Hi Mitchell,
Nice work

what do you use for paint? i like the color

I used that semi-gloss olive drab stuff from willys acres. This is my first restoration and it's pretty addicting and i'm only 20 years old. i see a few more military vehicles in my future

It appears to be a Cdn 2, but is that one of the old 25 amp generators on it? Or is it a 100 amp conversion? I've never seen anything but the standard 60 amp alternator on these.

Nice clean jeep. Frame up really is the way to go.

It says it is a 25 amp generator on the tag. The data plate on the tub says it is an m38a1 cdn3 but from what i understand didn't the cdn3's have an alternator? There is a tag saying the engine was rebuilt in around 1984 or about there in Quebec so maybe the engine was swapped??

maybe someone can enlighten me?

Hi Mitchell,
If you jeep is a CDN3 you will have to paint it flat green with camouflage patt on it to be more has the original.
