It’s pretty rough.

“I bought someone else’s stalled work in progress several years ago as a 2nd undertaking for me and my son. My boy’s attending college now, so our second Jeep isn’t going to happen. The guy who had the ’42 before us did quite a bit of work on the rolling chassis and tub, but otherwise just bought and stockpiled new parts.

THE BAD — Easier to list what’s not in the “basket” than what is:
• Doesn’t have center data plate or frame tag
• No inner windshield frame
• No instruments other than a fuel gauge
• No radiator, top bows, or distributor..

THE GOOD
• Exceptional chassis, no cracks or deep rust at all.
• Original Tub: prior owner installed a new front floor (less tank well). New rear floor panel standing by.
• ’44 engine from a Hobart Welder. “S” bore, Nil wear (Rattle-can rebuild). Head tanked, flux’d, resurfaced — no cracks.
• VA title, “41 WILLYS”, KY assigned VIN.
• From the original floor’s toe board gusset #97753, correct VIN would be early December 1942, MB194000 – MB 196500 (if the tub is original to this frame)
• New leaf springs, shackles and tie rod ends already installed.
• Repro wiring harness, new in the bag
• All 3 seat frames.
• Gusset plates, and new spring mounts already in hand to replace Bubba’s bumper.
• Correct T84 and transfer case, condition unknown.”
