I've owned a 51 Chevy and a 49 Hudson... I sure wish I still had the Hudson... what a beauty. Now I own a 51 M38. It's an army jeep. I've read military history since I was a kid and I'm still a kid... so it is no surprise that I like army stuff. So I have this jeep. I had to do a major on frame restoration to get it to this point... and I'm not done yet. I've won a number of trophies at local car shows. The thing is... people get all bent out of shape when they see the display weapons. All non-firing period replicas I use to paint a historical picture for those interested. This was only a problem after Waco and the Federal Building when Clinton scared the shit out of The American people making them think the every white guy in camo was out to kill them. Folks are such sheep. Every one that I have ever met who reenactes or does vehicle restoration are just out for the education aspect... to further their education of their collecting niche or to educate the public about certain historical events... and because it is fun... that's it... not because we want to take down the government. We collect this stuff, like you collect whatever it is that you collect. Jesus... So this hobby gets the crazy artist vote... because YOU have problems... You see... this whole website is an exercise of challenging your misperceptions as well as my own.
