate on the front frame horns.

It's had alot of crummy mods over the years (80 of them) but this thing is rust free which is almost unbelievable

Starting with a good body is super important with these, otherwise you end up with a Philippines body which to me is lame. All the gingerbread stuff can be found here and there. Speaking of which, looks like two of your coffin handles are up on top of your homemade Arctic enclosure.

Excellent! I’m looking forward to seeing how you bring it back to life for more generations to enjoy. Glad to see your jr Jeeper admiring it too. I also have a jr Jeeper that can’t wait to drive one on his own!

does it have square-ish toolbox cover on top of rear fender hump, or a roundish one?
