Re: WC-26 Carryall Restoration
Outstanding work and paint, Phil. On mine, I can't wait, have to drive it. Drove it in Veterans Day Parade in Montgomery Alabama last year and was a big hit. Blew the gasket between exhaust and intake manifolds. Good luck. Talk to you later on the body.

Thanks guys, hope to get the doors back from the sandblaster next week. After I cut the floor mat and build the dash it will go back on the frame. Phil H

Hi Phil, Nice to meet you and your nephew at Topeka. You bought the fire extinguisher bracket from me. Love the rotisserie! What type of mechanicals did you use for the spinning mechanism/ crank?........Thanks, John

Re: WC-26 Carryall Restoration
John, Topkea was great fun, spent far tooo much money on parts......the rotisserie is GI issue found it in a junk yard and paid $50. for it. I have been told two different things on what the government used it for.
>rebuild large motors
>install rust out kits on M-151 Jeeps.
I don't know but it works great for Dodges

Re: WC-26 Carryall Restoration
Good. I would like to do the same. When I come up to get the body I can take some closeups to use when I rebuild the roof of mine.
Thanks
Thanks
