JoJo- 1957 Panel Wagon

I like how you do your projects.... get it together, with only essential upgrades... no wasting time on rebuilding (painting) every little detail which can just draw a project out for years.... You get it done and enjoy it for what it is. (y)
Thanks man!

I just love the look of original, weathered cars. It doesn’t look like it should run, but it does. When I’m dead, someone else can do a full restore. This one is taking a bit longer, I’m working on my Model A project at the same time. 😂
 
Little more work this weekend, water pump, alternator, fuel lines, fuel tank and some electrical work. I love flaring a good fuel line…

I don't flare lines anymore, it got too expensive

let's see, I need a 3' section flared on both ends a couple of bends... 30' of line should do it lol
 
New shoes for this bitch. I went with something new rather than old school. My FC and M38A1 slide all over the road. I plan to DD this one more. The green rims are original to the jeep far as I can tell.(passenger side). It came with all 4, but 2 we’re trashed. As luck would have it, I had two spares laying around. No idea from which pile..

Great looking alternative to the old school type tire. Tread pattern and size look appropriate for the vintage
