Great job. I wish I could see and handle all the small PE bits. I've built a few of these over the years and it is a fun kit.

The bolts on the side and rear corner grab handles are not level, they are offset on the mounting tabs. Inside the front bumper, between the frame rails, is an oak beam to add some strength. It is held in place by the inner bumper bolts on each side. The bumpers are not very strong and bend easier than a car bumper of the era.

The hole in the front bumper should not be covered up. It is for the hand crank to start the engine. The wire cutter is often re-enforced with a piece of angle iron flattened at the end with a hole drilled through and bolted to the front cross member. The other end was welded or bolted to the wire cutter.

The steering wheel on the WWII Jeeps was a metal spoke with an early plastic covering. The plastic was an olive green, so worn off paint will show that color.

Hi,

Looking good.

Thats not the road to Amblève!!

Good looking jeep, keep it up, the PE is adding much.

How are you going to paint the chains on the tires?

Thanks,
Bryan
