OLD NEW MEMBER
« on: October 22, 2014, 09:24:26 PM »
Many of you already know me by the signature > oldtime <

Not been on this forum since the change to Yabb.
Anyway I'm all signed up again and hope to participate in your good company.

One of my my current projects is a Trans-Model CJ-3A build.
By trans-model CJ-3A I mean that component assemblies are incorporated from other Jeep models.
In this case most assemblies and parts excepting the body tub and frame are taken from the other universal classed jeeps.
I start with a CJ-3A body tub and upgrade it by using 1953-1977 CJ-3B and CJ-5 parts and assemblies.

My Trans -model CJ-3A is called  "Ricochet"  because it is billed as the long awaited return of the famous ACME Jeep formerly known as the SILVER BULLET.

THANK YOU !

An official welcome back to you, Ken.

In case you all don't know, Ken is THE authority on all things CJ-3B.
He's the guru of the CJ-3B forum.

Now he's building a 3A. Cool. Maybe we can learn a few things from him and maybe he can learn a few things from us. Best of both worlds.
1946 2A - - - 1949 me - older than most of my Jeeps
1954 3B - - - 1957 Wagon - - - 2010 4-door JK
past Jeeps ---> '54 3B - no tub --- '59 3B - no engine
past addiction - VW ---> '69 bus --- '70 camper

Thanks all for the overinflated high PSI encouragement.
(AKA hot air)

I'd like to start up a new topic on the few but nevertheless important superior traits of the CJ-3A.
And eventually I also would like to share with you my own 3A build. 

I have not been keeping up with the current posts but will certainly join in when I can.
So are you all ready for some new 3A topics ? (Said one jeep addict to another)
