Before I moved to The Villages, I lived in the Washington DC 'burbs. I was a member of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association through the local chapter. Many of the members had rebuilt military vehicles from around the world and loved showing them at various exhibitions. I did not have one but sure did enjoy seeing what others had rebuilt. Many of the guys put lots of time and lots of money into the restorations.
I have attached a link to their website if you are interested in taking a look.
