I like how you do your projects.... get it together, with only essential upgrades... no wasting time on rebuilding (painting) every little detail which can just draw a project out for years.... You get it done and enjoy it for what it is.

Thanks man!

I just love the look of original, weathered cars. It doesn’t look like it should run, but it does. When I’m dead, someone else can do a full restore. This one is taking a bit longer, I’m working on my Model A project at the same time.

Little more work this weekend, water pump, alternator, fuel lines, fuel tank and some electrical work. I love flaring a good fuel line…

That flare turned out perfect, I think I've fucked up every one of those I've ever touched

She runs!!! Sorta…. Finishing the wiring up, yes I need to clean it up a bit. But I wanted to fire it up…. Turns out my fuel pump is shot. So no driving yet…, so close

I don't flare lines anymore, it got too expensive

let's see, I need a 3' section flared on both ends a couple of bends... 30' of line should do it lol

Open header, it stops just behind the door

Amazing how quiet those motors are without exhaust. Not much different with.

When you come to pick up the soft top make sure to bring this to trade.

Ah! The sweet sound of old iron purrs like a kitten!

You still think he is actually coming? (That’s what she said)

Soon as it got gas l, it fired up and just purred. I doubt it had ran since it was parked in 2000. It was literally just started when I shot this. Tires will be here next week for the drive !

I’ll be driving it on some sketchy shit this weekend, no doubt.

New shoes for this bitch. I went with something new rather than old school. My FC and M38A1 slide all over the road. I plan to DD this one more. The green rims are original to the jeep far as I can tell.(passenger side). It came with all 4, but 2 we’re trashed. As luck would have it, I had two spares laying around. No idea from which pile..

Great looking alternative to the old school type tire. Tread pattern and size look appropriate for the vintage
