1953 M38A1 Navy Jeep

A Frame Off Restoration

The restoration project was divided into phases. During Phase I we tore down the jeep all the way to the frame. In Phase II we restored or replaced the parts. Phase III was the reassembly processes and Phase IV is the maintenance stage. Phase II and III took place at times simultaneously. A part was cleaned, repaired or replaced and then installed. Phase IV maintenance. Phase V the joy of driving the jeep and sharing it with others.
