Normally I respect slowmover's input; but this worries me:

No one but the undertaker is impressed by a neat & tidy graveside service.

I just want to point out some things about the Veep
Hand-Crafted Stainless Steel 3A & 3B Repro Bodies and Parts
The CJ3B is a long wheelbase version. The CJ3A is $4K FOB Myrtle Creek, OR. The Veep chassis is two 2x4" rectangular steel tubes connecting the rear torsion housing to the VW front suspension. For technical reasons I think a Type III front end would be better.
While a 4WD Jeep has a top speed of 45mph, a 2WD Veep can cruise at freeway speeds. With the ground clearance and short overhangs you want off-road. The only place 4WD has an advantage is in crawling boulder-sized rocks. (Or exiting the water, if a Schwimmwagen)
What I would want is something that can travel long distances and then be open to the surrounding environment at rest. Maybe a Veep with Subaru power pulling an Airstream Bambi.
