It's Alive, It's Alive!!!
« on: March 29, 2009, 03:59:43 pm »
After two years of work I'm finally to the point of having a running Jeep. It started 1st try & runs well with no leaks & I have not even checked or adjusted the timing or carb yet.  Clutch, brakes & trans work (well at least 1st & reverse I just moved it back & forth in the garage) Idiot lights in speedo work. Now for the bad, battery is not being charged & there is no power going to my aftermarket gauges. Oh well I'll sort that out later. I'm burned out ^^^ stoned# for the day but very happy  ;D

Great! another one almost back!

I thought about you yesterday, went to Cowtown with joe, and a guy had a ton of Willys Jeep body parts but nothing was cheap! Made Vws look like a real bargan!

 Jeeps are way cool! especially the old ones!

 If I did not have a bug, or did not have a Model A ( which I dont), I'd get an old jeep.....

Congrats!
