Wayward Jeep
by heepey Fri 29 Apr 2016, 5:22 am
This build is inspired by a humorous, short story by Bill Mauldin from the July 27, 1953 Saturday Evening Post called The Affair of the Wayward Jeep. The General's Jeep gets a flathead V-8. Started with an AMT WWII Jeep kit.

How cool! Never saw a flathead 8 in a Jeep before. Excellent!

The flathead tucks in there very nicely, Dan.

The tires look good, that flathead looks right at home. Nice work.

That's looking good Dan. Love the rusty engine.
Now you need to rust out the body a little.

According to the story, the engine was rusty but the Jeep was new. The general requires his Jeep to be kept clean.
