GPW 25798 Finally Finished

[ghengus]

I know that this is not an unrestored jeep, but I finally finished my 1942 "Script" Ford #25798 enough to take it to its first show. Restored to USN USS SIBONEY, per the "jeep" carrier my grandfather was one. A way to honor my grandfathers service. This has been a 10 year 3 generation project (my grandfather, father, and me). Finally got some time this past year to really move along on it in between my duties with the CG. Had to post some pictures of it. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

Beautiful! Can you post pics of what the Jeep looked like before?

Thganks. I will try. My father still has the original pictures. Should be able to get some pictures around Thanksgiving.

Nice restoration! I am almost finished with GPW 113491 Navy jeep and I also am numbering it after my Grandfathers WWII ship the USS Smith DD378.

Great job! They take on a whole new personality in a color other than OD. I like that shade, very well done.

Cheers.
