Hi Keith
There are some other versions of the same or similar demonstrations, think it was even done as a competition between teams at the Edinburgh Tattoo in the past. Great bit of showmanship, thanks for sharing. But you are definitely right doing this with any CMP would require more guys, and they better really be in shape. Wasn't there a design standard building CMPs that all parts had to weigh at least 100 Lbs.? Cheers Phil

About 30 years ago the foremost vintage car club in Melbourne, The Vintage Drivers Club did a 4 minute build of a Model T Ford. The crew of 5 were well versed in the build and displayed it at quite a few venues over a 2 to 3 year period. It was very entertaining to watch.
I would like to see some different groups do a Jeep rebuild at the Corowa Swim-In the next time we have the 'Year of the Jeep' theme in a few years time. So there is a challenge, Men. Maybe a Victoria versus South Australia versus New South Wales versus Queensland Challenge. Regards Rick.

In the late 1950s or early 1960s I watched the PNE parade in Vancouver, BC. A military crew would stop their Jeep and take it apart and carry the pieces a few blocks and reassemble it. Then they'd drive it a few blocks and do it all over again. That parade route was a few miles long so I have no idea how many times this was repeated. It sure was interesting!
