Two with on go you did good!! Look forward to the photos, Wouldn't rush into parting with anything untill you understand all that you have and what is original and not and while the rebuild yards often spat out jeep salids there is nothing wrong with a good jeep even if it made from a blend at least it was all ww2 era bits.

Hi,
It looks like you are already selling your jeeps on CRAIGSLIST with pictures included.

Here is the link to your Craigslist ad: http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/3809221281.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Betchel McCone did restore jeeps in Birmingham, Alabama during WWII.
