The Scrambler is really coming along. It might be too nice to drive though ...?

Never. I’ll still have much more into my JK and I’ll still go and drive it off a cliff

This thing is looking good. I know its not a jeep but I'm really getting the itch to get a late 60's early 70's Ford Pickup and do a nice resto on it. Just make it reliable so it can be a DD.

I agree, they really should be piece of art on their own.

But in truth, most people don’t even know how to open the hood.

Yeah when I was trying to swap the battery in our Durango I was totally confused as to where it was. I couldn't find it under the hood. I had to Google it and found it under the passenger seat. Wtf!

Yeah, it took me a bit to find the battery in my wife’s traverse in the same spot. Crazy

Every time you share a picture it just gets better and better. Push this thing across the finish line.

I've always wanted one of those as a project, such classic looks, when vehicles were still built for style and I've never even sat in one. So hard to find anything remotely classic lately without being pulled half missing from a junk yard.

Nice to hear the Scrambler is rollin forward a bit more. That engine looks great! Looking forward to seeing the next updates.

Hopefully the next update has a bunch of panels back on or at least in color. I’ve got to carve a bunch of time out in April to get my phase done, (wiring, exhaust, DSs, air lines, switches, and compressor.) Then it goes back for final polish and firing the engine. Then testing!
