Restored by FSGT Keith L. Woodward, William M. Jones, Jason A. Bryant. Sherrel Blain Jones, and myself Jeremy T. Jones. Jeep arrived at our house one very cold and rainy march morning, with a shipment of lawn mowers. Believe it or not it still ran although words can not describe what it looked like, right down the extensive rot and the bullet hole through the windshield.
This jeep was named Frankenstein for all the mismatched screwed up parts found on it. After about $8,000 in replacements and 6 months of fever pitched rebuilding she is now finally fit for parade. No detail was overlooked, we even replaced the wood in the C channels under the body with correctly planed down 1944 dated tent pegs. The only modern thing on this jeep is the coat of acid-etched primer she wears under her O.D. green to keep the rust devils away. Runs like a champ,as her engine was rebuilt by a race car company!
Signs of a major accident where everywhere, replaced trani, broken frame, crumpled body......she had a hard life, but held on until help found her!
