That is awesome.  Now all we need is Hawkeye and Duke to "borrow" it like in the M.A.S.H movie.

Maybe after we get out of the messes we are in now you can pick up a Humvee in a crate for $500.

My uncle has a 1946 Willy's with a Corvette ZR1 crate motor. I forwarded him this link. He will enjoy it I think ;)

Always wanted a jeep and that would be great to have. I saw a movie a while back that showed how quick and easy one of these could be assembled from the crate by two GI's. Pretty amazing. Don
