well, i shall soon have no excuse, the replacement panels should be here soon, i have fenders, some floor panels, body mount kit, new fenders, a rebuilt 258, a good tranny to install. Still need some major work with brakes, find a windshield etc... This should be some hard work, but i too have a dream of driving that beast around... Went to a car show sunday, that will give ya some motivation... Dont wait till fall if ya can... Bad weather and all... Good luck, Jeep out.
