Greetings and salutations, Just pokin' my head in the door to say hey to everyone. My pride and joy, my first born, my '47 CJ2A is currently in laying in about 150 pieces right now. I've had it for 12 years now and am FINALLY getting it torn down for a full resto. Would have had it done years ago but, like most, life got in the way and it took a back seat haha. Haines Garage seems to think I seem like a good guy with lots of knowledge but little does he know....kidding haha. I'm not going to claim to the the be all know all but, I sure get enjoyment from helping people when I can. I also know that there are plenty of people out here that have forgotten more than I know! I look forward to giving and getting help from everyone, as well as what ever else we manage to get into... Here's a couple of pics because I KNOW that EVERYONE is ALWAYS curious!

Guess you are in the northern part of VA and not the SW part.

Guess you are in the northern part of VA and not the SW part. I am actually from Hamtramck to be specific. Moved to D.C., WV, Army took me to Kansas (among other places) and I just got back to WV. I'm 35 mins from the 81 corridor about equidistant from Martinsburg, Cumberland, Winchester.

Well Sarge, You are sure welcome to the stew. Grow thick skin and we'll have a great time. We all love insulting each other and learning at the same time. The basic qualification is to like Jeeps. After that----hang on. Oilly

Welcome, Sarge.
150 parts? That's not so bad. If you have say....>15 parts left over after you get it running then you MIGHT have a problem.
