Whoa!! Hold on Rich.
You still have several hours of assembly before you can show that.
Nice job.
As someone said earlier, " And that was the last mud it saw, period"
Hope she don't become a trailer Queen, but I wouldn't half blame you if she did.
Keep up the good work.
I may make it to the Jam, little bit of a hike. we will have to see.

Also I'm glad you joined the forum. In the short time I have been a member I have met many great people and learned more than I ever knew about these Jeeps. With your Jeepin experience maybe you will be able to assist others as well with questions they may have.
Great to hear from you and thanks again for the kind words.

If I could only have the trials and tribulations I thought I had when I was a teenager. LOL. Like I say, I don't consider myself old. I trained MMA for a few years, lift weights regular and still outrun our entire varsity football team, fact, but when I was a teenager, 30's was old. LOL. You young guys enjoy every minute of school years you have. I heard that story too as a kid but its a fact for sure.

Im skipping out on school to rid the back of a great metal beast called an aircraft carrier to see the works gain experience and not be drowned in school debt. Everyone that I've talk to that's in my line of work (mechanic) has said that they wish they would have done it. People their age are doing small jobs after retiring at 38 lol that's my plan

The hood is finished. We had the local shop mix up a satin black aka hot rod black for this. It turned out perfect.
