DCook, I noticed you have fender flares on front and back wheel openings. My question to you is did you drill any holes to mount them?

I posted a blog some months ago about flat fender flares that do not require holes to be drilled in the sheet metal, both front and rear.

I think it is a great idea for those that want to preserve the original sheet metal without chancing rust where you drill holes. Th other advantage is for a stock or original 'jeep' show they are very easliy removed.

I am trying to remember where I got these fender flairs from. I bought them about 8 years ago, & recently installed them. They are riveted on so only require a small hole. I have done sooo much welding on this tub, that I am not against welding the holes shut in the future should I not want them there. In Durango Colorado rust is not a problem, but I drilled and fitted the rivets, then painted the holes before installation.
Sorry guys, I had problems getting my pictures on the site, and this is the only one that apparently uploaded. I will re-post a few more.

DCook, I still am having a hell of a time putting pictures on this site. Even the Photoshop is giving me issues.
Why can't it be easier?

Regarding the flares, I just think that not drilling holes, mpainting the holes, not being able to remove the flares is an issue. So being an ex-mechanical designer I love to find better ways to do stuff to our 54' highood without a lot of defomation.

We live up here in Spokane and our climate is also very dry and little salt on the roads. I do not use the highood much in the winter, but if putting flares on a flat fender is something you need or would like to do, it can be done without holes in the sheet metal. I will break out the 1968 CJ-5 instead.

Your jeep looks great!

Yup, it's very hard to post pictures on this site. I have mine on flickr and I have to use a trick to get them to post because of the flickr rules. Once you get the hang of it it's not bad. I wonder if photobucket is easier?

The M38-A1 is an all original 1954 Army Jeep. It has 8800 original miles, and everything is as it was built. Tires, stincils, lights, 24 volt sealed electrical, seat covers, etc. It has no rust or wear. It was obtained surplus by Mineral county in Creed Colorado, for Civil Defense. It was stored inside the mountain north of town. Creed is a mining town, and the locals built their fire house by mining a tunnel out of a rock face. The jeep was in there for 30 or so years, until they needed to make the tunnel larger for bigger fire trucks. They moved it to a county shed. I worked on the county for 5 years to sell it. Finally they had a sealed bid auction, and I was high bidder. I have driven it in only one parade. Just after 9-11 Durango had it first Vetrans Day parade in many years. I loaded it full of vetrans who drove it.

I wonder if photobucket is easier?

I find Photobucket to be extremely easy. I open two tabs, roll the curser over the picture on photobucket and it gives me the links I need. Simply click on the correct one and it automatically copies the link for you. Switch to the forum tab and paste the link where you want it.

Very easy when you have the hang of it, of course getting the hang of it will be the tricky part.

Your 3B is going to be a fine ride when completed, no two ways about it.

The second 3B I owned and restored back in about '95 or so, a '53 model, was set up like yours and most enjoyable to drive. I have regretted to this very day ever trading it off to a fellow in northern CA for a vintage Chevy pickup that just sat here under a shed for fifteen years; (I had good intentions for the truck, but never got around to doing anything to it).

Sweet looking 38A1 you have also and it appears to be in as nice a condition as my '52 M38. Are you an MVPA member, and if not, would you like to be one as I can handle that for you in a heartbeat! You mentioned that the local FD is a carved out mine in the side of a mountain; as a retired firefighter/fire chief/fire marshal of 43 plus years, I'd love to see some photos of the station if you ever have a chance to snap some and post them.

I live in Durango Colorado, near Four Corners. Creed CO. is about 3 hours North and East of me, straight North of South Fork, CO. I had some pictures of the fire house portal from when I picked up the jeep in 2001. I can not find these pictures now #@@#$%$. If I run accross them I'll get them to you. They also had a 1929 ladder truck ( I think it was ) inside the mountain. Great place to store vintage iron!

Sorry Larry, I forgot to answer your question on MVPA. Yes I would like to re-start a membership! I was a member in the early 2000's but have not restarted it after returning from working overseas. I also have a 1942 Chevy 1 1/2 ton dump truck. It was also Army, bought surplus after WWII, and driven from Alaska to Durango in the early 50's. I have it about 75% restored. Running gear is brand new.

E-mail me direct at candy3505@comcast.net and I'll reply back with a new app and and my MVPA# that you'll need to re-apply; we'll be most happy to have you back on board.

I too have other MV's, a museum quality restored '51 Dodge M37 3/4 ton weapons carrier, (however it's sitting out in the shop currently with a broken timing chain), and two MV jeep trailers; (I should revise my signature line below as I've sold the '44 WWII Willys MB and its trailer). I hate admitting it, but yes, one can end up at an older age with just too dang many vintage vehicles, and as I also collect and restore vintage farm tractors (14 of 'em out back) and implements, and another old Chevy pickup, some simply had/have to go, ha!
