As a Jeep hobbyist, my interests lie in the early civilian jeep development. Over the years, I have been rather fortunate enough to track down some of the rare early prototype or test jeeps.
I want to restore these as accurately as possible with period parts. I have quite a list of parts I need for the above vehicles. If you can help out, please let me know!
Jeep Documents - One of the things I have been kicking around is a site on the Internet that can act as a repository for original source documents. I haven't decided on the format yet, but I threw something together to get some other people's ideas:
My other interests include Willys-Overland the company and items related to the factory up to the AMC time period. I am always looking for factory related relics and dealer related items. I am basically looking for anything related to the factory. I have been collecting some of the little stuff that people didn't think of saving that would have been used at the factory. Anything from factory forms for ordering items to old paycheck stubs, to notebooks, etc., etc. A lot of that kind of stuff gets dispersed and what I am trying to do is put together all the different things into a database. It gives a better picture of the working life of the factory. If anyone has anything like this, please let me know.
