Well, I bought it from a guy about 6 years ago who had done the body work, but the rest is all me.  Spent way more on all of the stuff than I ever thought I would.  There is no way I can sell it now, I have too much in it.  ;)  But I figure all hobbies have some expense involved, right?  At least this way, I get to enjoy it when it isn't in pieces in the garage (and even when it is in pieces I enjoy it!).

Yes, the crew is very helpful too!

I am getting excited! We are going to Florida to visit my family and we are already checking out jeeps and parts...Dave say's "you never know what we might find" ...that is his reasoning to jeep hunt, as if I didn't catch on after the "I knew you always wanted a jeep so I got you one for your birthday present." Ahhh he is like a jeep, he requires constant upkeep and pampering and he looks good to me.

What part of Florida are you from? Nice jeep and I am pretty sure you have a repro M38 tub or at least the earlier tubs with multi features so takes care of body work.

We are going to WPB. Nice to visit a few times a year. Yeah we have figured we have a tossed salad with a lot to work with. The best part it's all in great shapeand runs like a top!

Our son in law is from there. They live here now as he went to FGCU and met our daughter here. Different pace on east coast a little too busy for me. I have a sister in law in Castillon Springs and my Dad was born in Brace near Lawrenceburg.

We love Tennessee and have family in Buffalo Valley where we also live and Jonesboro in East Tn.
We get the best of 2 states but love the slower lifestyle of TN.

Had a great vacation visiting family.  Our son took us to a car show in North Palm Beach County and saw a 1948 CJ2A that was beautifully restored.
We also stopped in at Stoney's Automotive in Hobe Sound, FL. They had some awesome cars they were restoring, Willys, Toyota's,  and even a Corvette.
I love seeing pride in workmanship and people loving their jobs.  :)
