It is a heavily modified WW2 Willys MB or Ford GPW. Definitely isn’t an M151

TAKerry, my old jeeps have become famous in the neighborhood when I light one up in the winter and call it the jingle jeep so I’d encourage you to do it. -
HELP! Save a Canadian Model A 'AR' Roadster Barn Find
Tate replied to Scott Bonesteel's topic in General Discussion
I should give them the benefit of the doubt but I sure wonder if it will ever be in one piece again -
It’s super impressive you can just toss some metal on the machine and just whip up some screws. Great work!

HELP! Save a Canadian Model A 'AR' Roadster Barn Find
Tate replied to Scott Bonesteel's topic in General Discussion
I had this happen once with a bunch of vintage brass gasoline pump handles. The lady wanted a full retail on each and everyone and said she’d scrap them if we wouldn’t pay her price. I am still puzzled by that mindset, needless to say I passed. What I see in the video is just total lack of knowledge. I’m sure that almost anyone on this forum would have put oil in the cylinders and done general clean up and prep along with chasing wires and replacing some to hopefully make it possible to run. Instead they play it the car and put different wheels on it that would make it harder to push around while working on it. They remind me of many who naively buy a car and in a matter of weeks have torn everything thing apart and accomplished nothing. -
Excellent travel log! I like all the old buildings you’ve seen along the way

The Car Which Shall Not Be Named III (1935 Lincoln K)
Tate replied to Matt Harwood's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
We all really want to see you get it going and have the car pay you back for all the frustration by being a sweet runner. But if you are really that tired then maybe you ought to put it on the back burner for awhile, this hobby is supposed to be fun so if you really just dread it maybe a short break is in order. I think we’ve all been there. Whatever happens we are rooting for you -

Get the gear switched around and get it running, I’m here just waiting for the update haha -
My 1960 Buick LeSabre 2 Door Hardtop
Tate replied to TexRiv_63's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I would recommend Hankook optimos, my brother has a set on a 64 Thunderbird and they are excellent. They come with a 70k mile warranty and around here are about a 100 a tire. They aren’t super period correct looking but have a little white stripe and at least mostly look the part. -

What a fun update! It looks great -
“Due to the ongoing pandemic” or “During these uncertain times” have become dare I say popular excuses for lacking services with no relation at all to Covid. What are people going to do someday when they can’t use it as an excuse any more.

Nasty, hope you have a quick recovery

Perhaps you do as Cadillac Fan suggested and buy this https://www.ebay.com/itm/1935-Lincoln-V-12-Engine-Running-Driving-Previously-Rebuilt-Condition-/363292696580?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Not cheap but certainly something to consider while you work on the other engine. We’d all hate to see you give in but if it’s what you feel you must do then that just how it is. -

Tate replied to Matt Harwood's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I don’t have near as much experience as so many others who will likely comment so if I’m wrong thats my excuse, but with that in mind I wouldn’t mess with it. If you greased it well enough (which you did) it will be just fine forever and I think messing with it could do more damage than good. Keep the updates coming -
We have a 1948 Chrysler Traveller/ Windsor that is in need of a fuel pump and I am wondering if anyone has had any luck in finding one at a local parts house. If so what part number or vehicle was it listed under? Thanks.

This is kind of off topic but hearing this about Mass sure makes me glad to live in Utah, here you sign up for vintage vehicle plates or even standard issue plates and they just take your money and give you plates. Even getting a title is pretty easy.

I love flatfender jeeps, usually I prefer that people keep the original body when they restore them but I really wouldn’t blame you if you replaced that tub. What engine is in it? F134?
-
I almost wonder if that engine was run with oil that was lacking in zinc. But that’s just a guess

What are you working on right now?
Tate replied to Jeff Perkins / Mn's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
What a weird looking thing. Nice work -
I feel your pain, I collect early jeeps and often just when you think you’ve gotten all the problems resolved more seem to roll in like oranges. I have no doubt with all the ingenuity and skill you’ve shown that you’ll be cruising around in no time.

Repair shops that have done exactly what we don't want.
Tate replied to Hubert_25-25's topic in General Discussion
This is a shame but definitely not too far gone to be repaired. My father has collected plates for decades and I for at least a decade. There are a few professionals in the business who we have had redo ultra rare plates and have not let us down. If you are interested I can give you his contact -
