I addition to that Mike, I really got to thinking last night... We need to get a Canadian MUTT Registry going. I'd love to see just how many are out there being collected, and get that information compiled somewhere.

On another positive note, the project yard stick moved ahead some more today. My MUTT is now Legally mine and Insured. I walked away from the DMV today with my spanky new Registration Green Slip (Unfit until I get it Safety Inspected), and to add icing to the cake, my Insurance Company didn't even skip a beat giving me a policy for my "1979, American Motors Corporation, Jeep, 2 Dr, Open Top" Don't ask.. But at least its in the system now

After it gets a full restoration, i'll look into an Appraisal, more specific Insurance Coverage and some Veteran Plates for it.

This afternoon I was able to get a good portion of the Uniframe repaired. I'm starting to see the finish line in the welding now. No pics, forgot the camera again.

Rob, ya, point taken on the US/UK Open Fire Policy. My first Blackhawk ride I was kinda surprised at the manner that they test fired their Door Guns

copy that regards registry...i have a few names to add if interested. also, if you check out ebay.com military vehicles, you will notice a surplus dealer, located in st. andrews, ont, who is auctioning off an uncut m151a2 body and many parts of same. current price of the body is 2500.00cad....

I'll look around for a good medium to start gathing some info. I'm thinking some kind of "Fill in the Blanks" webpage might be the best bet. The caveat being that they were to have been Canadian originals.

I'm familiar with the Ebay seller. I visited him a while back in July when I was looking for a Body Donor. Unfortunately he wasn't selling individual Tubs back then, only the entire lot of MUTT stuff, which was way out of my price range and storage capability. On a side note, i've seen and touched all of his MUTT Tubs, and with the exception of one very nice one, it was actually significantly easier to repair my demilled Alberta MUTT than it would have been to repair the rust and damage from careless handling on his "Uncut" Tubs. Kind of brings up the age old question of Cut vs Uncut....
