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 blush

But it's a trailer, good enough.

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.

I did receive my body mount spacers...long way before I need them. I also, got the Mico Lock in.

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!

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.
