Default Willys MB and Ford GPW
Out of curiosity. Who is restoring a MB or GPW in Ontario? I am finally going to get started on my 1942 Willys MB and am planning on bending up a some parts.

I have some that are already bent.

I have a 1/2 done M.B. (135668 on dash plate) that will get some attention,one day, when my carrier is finished.
My apologies for my cheeky moment.

Which panels did you bend up? I'm looking at fuel sump drawings for the next one. Any suggestions or tips when I am bending? I am using 18 ga for it.

Default MB's
I'll be starting on one of mine this summer, I have two a slat and a pressed grill kind of hanging out. I may need some bits. I'm down in Woodstock so not far away at all.

Well that went down like a lead balloon!
Jason, I was making a joke reading "bent" as damaged. Local humour I guess.

LOL. I took it as you were teasing me about having some made already and being on the other side of the world.
