Ok I still can't do pics yet, but here are some links to some short videos my daughter did last weekend. I was able to just cut and paste these. They are pretty much uneventful, but you get an idea of what I have.

This is the first time the Jeep has ever moved on it's own power.

Take 6 is when I realized it was pretty much out of gas the first 5 takes. That's why it was running so bad. Once I got some fuel in her she took off.

Ok this was just a test. As time allows I'll post more pics and try to put together a time line of the last 3 years.

Here's some more of me trying my hand at thin metal welding and body work. The goal was to remove all rust and replace with good metal. The body was in really bad shape, but I really liked the idea of having a 59 year old body.
I think after a lot of grinding and sanding and a little plastic it will look great. I'm really not worried about it being too smooth, just solid.
