Some more progress on GPA #8787

After mounting a lot of parts it is time to post another update on GPA #8787. Sorry for the poor quality, my digital camera is not working very good with the poor and artificial light in my shed. Don't look at the two different OD colours as well, my supplier did send me a bucket of the wrong shape ...

Re: Progress on 11374

Yes it looks great!
You made good progress, you're allmost there.
Building up is great to do, but not allways an easy job.

Re: Looking for correct USA number

Robert, There were 3 GPA contracts which had the following USA numbers: 702104-709999 7010000-7012103 7012105-7014882 Without any frame and/or engine number it is hard to tell what USA number has to be on it. I've checked my gpa photos of the salmon fishers and these gpa's were so heavely modified t...

Re: LIFE Magazine photo archives

David,
Thanks very much for sharing this with us. I've seen very impressive detailed GPA photos I've never seen before. These GPA's must have been brand new, you can even see the cadmium plated bolts on the deck.
The jeep photos are great as well!

Re: Snaps on rear upper seat cushion

Hi David,

That is nice of Beachwood to call you.
I responded with photos on the G503 allready but the number of 6 snaps is OK.

How do the seat cushions of Beachwood look like? Are they leather or canvas?

Re: Progress on GPA 9398

Hello Richard, Thanks for the update on the axles, unfortunately I do not have a winch bell crank, I've seen them for sale on eBay, but they were sold too expensive, like many things on eBay. Maybe I will find one in the future for a reasonable price. Why are your axles painted black? Or is that jus...

Progress on GPA#8787

Here is some progress on my GPA: The nice thing of having 3 weeks off work for hollidays is that it provides some more time for the hobby then on normal working days. After Peter's great job repairing my hull and bringing her home I started the building up progress. First I painted the inside of the...

Re: GPA Post Swim Maintenance

How about the drain plugs?

Do you install them with any sort of grease or oil on the threads?

Re: Repro or original parts needed

Donovan,

Do you have an e-mail adres of Dennis Francis?
Does he have a list of what parts he makes with prices?
