re: Revisiting a jeep build from the past

Brings back fond memories.  When I was a kid, my dad purchased a war surplus jeep for around $600.  It even had a few bullet holes init.  It was his drive to work vehicle, his hunting vehicle and ourlittle 2.5 acre farm tractor.  I leaned to drive it when I was 10.  He had it for many years.  Finally parted with it after I went into the service.  He eventually traded the little 4 banger engine for a flat head  V8..  After all the years of hard work and faithful service he sold it for over $1600.  
Nice job on your model!
