Sarge from Art of Animation Hotel in Walt Disney World

Sarge from pixar’s ‘cARs’ IN WALT DISNEY WORLD

I’ve been on vacation this last week, and while I did get a lot of axle work done, I’ll be posting all the photos from the work next week in a double post! But, while on vacation I ran into a life-size ‘Sarge’ from the Cars movie series. Pretty awesome to see, and just about real-life size at the Art of Animation Resort in Walt Disney World, Florida. The details on Sarge are pretty amazing considering he’s from an animated movie, with a trailer socket, reflectors, correct bolts for the crash pads, and lots more. Here’s a series of photos of Sarge! If only I could pose my Jeep next to him! Till next week!

Looks like for the next few weeks I’m only going to be able to work on some weekend days and Mondays as weekdays have gotten busy! But even then, still got a lot of work done taking apart the axles this week. Follow along as I take apart various items on the front axle and hunt for Ford F stamps!

More Axle work and a look at what’s left

This week was a bit slow again, and I only got to work on the rear axle disassembling it more checking it out. I discover several Ford F marks, and see what condition the brakes are in. At the end of the post after some shots of the Jeep while out driving, I break down what’s left to do on the Jeep till I can say I’m pretty much ‘done’. While the overall restoration is finished, there’s still plenty left to do!

Markings are finished!

Markings are finished!

As the New Year quickly sped past, the Jeep as entered what I’d call the final phase for the restoration and it so close to being ‘done’ that it shouldn’t be much longer now with the small projects left. This week I was able to work quite a bit on the Jeep, with the last markings being put on, continuing work on the GPW axles, and starting work on adding the trailer socket shield.
