Rob,
You're on to me! The project jeep IS an MZ-2. It came with Army
Dataplates & is registered with the numbers. Check out my webpage on it &
you'll see how far gone it was.
http://www.hardscrabblefarm.com/car_club/car_club.htm We're not losing much
by my converting it to Army. Heck even the tub had the sides & back
replace already, CJ-2A engine, non-original grill, hood & windshield when I
got it.
Later,
Brian
