That takes me way back, I'm going to send that photo on to my colleague and we can have laugh at how much time we spent at the bar and how little we can remember of it. Thanks for the memory jog!
Ford GPW 6008, in slow process of restoration.

Love the cameos by the Porsche and the early 151 wheel.

Re: 42 GPW #1871 Restoration
Funny you would say that. The M151 wheel was leaned against the rolling work table while I was welding on the floor next to it. I looked up and had a "OH SH.." moment. Move it quickly...
