Great video. I have a 42 slat also. Been in the family since 10 /46. My great uncle bought it with a 44 Batam trailer. I almost sold both before I knew what I had. At first I thought the slat grille was a replacement that some body cheaply replaced. I have had it since 1975 my grand parents gave it to me. And the trailer. I drove it in college. I am now 70 and I have it in my shop going through a major frame off restro including new floors. Great project in my retirement. Keep up the good work.
Nice video, great to have a wonderful connection with your family. I have a 42 gpw that we had so much fun with on my father-in-laws farm. My children are now in their late forty and early fiftys, and they still talk about it. I use it to plow snow and fetch fire wood here in Vermont. Mine doesn't look as nice as yours, but always puts a smile on my face when I use it. Be well Warren in Vermont.
Awesome video! I love how you brought it back without disturbing your family modifications. I did a similar thing with my 1943 GPW. I do the static displays and parades, but it’s most fun just driving the dirt roads and trails. Spot on!
My 44 Willys mb had the rear fenders reshape by a chubby owner but your is a bit neater than mine ,it was cut and welded and reshaped with a large hammer ,I’m going to replace both of them with new ones. I’ve enjoyed your rebuild videos thanks from Scotland
Greetings! Those rear fenders and driving position was certainly meant for smaller drivers when they were first produced. I can see why many made the adjustment. Good luck with your repairs!
Greetings from Northern Ireland...really enjoyed this video. I recently bought a Hotchkiss M201 Jeep. Hoping to get it home from England in August after some WW2 adaptions. Know very little about Jeeps so found this a great insight. Many thanks...Mike
