PERFECT Jeep Restoration - START TO FINISH - Rex Reviews

Do you have an old WWII Jeep that needs to be brought back from the dead? Meet Don Denning, owner of Kilroy's Garage. From the Ford Pygmy prototype, to the G.P. and the Willys Jeep, Don is the man who can conduct the olive-drab resurrection! In this video, Rex takes you on a tour of Kilroy's Garage to see what Don is working on now. We were surprised to see the recently uncovered original Ford Pygmy. We also got to look at a Ford G.P. restoration in progress. At the end of the video, we show you a completed (award winning) 1940 G.P. in all its beautiful detail. We hope you find this as interesting as we did.
Special thanks to our Rex Reviews participant DinosaurEatchYa for inviting us to Kilroy's Garage where he has worked with Don and learned as much about the Jeep as he has about the American Dream! Thank you, Don - for passing down your skills to the next generation!

its a beautiful thing to see these Jeeps restored to their former glory

[@tristenbrayan6912]

not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you're stoned like me atm you can stream all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last weeks xD

[@westonsantiago9828]

@Tristen Brayan Yea, been using instaflixxer for years myself :D

[@whiskeyjoe40]

You can tell that this man loves his work. The attention to detail is no joke for him. Every piece has to be period correct, or he wants no part of it. I surely hope he has a younger individual to take his place when he's gone, because these jeeps and other things that were made during these times will probably outlive us all. Great video Rex, and thanks for bringing us this true American who has a true passion for our history.

[@jimlong527]

Great work Don, the love of an American icon. Those of us who owned one understand why you do what you do. Stay healthy.

[@sterlingo.7340]

[@JSkulkingBushwack]

This brought back some memories. I learned how to drive in my dads jeep on logging roads in northern California. Thanks for the video..

[@ViolentKisses87]

I'll watch the rest of this in the morning. Awesome start though.

[@trevorsgaragemusings]

True metal craftsman there! Thanks for sharing!

[@tanglediver]

[@A8vscRrabbit]

[@A8vscRrabbit]

i used to have a 53/56 jeep

[@wadehebert4923]

i don't have the money but i'd love to have a willys one day.

[@MELODICACHANEL]

COOL THE MAN¡¡¡¡ YODA OF THE JEEP, IS A HONOR ¡¡

[@jonathanb1987]

Since I'm stationed at Minot AFB in North Dakota and his shop is only a few hours away in Belfield, ND I'll have to check his shop out. I'll defiantly bring my Jeep too. lol

[@johannel1895]

Wow what a surprise! I'm busy with a CJ2A

[@spitfire1two]

Too freaking cool

[@TTGLL]

TiborasaurusRex those headlights man, that's slick. My uncle had a Willis jeep, I wonder if it had them? I never looked under the hood. His ran like a champ. He sold it for 300 dollars. I think it still ran great. I couldn't ride in it long as a adult, 75 inches tall dude doesn't fit in there well for long rides LOL

[@timgrolley2427]

That is just Beautiful Man...

[@sjohn58]

That is cool thanks Rex

[@koltiska]

Love it!

[@scottybeegood]

Great save!

[@KowboyUSA]

Outstanding.

[@MrJeep75]

I love the ford GP

[@bobkohl6779]

Nice job, did a 44 GPW in the 70s. Was USMC

[@Youngsoldier93]

Turn it into that drag Willys jeep! Lol

[@ZaftDima]

Дед молодец, столько редких запчастей накопил

[@MrmultiJeep]

I think you need to give the proper credit to the Bantam company. They're the ones who CREATED the Jeep. Willys and Ford were given the contract to build them but thats it.

[@muffinman3111]

Bantam was the first company to make a prototype Willys and Ford made their own prototypes and Willys won the contract then Ford started making the gpw

[@timothyadcock5103]

$25,000!!!! That is a bargain for his workmanship!

[@benjaminruiz5947]

Vehículo más hermoso no existe !!

[@1339LARS]

This vid is realy nice !!

[@GM4ThePeople]

(1:19) Don Denning UNLOCKED

[@miguel.angelo1031]

bella maquina

[@fernandomendes9406]

The Ford pigmy was already with divided wheels?

[@pedullabass]

im pretty sure this is not a Pygmy. Looks like a 1941 FORD GP to me.

[@Kilty007]

Enjoyed the video. Why were the correct reflectors (3:50) not used on the restored version?

[@joeriolo3962]

nice work do you do m151a2 jeeps

[@randhalljoss6762]

black out ligth is coming later on it's not correct,but up dated on previous model but not on gp

[@pedullabass]

The carb you show in the video is not a Holley 847D. The 847d is worth maybe $6000 but thats not one.

[@pedullabass]

***** well obviously

[@MrJeep75]

Those didn't have blackout drive lights, didn't come out tell late 42

[@coolgamer1813]

That is my grandpa

[@drhook62]

Joe yes I will do m151a2 jeep

[@libertyman3072]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@pedullabass]

these wheels are so wrong on this jeep. Split rim combat rims are for the standard WW2 jeep. This jeep should have solid rims. Also you do not put a blackout light on the front fender of the GP. This is still a nice jeep but its got some incorrect things about it.

[@DeanMichaelDorman]

So he fabricated 97% of the final jeep while stripping some pieces of metal from the original?

[@MrJeep75]

Those didn't have combat wheels

[@scottyd8]

How many cigarettes do you think this fella has smoked.?

[@euricotravia1382]

[@mdfether]

[@Nautical-Nonsense]

This guy is full of crap the military only liked the placement of the lights on the ford version and that ford had a big enough factory to build them they realy liked the original desigher phantom but the couldn't mass produce them so they took phantoms design added the lights from fords modded phantom jeep and the powerful engine from willies modded phantom jeep but didn't comission phantom to build there own jeep because how small they were

[@Nautical-Nonsense]

Not the old man but the info in tje beginning

[@thomashorner7474]

It's Bantam.... not phantom

[@tomford5416]
