This will run the rest of your life with no issues. Nice job.
I'm not sure if the Jeep could've looked any better the day it rolled off the assembly line. What a beautiful job you've done!!!
Loved the painting my dad’s RAF unit had their Jeep stolen in Belgium during the war so they just went out and stole someone else’s and re numbered it.
Many years ago in the shipyard we got lots of work done with coffee in trade.
@@theodoreolson8529 what was the work?
@@That_one_dude1234 Typically sheet metal work like a salad bar on the mess deck or miscellaneous supply lockers. This was on an SSN many years ago.
Oh ok
Nice rebuild! Another Willy’s saved. ❤😊 1:18
oh my gosh, two of the BEST helpers in the world, lucky man. looks fantastic. 👍
I have a -44 in "decent minus" shape in my garage. This made me so inspired to go fix it up. Grat work, dude! Greetings from Norway :)
Amazing! Great to see it start to finish in one go.
When I was in the Army we stenciled useing a shaving brush that had been given a "crew cut". No masking. You are doing a nice job.
Thanks! I knew going in my number/star application was more meticulous than anything the military usually does.
Nailed it. Great wrap up to a great series.
Excellent job done !!! Keep them rolling. To save valve seats use additive to the gasoline.
Absolutely astonishing work!
Absolutely beautiful outcome! Blown away by how brand new it looks.
Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing!
Great wrap up vid. The Jeep looks great! Thanks for keeping a peice of american history alive.
Burger actually looked bomb. Good work brother.
that top is really nice---good job
Well done!
Beautiful job!
great work, great skills!
You did a very nice job. I have a car from the enemy side that has to be restored. I started already but the way you did your car shows me to not to think to complicated about it. Mine will be field grey/ Feldgrau. Regards from the Battle of the Bulge area.
I DO NOT like manual cars,but I LOVE your work; perfect! Thank you .❤
Manual transmissions are a great theft deterrent.
МАСТЕРУ за суровую военную КРАСОТУ - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing video and restoration! Well done!!
Nice job done there 👍👍I hope you can enjoy it for years to come 😁
Never seen an enclosed metal cabin one before. very nice.
Красота в простоте. Это память о 2 мировой войне и к нам в бывший СССР приходили эти Виллисы МБ . Один такой Виллис был в качестве штатной машины у Маршала Советского Союза Г.К.Жукова и эти машины возили военачальников.
Already downloaded it to watch it over and over😊 i also started workin on mine😅
Awsome job 😎😎😎😎
Very nice, good job, congratulations
Awesome video of ALL the work you put into this project..
Thanks!
nice work dude. Great looking jeep by the end of it.
Awesome ❤
First, great work! Second, you just motivated me to get back on my project, thanks! Enjoy!
Nice!
Excellent. Well done.
My dad had a '52 with the hardtop and heater mounted between the hood and windscreen. It was a Canadian military version. Man did I love that thing.
That would have been an M38-CDN, manufactured by Ford. The M38, or MC, was the Korean War era successor to the MB, though there were so many MBs still available no M38s ever made it to Korea. I have a US Army M38 with an original Willys hardtop. No heater, nor signs of anything being mounted in front of the windscreen, but that would have been standard on a Canadian model. M38s were based on the CJ-3A but had a waterproof electrical system, a special carb with no accelerator pump but a dash mounted primer, and numerous exterior "spotting" differences that make it easy to differentiate from any other model from just about any angle.
@@jimmckim3565 I thought the Ford built ones had their logo on parts though? This one did not. That being said it was so much fun. I miss it.
@@michaelj7069 I don't know about logos on the parts. Willys didn't mark theirs (data plates only), and parts on my 1953 Ford F-100 don't have Ford markings like I see on my '97 F-150, where EVERYTHING seems to be marked. I had a '77 F-150 for awhile and don't remember seeing logos galore on it, but that was over 25 years ago and I didn't have it all that long. Don't know about the Ford-built GPWs for WWII, either. If you still had that puppy, it might be the rarest of the rare for Jeeps - the M38 had the smallest production numbers, and the CDN version only a small fraction of that.
@@jimmckim3565 sadly just before my dad passed away he sold it to his best friend then a year later his friend passed away. Sadly I have no idea where it is now. Probably best because it maybe cursed.
Great Video !
Thanks!
Try not to break any land speed records. Beautiful job.
The 40's jeep with a cab doesn't exist, it can't hurt you. The 40's jeep with a cab:
Good work 👍🏻.
Excellent History
I have a 43 Willy’s MB that my Dad gave me shortly before he died lil over 20 years ago. I am planning on getting it together next year finally. It won’t turn out as nice as yours, but should do pretty well. I’ve got spare engine, trans, xfercase, and assortment of other components. Running wise needs a carb rebuild and the rear axle needs a little love. One of the windshield panes was broken and the sad part- I had the same top as you do. The original doors were gone and someone made some out of galvanized sheet metal. But I didn’t have room to store the top so had to let go of it. There’s just nothing like a good ol flat fender. And you might notice my other toy in the pic to the left. I have to get it redone before the Willy’s. Need it for abuse so I can just put in the 43. Hope you enjoy yours!
잘 보고 있습니다. 감사합니다.
Thats wonderfull !! Really
Superb
Great job, but didn't ever see an enclosed metal cabin before when I was in the service, only the soft-top M151 versions, now Jeep Mail trucks, seen lots of those back in the day, Thank you,
Real nice! Only thing I would add is some zinc additive to the engine, new oils have very little.
Good point! I used Mobil One 15w-50 which actually has high zinc content sufficient for this type of engine.
big job👋👋👋👋💪
Great idea and build. Question… how do you do the bolt heads so they don’t get scratches from wrenches? Prime them all on cardboard, prime body, install parts, then top coat everything?
Craftsmen work hard
Top o canal.DEUS abrnçoe
Excellent, very impressed. Was the hard top an original issue, not see one before? Cheers Ian
Why arent you using self etching primer for the bare metal and not the red oxide
Wow!! Is that top original?
Any indication what nation or branch of arms this jeep served with?
congratuletion
Amazing! It looks great! The hard top is original or you made it?
This is an early cab enclosure manufactured by Pentagon in the early 1950’s. Been on this Jeep since the 1960’s.
بسیار عالی ❤
Que lindo.
was hoping to see the engine part
красавец
👍👍👍
Wowwwww!!!!
👍
It's better to send in for full sand blasting ...
I owned a 1956 ex Marine Corps MB3. I wish I had another one. Is that metal top original 1943 issue ?
He stated in reply to another comment that it's been fitted on it in the '60s. I snooped around, apparently it's called a "boston top", so if you happen to get your hands on another willys you can search one up if you want an hardtop
This top is what you’d see on a M38 from the early 50’s. It’s called a Pentagon Arctic Top.
@@AlsGarageRestorations Not quite, or necessarily. My 1952 M38 has an "Arctic" top (name was never used by Willys) manufactured by Willys (data plate riveted to inside post) and has the Army's numbers stenciled on the rear top, so it would have been in service. It's very similar to yours - at first I thought identical - but there are differences: single pane windshield with rounded corners (just like differences of standard folding windshield) that is gasketed in place (does yours fold out?), rear panel with window is fixed in place (I think - mine has been modified to open, but I've seen them fixed), and there are a lot more fasteners at the top and bottom edges of the side panels on yours than on mine. Interesting to see yours - from a distance I would have assumed it was the same as mine. Great job and video, BTW.
Very nicely done. I'd have preferred no music and twice the length. Watched from Nagaland, India.
👍👍👌👌
You know I'm still convinced that the USA still has hundreds of thousands of Specialist in their given field from science, technology to every given field of study and expertise. However alas, there still is a glimmer of hope she can overcome the present nationwide obstacle to becoming what she used to be.
Congratulations. This is a mail jeep?
No, the top and doors were added in the 1960’s and can be removed.
@@AlsGarageRestorations thank´s you.
No! The MB is the World War II "U.S. Army Truck, 1⁄4‑ton, 4×4, Command Reconnaissance", to use the official designation. Manufactured 1941-1945. The US Postal Service didn't start using Jeeps until 1953, and they were right-hand drive.
@@jimmckim3565 Thanks you.
Is this your jeep ? Or you made it for fee ? Nice work buddy.
I did this work for the owner for a fee. He has owned it since the late 50’s, so it was nice for him to get back behind the wheel again!
@@AlsGarageRestorations All the best.👍👍👍👍සුබ පැතුම්. From Sri Lanka
What is the color code? thanks!
I used Olive Drab 33070 from Ron Fitzpatrick Jeep parts.
How much?

... Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe
Thanks my friend . subscribe subscribe .
👍👍👍👍
This is crazy... why not sandblast the entire jeep. Using the grinder diminishes more metal than sand blasting.... just my personal experience. By the way, you can buy a brand new replica jeep in the Philippines. They still make this and even exports them all over the world to enthusiasts
It would be nice to see the finished car, but an ad (which are all, by design, impossible to watch) made the rest of the restoration impossible to watch. Well done with the car, anyway.
anoying time lapse. do slide show...................
Excelente trabajo, dedicación y amor. felicitaciones. @mysargewillys
Superb
