I was in the process of bolting on the exhaust manifold when a stud broke. I decided to drill out the broken stud and thats about the time I realized that the studs go directly into the water jacket. It was so frustrating that I could only laugh.�

When I was having so much trouble with engine builds, 3x, I really started thinking a match and a gallon of gas was the right answer.   Now I'm back on my meds, its a lot better.....

My wife would say that I should have been committed years ago....

Being mid-stream in the project I would agree that the commitment occurred when I forked over the cash in the first place. Big step number two was purchasing the body kit. So far, I haven't wanted to quit.

I don't think there is any doubt that we as a group look at pile of rusting 3A scrap much differently than the common man, and certainly much different then our wives. We simply have to thank god for this unique gift that we have been given to see beauty that so many are blind too. We have a duty to history to keep the 3A alive, if not us...Who?

The day I paid for it and towed it home, with the radiator and cylinder head in the cab, along with the carb and air cleaner, I was on top of the world...

It was only later that the dream faded....

and I began to wonder whether or not I was crazy...

Actually getting to the original post; point of being commited.  This is when you first take the money out of your pocket to pay for it...or when you accept it for free to take home. ::)

I like it Randy. This stuff often looks better on paper than in action, doesn't it? Improvisation on the fly can be critical.� Good health and life insurance is a plus too.

At the last minute I strung an extra piece of rope through the little block-and-tackle and the wood frame...figured if it fell, it may do it in stages, and I might just be able to get out of the way.....

It is a storage unit, and there is a beam, but it was made of pretty thin material, more for appearance I think...

I could only work in there a couple of hours in the Summer mornings..It'd get up to about 120 degrees by noon....baked the primer on nicely though!

On the news for having the only jeep in the county with  a floor?

Is that one of those storage places?? Lucky you had a beam to lift from there....

Some of these crazy ideas actually work. If not for great design than by sheer luck. However, the ones that fail tend to be much more entertaining. ;D

One of my favorite saying is "good judgement comes from experience and most experience comes from bad judgement" Ryan got a PHD in that one.
