Hey guys, yeah, sorry. I have no idea what is going on with the email thing. I tried to fix it...
Yeah, just got to assemble. I will get some pics up soon.
I haven't fired up the engine yet.

Well, got a lot done.
Spark plugs hooked up in order.
Body mounted with rubber and bolts.
Brake lines hooked up.
Steering mounted, needs hooked up.
grill on, radiator set in, fenders placed, and hood placed, all for show and a picture

Hopefully tomorrow I can get everything else hooked up, and fluids filled. Maybe drive it around on Saturday

Thanks, and yeah I do.

Steering connected and almost all lines hooked up.
Brett stopped by today in his jeep, we put his soft top on and he gave me a spare drag link and components he had so I could put mine back together.

Thanks!

You guys miss this snowstorm? Bretto drove over in his m38 with no top on?!!!

Bretto is hard core.

I think he only put a heater and top on his jeep cause Rick had one....

Glad that helped you out. Someday your missing parts will turn up.
Thanks for helping out and freezing your hands off, putting on my top.

Luckily Wade is only a few blocks away but ya the drive home was a bit more pleasant in our 20° weather.

Yeah no snow here. Bretto is brave. My fingers were freezing. His heater is awesome! and I thought about photos, but didn't take any... should have. Next time I will.
