i would really love to but it still needs a good amount of work before i can really go far with it. definately no highway driving (9" drums f+r, 5.38s with stock tires, etc) so i could take rte 82 to waterford. I will drive it to a meet and greet this year if theres going to be more. by summer i do plan to have it roadworthy so i can take it to the bar

that is awesome! *jealous* Keep us updated with pics this is great ;D my pleasure ok got up late today, was out kinda late last night so today was a little short haha but i got some stuff done Started out by torching off the hack rigged plow frame   looks better already  also removed all of the wiring except for the start and charge ciruit. cleaned the gas tank out and hooked it back up. greased all the steering and clutch linkages. It is a fun little project for sure. Next weekend im going to put my fiberglass tub on it and finish the wiring and hopefully the brakes. |

i talked to a few people today about this thing and realized i hadnt posted anything about it in a while. took the metal tub off and am putting a fiberglass body on for now so i can use it as my daily driver  this shows the skeleton i made from small box tubing to reinforce the fiberglass tub. has tie ins for the seats, belts, fenders, rocker protection and roll bar   heres the frame i wire brushed it and am using dupli color spray engine enamal with ceramic. I used this paint on my vw engine about 2 years ago and it still looks new and i painted it in like 40 degree weather. I have the garage heated for this tho   not the uber rare stock military pintle but i have this kiccking around and it will bolt on so why not  and not to be a dick at all but back then they made them with stock twin sticks  and dana 44 rears   |

 i see ur cj and raise you a fully running one if it has a factory v8 and 3 speed i might trade, altho i kinda have a thing for the flathead. this one runs great. fuel injected flathead would be the cats ass |

yea tell me about it, its a pretty bumpy ride, altho i didnt realize it till i took the body off that the rear shocks were seized thus preventing any suspension travel hahaha. so with some new oem shocks, it mght ride a little better |
