These are my other hobbies that suck all my money out of my accounts before it ever reaches my hands. I work on and restored classic military vehicles. So far I only have the two jeeps in my collection, but am trying to round up a Kaiser M35A2-C "Duece and a half" that I like and is reasonably priced.
1942 Ford GPW. I bought it two years ago as a vehicle to get my dad off the couch to work on, but he just likes to drive it, so I wrench on it, and keep it maintained. I gave it to him on Christmas Eve, and had Santa drive it up to the party we were having...
1953 M38A1. This my other one, I bought it as a project to restore and it's an ongoing battle. The guy who had it before me tried to make it go faster by putting a 1966 mustang 289 in it, but forgot to change the gearing, so it's still slow, but sounds like a bat out of hell.:rofl2: This was my first military vehicle and restored it, and dedicated it to the memory of my great uncle who was KIA in Korea July of 1953, the same month and year the jeep was made. It has been on the tarmat at Luke a couple times, and was rented out for a film shoot for Government liquidations contest they had a few months back.
