Thanks to Rommel and crew for giving our Big Kahuna Emeritus the welcome he deserves! :tea:

 

X2 And thanks to you Sparky for taking the time to visit . You are the man !!

 

X3. Thanks for making time for one of our top Men.

 

Hey That's not all! (sorry I fell asleep)

We then proceed to the meeting room to chat



where we did a little presentation about the company. (specially made for Sparky)



And then proceeded to the plant tour!




Here we are with our biggest Hydraulic Press! Our own Big Kahuna! I call him Sonny Boy (after my Dad)



I don't know what Sparky was laughing about here but we had a lot of laughs


This is a product of the forums. We made this firewall plate because of the forums



JEEP all the way Baby!


Then Sparky met Rod Imbat one of our oldest Stamping guys! He can identify where all the dies that we have, among the thousands in our inventory. He's our own manual inventory computer



this is Joel our head of Die-making:



in our parts and components warehouse:


our chassis frame library:



our tub library:


work instructions for Jeep parts making:



here's the Dappe Chart which identifies all the variations of the MB and GPW WW2 Jeeps. We plan to make one for CJ5s




with more Jeep Dies:


We found a Jeep In A Crate!



with our soon to be restored CJ3a:


checking out our tubs:
















with MDJuan himself:



And now for the formal induction to the MDJuan Family! The presentation of the MDJuan Shirt



Sparky is now officially a part of the MDJuan Family!


It was a fun day!

 

that's our electric MB. I'll post pics soon

 

Ummm, I thought it was earlycj5.net?

 

Hell with pics, where'd you get an electric motor that can drop onto a T-84? Or did you replace the whole driveline?

 

I based it on the logo not the url.

 

yes we replaced the driveline

 

See, that's why I'm not too keen on going with an electric conversion. Nobody makes a motor that you can just drop onto a transmission. You always have to have some kind of wonky synergy drive or generation-based braking system, or something like that.

Awesome!

 

Very cool! One day maybe I could get one of those cool shirts after my plant tour. When I get over there. Out of Florida for a vacation.

 

Sorry guys. The shirts are limited Edition and are no more. When you visit, we will gladly tour you. But no more shirt

 

Hey Sparky. It's funny how much faster you respond to the forum rather than you celfone I sent you a text. Cheers!
