Got it sequestered away in the back of my place now. Quite a bit of metal work to be done on this one. Good thing Curfman is into that kind of thing.
I suspect once we are done, this one is structurally going to resemble the zombie like husk of Mutt body being used to conceal an entirely newly build Chenowith rail buggy style frame.
Top was crap. it was just a standard top that was so sun struck it crumbled when molested. It got binned.
Doors were equally crap but the frames were good. NOS door skins abound, it's the frames that are tough so that part of the fight is won already.
Side curtains had jacked up window but were otherwise serviceable. Cam had mentioned that the best solution for windows is to edge the window holes with Velcro so you can quickly replace (or remove) them. This looks like a good one to try that out on.
Seats were ok, actually has a standard M151A2 back seat which Curfman will likely eventually come off of for the guys who have normal A2s and no back seats for them. Although he does have a set of rear seat brackets, this on is an A1 family vehicle and would take an A1 seat anyhow. Ambulances don't have back seats anyhow. The ambulatory patients sit on a troop seat on the left side and the litter patients go on the right.
For reasons not particularly clear to me, this needed to get dropped at my house. Sean and I had literally JUST gotten done getting my mutt and Staggs mutt in place and settled down secure in the fact that everything was in place when we got the news.
We ended up cooter bobbing a system with the medium tow bar and zip ties that allowed us to move it up the hill to the back yard with my mutt. It was... odd...
The neighbor lady came out and said "now I know you've lost it! What are you going to do with half of a car?
We explained that is is all perfectly normal, why the other half is just over there you see!
Still not as weird as my initial plan to just stick the front half in 4wd, squirt fuel in the carb, start it up and drive it up.
Picture time:



Run Curfman run!

Ooops! How many zip ties does it take to cart 1/2 a mutt up a hill? More than 4 per side anyhow!

Well since that didn't work, I say we just try exactly the same thing again.

Finally got it tugged over the crest and were able to rickshaw it into position from there.
