My credo
A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
1- I feel bad for the poor bastard who has to change a distributor cap or adjust points. I can hear it now....

"Oh itll take 5 minutes sir, we'll have this thing rollin in no time"

*pops hood*

"Shit".

2- I dont think a willys is going to last long if it hit a current.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
What a great Christmas Gift. I’ll give my friends buckets of asbestos clay.

I had never seen that procedure before.

Keep in mind, this was back when they thought asbestos was safe and it was the "miracle" material. It looks like it would be a huge PITA to who ever had to remove that crap after it was applied.

It was like that when I found it.
50 years from now people will look back at many thing we do today the same way we look back at asbestos and lead paint.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!

Smoking was still good for you back then.

some thoughts...

I wonder if anyone has come across this stuff on a WW2 era jeep that they have restored?

another thought... I wonder if those jeeps that made landing were ever recovered and brought back or scrapped after use.

Most Jeeps were scrapped in Europe, I saw a thing a farmer used surplus Jeep hoods mashed flat to roof his chicken house.

Postwar in the Pacific theator... a lot of them got pushed into the ocean.

I saw that episode on the surplus jeep hoods, and a bunch of post war photos of literally piles of Jeeps... this was why I was thinking that they were made as a disposable item to win the war. That video makes me sad btw...

Not really made to be disposable, aircraft were treated the same or worse.
