Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Gentlemen the jeep made it's "maidentrip" this morning! I was able to borrow the special license plates from a garageholder to use them on the jeep. This morning, I took her on the road for the first time! The jeep rides, the gearbox is shifting, the brakes are working, it's a big relief f...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hello men I did some more work on the jeep the past week. Most of it was "cosmetical"... The dashboard received a new paintcoat after all the knobs and gauges were taped off and then I mounted the rifle holder. DSCN5668.JPG I also took the oppotunity of the rainy weather to start adding th...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hello gentlemen It's alive !!! The past weeks I've been doing a lot of detailwork on the jeep. The paint of the jerrycan was stripped and a hole was discovered in the bottom... I left it open for a few days and took the chance of welding it and it worked out, the hole is shut. The inside of the jerr...

Re: Front brake problem
Hi Pete I'm glad you solved your brake problem. The diameter of the small LHS hole is 0.35 mm. I use a small drilbit from my modeling tools. If you want to be sure that your brakes don't tighten up, you have to use the correct brake lever! Most of the pattern new ones have the correct part number bu...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hi Mark I did most of the work alone and only needed a few times help of my wife or my friend when the parts were too heavy or too big to handle them alone. It's important to have the correct tools and information to achieve a job. And most important: I have lots of time... More news coming soon! Gr...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Gentlemen the next episode of the restoration: The bunch of parts from the beginning is starting to look like a jeep. After the placement of the "tub" on the frame I was able to mount a lot of parts on it. At the rear: the jerrycan holder with straps, the spare wheel holder and the spare w...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hi, here I am again After a lot of bodywork, i decided it was time to work a bit on the frame. A lot of parts could be placed on there before the tub is installed. It's easier to put some parts on the frame when it's still good accessible. The towing hook and the bumperettes were mounted on the rear...
