First Drive Video on You Tube

I finally did it! Got my 1953 M38a1 to move out under it's own power! The jeep had been surplussed out as a non-working jeep in 1984. I'm the third owner since the Jeep's Army Discharge.
I've had lots of ups and downs, and still have a long ways to go. I discovered an oil leak on the drive. There's a squeak on the clutch linkage and I still need to do some steering linkage lubrication. All the rubber seals are as hard as a rock. Sanding on the hood and cancer rust on the windshield frame.
So, take a look and let me know what you think!

Thanks! I am pretty excited!
