1- I feel bad for the poor bastard who has to change a distributor cap or adjust points. I can hear it now....

"Oh itll take 5 minutes sir, we'll have this thing rollin in no time"

*pops hood*

"Shit".

2- I dont think a willys is going to last long if it hit a current.

What a great Christmas Gift. I’ll give my friends buckets of asbestos clay.

I had never seen that procedure before.

Keep in mind, this was back when they thought asbestos was safe and it was the "miracle" material. It looks like it would be a huge PITA to who ever had to remove that crap after it was applied.

50 years from now people will look back at many thing we do today the same way we look back at asbestos and lead paint.

Smoking was still good for you back then.

some thoughts...

I wonder if anyone has come across this stuff on a WW2 era jeep that they have restored?

another thought... I wonder if those jeeps that made landing were ever recovered and brought back or scrapped after use.

Most Jeeps were scrapped in Europe, I saw a thing a farmer used surplus Jeep hoods mashed flat to roof his chicken house.

Postwar in the Pacific theator... a lot of them got pushed into the ocean.

I saw that episode on the surplus jeep hoods, and a bunch of post war photos of literally piles of Jeeps... this was why I was thinking that they were made as a disposable item to win the war. That video makes me sad btw...

Not really made to be disposable, aircraft were treated the same or worse.
