That's pretty cool!

Nice, creative idea for a subject. Very cool.

"Some assembly required." The original car in a create. Like the idea. 

[Jim B]

Very cool!

Great job on the Jeep and putting it in the crate is a super cool idea! Coloring outside the lines!

Thanks Guys!? You may have heard about the “Jeep in a crate” legend/scam?

I picked up the built jeep for $5. I’ve built one CJ-2A and didn’t want to go through all the work correcting this one too…so I took the easy way out. I had to scratch build the seats and the brake drums, and adapt the die cast tires from another project to some jeep rims. I spent more time on the crate than I did on the jeep.?

Very cool indeed!

Super project! I saved photos of a real one in the crate for years hoping to build this one day.  You beat me to it!  Glad someone built it!

Sweet! There’s probably more of them squirrelled away somewhere.?

You had me scratching my head with the first 2 pics. But that is a great build. Nice job!!

[carrucha]

Pretty neat!

[Mattilacken]

Nice build!

[Zippi]

Very kewl.  I remember watching a video years ago of the Army dropping those and the assembly.  The Jeepney's in Southeast Asia and elsewhere are probably some of what the Army dropped back in the day.

Looks like it is a good Box Stock entry for the next show. I like this idea.
