I have a question for the group...
I hope you help me take a decision
few weeks ago, I've found a GPW, a Ford script, s/n 32922 Dod 6.4.42
body needs a lot of work, but still seems restorable; data plates are still on.
I took her in a new home...than started to analize the whole matter.
as I said, body has usual defects (floors, toolboxes)
I tought, when I buyed it, that frame could still be usable, but when back
home I found it beyond repair.
it doesn't match with the body, it has an earlier s/n, probably 8xxx.
engine (still serviceable) is a willys.
then, I've found another GPW...s/n 186225, Dod 2.29.44
is a 44 composite; body (with data plates), engine and frame match.
frame is quite good, engine could be repaired, but body is the worst I ever
seen ...and couldn't be repaired ;-((
so, the question..
what do you think on a restoration with a '44 frame+engine, and a '42
"script" body ??
in this case, I can think of a full '42 project, because I really think
that best thing is to save that body,and that full project will have best
value with this kind of assett.
ciao
maurizio
