Your detailed video is still my most valuable reference tool for identifying individual parts (especially USMC variations) on my M38A1 restoration. Thanks for sharing this!
Well done gentlemen, it was nice to see the boys develop over the two years. There is nothing better than a father and sons team. Thanks for sharing, I own a 1952 M38.
Always wanted to look a 50’s M38A1 over to see what different. I’ll bet it’s not much. Kids have worked on the 68 Corvette, the M38A2, 78 Camaro, and now the 60 Chevy Apache. They enjoy it and so do I. Thanks for the comment
Hello Americans! I'm in Brazil- see what I bought from the Brazilian Army! youtube: Motor home relic of war. Em português: Motor Home relíquia de guerra
Hermosa restauración, el Jeep quedó mejor que cuando salió de la fábrica, trabajaron con mucho amor, lástima que debieron bajar el motor para repararlo de nuevo. Yo tengo un M38 A1 de 1961 el cual compré hace poco más de un año, pero enfermé de Covid19 y gasté el dinero ahorrado para restaurarlo, por lo pronto le estoy haciendo algunas reparaciones menores, hasta que pueda restaurarlo como el de ustedes, reciban un fuerte abrazo desde Venezuela, América del Sur.

Beautiful Jeep! You did a really nice on it, I’m about half done with mine. I enjoyed seeing it run, and drive too, those were neat. Is that a brand new voltage regulator you used?
You have the last of the last and I have the first of the first. mine is dated November 1952 and was delivered to Fort Ord California where it was in service until 1994 it was surpluses out on 1996 and I've had it since 2000 and I have put countless miles on it since then. I took it for a spin today to get gas and lunch. I can't say mine is as nice as yours but i maintain it as a survivor vehicle.
Thank you for letting it see the light of day. It brings me joy to see these old cars out and running today. Its a piece of history that deserves to be admired.
Great job on the rebuild and video! About to start same project and want to include grandkids in project as you did. Wow, kiddos that don't mind getting their hands dirty and can drive a standard! Impressive!
@@pfrost4011 That too :) Mine is painted Sahara Beige...and that makes it kinda more on the cute than on the cool side ;) You guys did a damn good job on restoring yours. All thumbs up. Amazing work.
great job on this video, great job on this jeep!! I am going after a 52 M38A1 with what I think is original duals. it is a very tiny bit better that you began with. it runs :P
I am starting this project and have no idea how to start it. Can you help me out on how to get the knowledge to do this? I live in Butler Pa and hate that I have no idea???? We can swap emails if needed.
Fantastic job gentlemen. I've got. 63 I'm just getting started on. Inspiring!! I think it's great to have the kids and grandkids involved. The memories will last a lifetime. God bless. And Merry Christmas.
@@pfrost4011 unfortunately, I’ve had to deal with my parent’s estate. My mom and dad have both passed away and it’s extremely complicated. I’m hoping to get started in a couple of months.
Great job, I owned a 51 M38A1 that I bought out of a farm field in 1985. It still had the OD paint on it with a big white five point star centered on the hood. Maybe the Jarheads did not have that. BTW, I use the term Jarhead with great respect as my oldest grandson is one and in Viet Nam they called themselves that. dbg
The Jeep surprised me how sterile the markings were. Except for a sticker at the gas fill neck that I couldn’t find, it went back the way it was. As I recall the Marines didn’t even wear name tags on their duty uniforms until the mid 90s..
Wish I could of done a detailed restoration like this to my YJ, but unfortunately I’m only a broke college student :/. What state do you guys live in? It’s gorgeous the neighborhood and amount of room you guys have! I’m stuck here in NYC with next to nothing lol
South of the Mason-Dixon Line . I have it registered but I could drive anywhere around here without it. I’d guess you’d get busted there before your 3rd stop sign. Got pictures of your project, send a couple?
Awesome rebuild. I enjoyed your video and the music was excellent. My 58 willy's was in about the same shape. Maybe even a bit better then yours. Well done. You climbed a tall mountain with this project. Great to see the boy's enjoying the journey with you. Take care!!
Thanks. It Was more about the project than the investment. We gave that Jeep 50 more years of life and the kids got the spark of appreciating classic machines. See our other videos
No. Good thought though.. I only ran what you see in the video. I think what happened is I didn’t get the head decked when it was off. Took my chances and lost. I got it decked before I put it back on this time..
I was in A 3/187th, 101st standing in the Day room when the Grenada invasion went public. It was a good mission and 2/505 done a great job. Thank you for your service.

Semper Fi! Very nicely done! Ooh Rah! Gotta love that Marine Corp green, even with the Patton theme music!
Very neat, I have a 1952 model awaiting the same treatment! You did a great job!
Thanks. It was hard work but had a good time doing it
Great job me and brother is restoring our 53 jeep right now
Fantastic outcome. I hope that our two can even begin to look and function that well.
Thanks,

What a great project to do with your kids. I wish I had the mechanical talent to do something like that.
Nice, Have been driving a Dutch Licencebuild one for the past 25 years, and restored many militairy vehicles with some friends in the past.

Yea. The original worked about 2 days. It was money well spent. Nice to not have battery trouble

Felicidades gran trabajo
Can u please tell me ...where should I buy m38 ....I'm from india
J'adore cette musique, très bien adaptée à cette vidéo ! Tout cela ressemble au "rêve" américain, mais ce n'est qu'un rêve !
Amazing that a machine made for war purposes can look so cute.
Thanks. Not cute, “Cool”

@@marky4x429 I saw a beige M38AI on a TH-cam video from Germany. Is that yours?
great job on this video, great job on this jeep!! I am going after a 52 M38A1 with what I think is original duals. it is a very tiny bit better that you began with. it runs :P
Thanks, we enjoyed the work and have about wore it out again already driving it
Commendable job by passionate guys..
I hope it will be in your family for many generations. Thanks for saving it.
Thanks for the comment. I have 3 kids and they’ve already said I can’t get rid of it.
AAA
I’m in need of some most excellent coverage of replacing the battery box. Might you have footage of such?
LOVE the video. I have a 53 m38A1. Thanks for the inspiration

outstanding red team, get ya a case of beer for that one! SGT. Terry
Como parece ser fácil restará um M38A1 pra nós aqui no Brasil é muito difícil 😔😔
Fantastic job gentlemen. I've got. 63 I'm just getting started on. Inspiring!! I think it's great to have the kids and grandkids involved. The memories will last a lifetime. God bless. And Merry Christmas.
Thanks. It was hard work but we stayed with it
Got any updates the 63 M38A1?

Very, very nice on all levels! (Wondering if running the engine without coolant while it was off the Jeep led to the blown head gasket?)
No. Good thought though.. I only ran what you see in the video. I think what happened is I didn’t get the head decked when it was off. Took my chances and lost. I got it decked before I put it back on this time..
Looks good! Slowly doing a '47 CJ2A, myself. AATW! C 307 En
You were 307th ENG? Cool, Had friends there
Beautyful job. I'm interested in the Paint color reference Code used on this jeep
It shows the can in the video. I don’t know if it’s exactly right but it was a USMC special order Jeep so probably is correct color
Nice bro 👌
Well done nice job ,I have M38A1C love this jeep.
Thanks I saw a really nice A1C in the Dragon Man Museum in Colorado Springs CO a couple weeks ago
Great restoration !! thanks for this post.

Oh we do. Im his oldest son. He yells at us every time we do haha. We have had it up to the gas tank in water. We clean it off after every run though.
Excellent gentlemen
What do you think about the background music? A bit much or about right?
@@pfrost4011 I recognized it from the great escape, if you had some of the sounds and talking from the build that would be great
@@anderslind8422 Patton. One of the greatest movies ever made
Music is not necessary plz
I’ll bet you didn’t see the movie.
