I bolted the driver’s side fender on and to drill a couple of broken off bolts. Even that 60s cheap steel is tough against supposed good bits. Not top of the line.

Ordered new front lights and tail lights.

I think that steel is tougher than anything from today.

It is. The other metal work I had to do early on was a real reminder. I’m having a problem sending the real one up to the galleries. FTP is bombing out today.

The original bumper was riveted and that was all afternoon adventure. Some of the staged stuff in the middle of the page was done as I went.

kaiserwillys.com just down I20 in Aiken SC. Good guys. Even visited the place once.

They are starting to carry AMC era stuff now.

I will check that out. I lived in Summerville South Carolina for many years - two of my daughters were born in the Navy Hospital there.

I kind of didn’t push too hard once I got some smoke, hope it looks good for the evaluators if I can it uploaded.

Thanks. I loved doing the technical side of TV which became less and less in my last years at George Rogers Blvd, I became a glorified data entry clerk doing things I could train anybody to do in a day.

I was perceived by my immediate management as uppity since I could do things they couldn’t, learned fast, worked independently, took responsibility. Shoved me at a Louth station and only get pulled for something when it was important. I had the louth thing down to beyond a science. I could at least turn BBC World News and in between news shows, things like Top Gear excerpts would run.

Just 60D in HD and Lumix in 4K. Every now and then something from old metal sells, usually goes overseas by the tracker in my account.

I apologize for the language my love. I am a child of Christ and you seem like a neat lady. But here you go for Craigslist ads:

wow....I think he should charge per f-bomb, too. :) but, funny.

I don't own a Jeep, btw, but was reading the thread with interest (I love the passion people have for things) and remembered the craigslist ad...had to do it. :)

This photo is stock, but believe me, it is the same.

So, you're saying that you're not a pretty girl with beer.

Nice photo. I also have a two door but it only has a soft top (and a bikini). I’m thinking of getting a hardtop for winter to cut down road noise/more secure. Do you recommend a one-piece or three piece hard top?

The ad is funnier than hell, but the car is worth about $500 and the owner knows it. :o)
