Welcome (back) Steve! I went to high school a little south of you in Naples. Seems like a lifetime ago now.

We like pics here if you have any to share. What are you driving? Or working on? Or mowing around as it sinks further and further into the yard?

Small world Ryan. I have lived down here 46 years so know area quite well. I graduated from Fort Myers H.S. in 1974. Lee and Collier are pretty much melded together now. I have lot's of pic's on the surfacezero site under name googly moogly and will get some moving around. Been a long time member of the G503 site but it's fallen off a bit recently.

I lived down there in the early '90's. Went to Barron Collier and worked at the ol' Everglades Wonder Gardens in Bonita. I'm sure I wouldn't even recognize Lee or Collier County now. Got my first real taste for Jeeps bombing around Big Cypress in my buddy's old CJ-7. Good times!!

Recognize quite a few names , Ed from Nebraska, F Bill, Larry Long and Bob W. Well Ryan I am an old dog and you are just a pup. Everglades Wonder Garden closed this year, health issues with David Piper, it is partially open as a botanical place of some sort.

I knew he was having some major health issues. Too bad. He's not that old.

I'm glad you persevered...We could always use some more experienced members to help out the new folks.

Unfortunately we haven't seen much of Rocketeer lately. He is missed.

Got any pics of your jeep? You can link to them or actually download to the site.

Nice looking Willys. Mine originally had red wheels but I couldn't bring myself to paint them red again. Seeing how good yours looks puts me one step closer to actually doing it.

Welcome Steve and thanks for the pic's, nice work.
Ever been to Vintage Willy's in Bradenton? I've made the 30 mile trip twice from Venice and found them closed both times. Peering through the gate it looks like a Willy's Disney World.

No I have never heard of a jeep place in Bradenton. I have a sister in law in Venice and a brother in Temple Terrace. When I get my top on and have it running reliable I would like to get up US 41 on a trip. Original color of my first jeep was Luzon Red. I was going to go with Pickett Grey and the Harvard Red wheels. I like the red but the Grey was just too dark for me. This color is called Silver Fox and I really like it. My civvy bantam trailer will also be this color.
