This weekend I displayed the jeep at the Southwest Military Transport Show held at the CAF Museum in Mesa, AZ. and I won my first award, "Best of Show". I was totally surprised and couldn't believe it!

Some photos of my display. I added a 50's vintage bunny hat and a 1911 holster like the ones in my father's old photos.

After the show I took some photos next to some of the vintage aircraft.

I have an extra 1911 magazine pouch if you need one for your pistol belt, PM me with your address.

Mike, Why are you surprised ? Your Jeep is & looks fantastic.

My sentiments entirely. A well deserved award, which I'm sure will not be the last...

Seems that the AHMTA won't let you "fade away gracefully" either. :wink:

Congratulations, a well deserved award.

Well if you insist on keeping it on top I guess I'll throw another photo in.

Last Weekend at the Open House Show at Falcon Field, Mesa, AZ. Falcon field was actually used to train British pilots during WWII. A few of them actually made it to the show!

Have you contacted the person who did the work to ask for help? Going to the forums first can be a waste of time.

This thread has been a great inspiration to me. Thanks for all the great pic's/advice/information.

I'm on a solo mission with my project so I've been trying to meter my efforts. I wasn't planning on pulling the tub or disassembling/reassembling the whole engine/tranny/transfer case since it all "works". Reading this thread has made me reconsider my goals though. For now I'm doing what I can with mine but seeing what you've done here has me considering a full blown tear down eventually... when I get time, money and a few extra hands that is

Beautiful job you've done here!

Thank You for your kind words! Everyday that I look at my jeep I think about all the hard work I put into it and it's hard to believe I actually did it myself, especially since this was my first time ever restoring a vehicle. At times I just wanted to quit especially after my Dad passed away, but his spirit kept me going.

Where did you get the decals on the rear of the jeep? They would look good on my USAF m38
