the 01 came from Ohio and doesnt have a clear title, the 89 does so when it gets titled the veteran that recieves it wont have to go through the bullsh@#@ of title and plates in Indiana, and the 01 was T-boned on the passengerside

That is very cool!
As a Veteran, I appreciate that you are doing this, and I know I would appreciate all the hard work! That thing is going to look awesome! I hope my ZJ comes out as good once I get the money to start on it!

thank I got the idea after talking to a veterans wife, he was struggling and wouldnt go to the doctor so I got an Idea(Why dont I give this away to him and his family. Give him something that would be different and cool all at the same time.We have gotten alot of donations from organizations and local buisnesses. So that is how this all came about. Lots of people have helped and worked on making this happen. I would like to thank them all.
