I got my granddads old 1943 Willys Jeep running. He gave it to me before he passed away about 15 years ago. My mom actually drove it to high school as her daily driver in the 60's. I had it running back in 2004 (before wife and kids) and was able to get it cranked again. Back then I added the seats, brakes, head lights, and a horn. It's amazing how well made these things are. It's been sitting in a warehouse since 2004 without being cranked. All I needed to do was charge the battery, change battery cables, new oil, and gas. My next goals are to take the roll cage off, add tail lights, and seat belts.
