	So I finally got it off road...but not far.... Lots of fun though...I think this is what you visualize and what keeps you going when you are knee deep in rusty metal.. http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s519/green55jeep/1951%20CJ-3A/th_cj3asept302... http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s519/green55jeep/1951%20CJ-3A/th_CJ-3a9-30-1... On my computer the video skips and is ragged the first time through, but then it smooths out the second time...

	HAHA!! I love the Les Stroud "Survivorman" style production of the second video. Hopefully you scratched the paint at least once on this outing. The world is a much better place after you get that inevitable horror over with.

	Last spring I bought a top frame from Walck's when they had a sale.... And then the nice UPS person stopped by and brought a big box from Beachwood Canvas.... No doors yet though....

	Looks very sharp. Any initial feeling on how easy this top will be to take off an put back on? Is it something that can be done easily in a few minutes or will it pretty much stay installed indefinitely? I've heard that canvas tops, once they get wet, shrink to the point where it's a real battle putting them on after awhile.

	I have the same top on mine, it goes on and off in about 15 minutes. The bows and top go on quickly. It takes time to fasten all the individual retainers and add the rod from curve of the body to the bows. This rod has to be remove and installed each time you add or remove the side curtain. Once the canvas dries out it goes back on with out to much difficulty. I try to leave mine on until dry. I did remove while wet on the Fall Colors Tour and had no problem putting it back on the next morning.

The first time, even with cutting the holes for the side curtain snaps only took a little over an hour. I was happily surprised that the top frame(from Walck's) fit so well after all that this jeep has been through..and the canvas top fit just as well...

	I finally got around to swapping the wheels back. It's kind of a project with only one floor jack and some jack stands, but at least I have a pneumatic rattle gun.... So here it is, two years and a week since I bought it...the only thing left is the rear PTO gearbox and the jury is still out on whether or not it gets installed....
