Military-Vehicles: [MV] MB/GPW Wanted

[MV] MB/GPW Wanted

Hi List,
My father has decided he'd like another jeep, to keep the first one
company, so I thought I'd pass the request on to all of you as we start the
process over again. We have 2 ways to go and which way determines what I'm
looking for:
Option 1 - Ground up restoration of the '43 GPW next to the barn. Tub would
need front floor, gas tank well, bottom of sides and maybe a rear panel. Not
sure about the fenders until after sandblasting. Chassis is no problem and
all safety stuff would be new (wiring, brakes, etc.) so only the sheetmetal
is a problem (as always).

Option 2 - Buy an MB or GPW, as complete & original as possible, in better
shape and finish as/if needed. Everything from unrestored to completely
restored/refurbished considered. (This option gets my vote)

So if you have/know of an original tub, fenders or other sheetmetal (how much
are panels these days Darryl?) for option 1 or a jeep for option 2 please let
me know. Location of continental US unless you know how to get it through
customs etc.. Trade (whole or partial) can include a WC23, WC12/13 and even
the GPW and/or jeep parts if that's appealing to anyone. Please let me know.

Thanks,
