The line that reads "about 95% of the parts are original" is incorrect. The right information is as follows: The Jeep retains by (volume, quantity, whatever) about 30 percent of the original 1949 depot rebuild parts. There is a mixture of Ford and Willys parts, as was the norm in period rebuilds. The remainder of the vehicle is made up of new parts, NOS parts, period French depot rebuild parts and the like. However, the original description of the work that was done is accurate. Looks like he 'fessed up. :-) -- FRH |
