   Beautiful wagon. The white spoke wheels are actually working for it but I’d sure like to see it with some stock wheels. I like the front bumper with the extras and the two-tone colors are nice, too…

   Todd, you’ve got the bug! I can tell you’re still jazzed about your new Traveller. What color do you plan to paint your Traveller?

   This red & white Station Wagon sure looks like a nice combination.

   Hi Steve, I’ve had this stinking bug since I was a kid! It used to be just flatties, then it morphed into shortnosed round fenders. I think it’s safe to say I just like jeeps. I’m thinking painting the traveler back to Omaha orange with an Ivory top. What do you think…

   Yes, keeping it Omaha Orange would look great. Do you plan to paint Ivory below the trim, as with this red one? If you keep it orange, you wouldn’t have to paint the interior, yet. Unless you are planning a full restoration. I think you should paint the exterior with the hood and fenders off so you could enjoy driving it sooner. You may not even have to paint the firewall. You can always paint the interior at a later date.

   My first car was a ’57 Parkway, not knowing what I was falling into at 16. It’s now painted and waiting for me to put it back together. It’s a utilitarian rig, so it’s a solid pine green, as original. There’s no trim. The grill bars will be painted ivory. I haven’t decided if I want to add front bumperettes. They sure dress it up, but not original on my old Forest Service wagon.

   I also have a former Border Patrol wagon, and I can’t decided if I want to paint it the original color, or something else. I don’t care for Sea Foam green on Jeeps, only Dodge trucks look good in light green. Plus, I can’t find any pictures on the internet of Border Patrol Willys Wagons to see how they were originally painted. I can see the paint underneath, but I want to see one before I paint it. I’m leaning toward solid Ivory, inside and out. Inside is Ivory.

   You can’t help to like them all. It’s just tough to try to not want them all. I hope you don’t start perusing the FC Connection website. Stay away from those addicting things! (lol)

   I do want to do a full resto but it will be a while. Im just starting to build a new house and shop. I did pick up a little ’59 fc on a whim last spring. I found it behind a barn down in cottonwood. Ran into the original owners son in town and couldn’t resist the story. I need help. The first step is admitting it…

   Oh boy, do you ever need help, Todd! The closest group counseling session for FC owners is in Tacoma, WA on July 31, through August 2nd, 2015. Attendance is your only hope, with or without your FC. I’ve been to the Tacoma gathering all 7 times, and I’m doing much better now. I no longer buy one FC a year.

   Here’s the flier announcing this year’s NW FC Get-Together.

   If you can’t make that date, the next FC meet is the first annual Jeep FC Meet in Southwest Ohio, July 24th through 26th, 2015.

   Here’s a short video of past FC Roundups in Phoenix.
