Thanks. Someday I'll restore the CJ-3A and do a full-blown before
and after write up page. I have three boys (the oldest is 6).
Once they get older, it will be a great project for all of us.

It'll be a great project for you guys. I had my daughter (12) help me pull
the entire dashboard out of the minivan over the New Year's weekend. My wife
was complaining that the heater blew cold, and while blowing water through
the heater core in an attempt to clean it out, one of the inlet/outlet tubes
broke off. I had to pull the dashboard to get to the heater core, and my
daughter was very helpful with doing much of the work. She enjoyed it, and I
did as well. I am sure you and your boys will look forward to spending days
and evenings working on your project.
