m38mike's Green Jeanne

Green Jeanne is a 1951 Willys M38 I found while trolling the internet.
Several different individuals had over many years started to do some restoration work, but time and weather were taking their toll.
I traveled to Oswego, IL, in Nov 2006, and picked up the jeep in pieces and parts, and a stack of manuals and magazines, as well as a brand new wiring harness.
The picture on the right is Green Jeanne after my high school buddy Mike and I brought her to his house.
The majority of the jeep is original, but the engine and exhaust system have been replaced with CJ block and exhaust.
The Green Jeanne currently lies scattered in the "Taj-ma-garage", awaiting further disassembly and inventory of missing items.
The hunt has begun to acquire originals of the missing pieces and some replacement pieces.
eBay is great source of parts, and well as a place for price comparison.
And of course, there is always the need for new tools and equipment.
I was able to borrow a sand blaster and acquired an air compressor, as the entire jeep needs to be sanded and reprimed.
Mar 2007 found me traveling to Mississippi to acquire a new engine and axles.
Aug 2007 I dragged Ellen through 100 degree heat to El Paso, TX, to pick up my spare parts jeep and more spare parts.
This project is currently on the back burner while I work on Kate's Karriage and Electro-Willys.
