Not sure if anyone still cares but my dad bought 2 M151A2 Jeeps in Florida this week one is crushed but the 2nd one is not and both jeeps need some work. Dads plans stock restoration of the good jeep. All I know is dad is heading back to Texas with both on his flat bed trailer. Nate

Good deal. Have your dad give me a call or e-mail me. I will have something for him that he will like.

anybody remember all of these posts? Probably not since most of the content has been deleted. Oh, what about the name calling? That whole thread was deleted for good reason.

Do we care? I for one do not. If you post some pictures of a M151 restoration in progress and being done correctly then I will care. You brought down the 503 and you tried to bring down the 838. When you want to talk 151's and 151's only then come on in. Why don't you post on the 503 anymore?

I am sorry Moose but I had to let some of the new guys know what this guy is about. If you say one thing wrong to him he throws a tantrum, deletes all of his posts and calls people names.

I will say no more on this subject, just voicing my opinion. And remember, opinions are like a**holes, everybody has one.

Kick me out, Suspend me, Censor me, whatever you like.

Well I do care Nate and to others and seems like this BS starting again. Only a hand full of people has meet and hang with HK and his family which my family and I have and we think the world of him.

Most of you have no idea what he is about because you all have yet to meet/vist with him and his family so how can one past judgement on him by just words and pictures.

His main beef is with the purist restorers because they don't like what he does to military jeeps. Well he does save the ones that he can be save, some can't be saved due to the delapied state it may be in so he modify them to his Dream, vision & liking and the ones that can't be saved even with MODS is parts only then to the scrap iron dealer.

If you want to bash him be prepaired to get it back with an eye, ear and brain full. So until you do meet him in person keep your dislikes to ones self or he well just pickup his toys and go home because no one wants to play nicely.

I don't know what else I can say except that he will communcate with ones whom knows him personnely e.g. friends, buddies or brothers of the HMV world.

Joe, I have no beef with you, you have helped me out on several occasions. I will send you a pm in the morning and that might clear some things up.
