Finish it already😂😂😂 All kidding aside. Glad you’re making some progress on it. Keep the pics coming. Buy the 71 and I will have it done is 3 months!

Still a long way to go, I got some body panels and ready to weld them in and patch holes. The best part is I'm going to make Springcove ride with me on the first trip out....and he is skeered!😋 Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

I'm guessing this one to be a bit more than that, it has been rebuilt, but I'm not sure of the cam. Will know more when I dig into it more in the coming month.

I striped the roll cage and primed and painted it. Mostly, just so it doesn't rust! It is by far the worse project on the Jeep! Did the cage last weekend. This weekend getting the fenders striped and patched. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

Welded up a couple of holes in the hood and some cracks on the fenders. Will add a sealer to it then color. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

Got a lot of the smaller holes welded up, until I ran out of gas for my welder. Did get the grill primed. Did place the V6 badging just to boost my spirts.

But that 1959 Jeep FC-170 is beyond cool! Rare as a white blackbird. Where'd you find that? (!) Make Gitmo Great Again!! Who gave the order to stop counting votes in the swing states on the night of November 3/4, 2020?

The guy is flakey as hell, so I passed on it. I will find another and closer, I'm not in a rush. I hope to have my 6 going by the end of September. I did get a rear panel replaced today.
