Looking good, I like to see someone else also has a newer jeep, the M38A1 is running, when the new brakes are hooked up and I can drive it, I'll start the body work.

Looks good. What type of prep did you do to it?
Ospho to kill the rust, elbow grease, and some bondo . . . . . showroom, it is not . . . . . but presentable, (and cost effective) it is.

every time I see an mv in that primer I think of the movie Operation Petticoat.

Looks real good, after all the prep work, it seems good to make progress that that you can really see. The last Jeep I took the body off the frame and the body is still on the rotisserie.
I was working on the M38A1 last night, I cleaned the frame with elbow grease and wire brush and preped it with PickleX20, like Ospho, it kills the rust and then I use red Zero-Rust as a primer covered with Gillespie. Seems to work well.

Seeing that mule "slung" under the tree reminds me of the mortar sections when I was in the 101stABN(Air assault)! They looked funny slung under a huey and even funnier under a blackhawk!
Looking good on the motor pool TJ

I thought it was cruel and very unusual punishment to hang a mule?
looks funny though, and nice paint job

I don't think the oak tree will hold an M-35 Looking real good.
Looking real good.The paint is a little glossy . . . but I expect the Florida sun will tone it down a bit it short order . . .
Finished the M35 this weekend . . . . it kinda looked like a UN truck after I primed it.
Now I just need to line up all the toys and a row and have a stenciling party!
