Car of the Week: 1946 Jeep Hot Rod
What's olive drab, has a V-8 and elicits grins from ear to ear? It's Joel Ponty's 1946 jeep hot rod of course!

Looks pretty well done.

Gotta love the "Max Speed 135 MPH" stencil on the dash --- even though he says 65 is a handful.

And like the rest of us, he's not saying how much money he sunk into it.

Awesome that they didn't chop an original Jeep and used all reproduction parts. That's the right way to do it!

"Rat Fink meets Rat Patrol".. appropriate. Remember Weird Oh's?? As a kid I built every kit they made, too bad they didn't offer a Jeep model..
