I'm flattered, but I doubt that's true. You would have gotten a chuckle over my weak effort at a car trailer refurb yesterday  But it's a trailer, good enough.
Something clever here.

Not too much progress, still waiting on some parts. I did get the new clutch in, and the transmission/transfer case in. I then noticed that my clutch arm was cracked, ordered a new one. ![[Linked Image]](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n289/txtoller/Jeep/20140604_140224_zpsarp6e9ey.jpg) I did receive my body mount spacers...long way before I need them. I also, got the Mico Lock in.

Ahhh, Dad did you mark the wires? ![[Linked Image]](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n289/txtoller/Jeep/20140615_122936_zps710fa5e0.jpg) Still waiting on some pieces and parts. Got to drag it down to the welder and have some new cross members welded in, along with the P/S bracket. The tub up on my uber cool rack! ![[Linked Image]](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n289/txtoller/Jeep/20140613_184356_zpsfb048629.jpg)

Looking good. I just picked up my new "project" on Saturday. It's a '64 Willys CJ5 that a local farmer bought new and kept it in his barn the majority of it's life. Only a little surface rust in places, but all original except he put new tires and clutch on it.
It's an improvement over the last Jeep "project" I had, a 78 CJ5 that Fred Flintstone would've felt at home in.
What color are you gonna paint it?

Very nice thread. I love following the pictures and evolution of the repair.
Wish I had the skills, time and place to take such and endeavor, but I can change light bulbs and pump my own gas, hahaha.

The headers arrived today. . ![[Linked Image]](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n289/txtoller/Jeep/20140624_154944_zpsfcad3fcf.jpg) Also went and picked up a cage. Going to change a couple of things, but it is a good start. ![[Linked Image]](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n289/txtoller/Jeep/20140624_155006_zpsa2fa0a9c.jpg)
