It's a good thing I hauled for home when I did. It's snowing and 13 right now. I always have to earn the Jeeps I buy. My first job is to build a new ramp for the car trailer so I can get the pickup off. The mental giants that made the trailer designed a ramp pocket gate that failed and dumped one of my ramps out. Since it was behind the spare tire and fender, I never saw the ramp fall out until a kind motorist flagged me down. I went back to get it--------------was supposed to be lying beside the road in plain sight-------------GONE!!!!!! Oh, I'm upgrading to another pickup and selling Wiggins. The new pickup's name is Evanston! Grumpy was a big help. His 3B is going to be very nice! You'll be able to spot it from any satelite in space! His future is bright. You all will get to see us in June! No flash is needed to take a picture! Oil

::)Wiring harness, interior, gas tank is installed. Everything but the steering wheel, heater, and transmission are installed. If I had an engine I would have it drivable in a couple of weeks. Still waiting on the machinist he's a little busy. I haven't purchased tires yet, still trying to decide between 35s or 37s, figured with 5.38 to1 differential gearing I could run either size and not need an overdrive to attain hiway speeds.  |

Isn't it annoying when you're ready for the rest of your parts, and nobody gives a damn! Just makes you want to own a tazzer or a cattle prod!! What you got there looks good though Grumpy! Like you buddy Leaker says, better be there come June!!

Your machinist needs influence. Go in his shop , sit down in a chair and stare at him until he tells you when. If he asks if you need it, say yesterday. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Oil

Haven't heard from Keith for quite some time now. Just wondering if he will have the 3B ready for the Black Hills run or not. I think he was waiting for the motor to get done!

Keith is fine, I talk every week with him. He's not happy with his machinist. No engine yet. God knows when. I think with his treatment and chronological sense of when a job comes in, his customers will soon be gone. Then maybe he could get your engine done since he has no customers.  |

Oilleaker, perhaps on your way to Vegas to pick up my slatgrill you can swing by the machinist's place and have a motivational conversation with him!.................I sure do like a Yellow Jeep  PS |

Oily when are you headed to Vegas? I've headed the other way with my 3B. Im taking it apart again. With no motor in sight might as well repaint. Haven't decided what color scheme this time. I have thought about winching it in the trailer and hauling it off. Tired of it taking up space doesn't look like I'll drive it anytime soon.
