Well and honestly it has had me really thinking about the impact my uncle had on so many students and others. He definitely mentored and taught my brother a lot, you should be able to see my brothers passion in my truck build and that goat wagon. I'll have to see if I can source any pictures...

Yup, we're all sick. 😄. When Greg did the trade work for the barracuda he thought Pat would say no and he would then ask about the midget. Pat didn't say no about the barracuda. 😆. I think a bunch of my cousins got to drive the topless Chevy around. I'll have to find out about that...

You probably recognize this topless Chevy as well then? Another uncle Pat build. Jared has it. Anyway, sorry to hijack.....back to midget talk. 😄

Oh wow, small world eh? I guess my truck project makes more sense now? I'm fortunate we have so many of us that enjoy the hobby. My cousin I bought the 40 from has the 67 now, he did some trade work for Pat and was given the car, minus the drivetrain, my other cousin Pat's son Jared has the...

My memory is fuzzy but my uncle stuck a 440 in one of these back in the 80s I think, took that out and put a 360 in instead? This was when he was Ogden high schools autobody/autoshop teacher, Last I recall seeing it was at the high school in the 90s, I remember the rear end seemed like it was...

I am super happy with it as is, flaws and all. If anything the flaws will bruise my brothers ego, especially if this thing is judged and docked for those mistakes. Also it has been a learning experience, so lessons learned for the next time? I'm inspecting it with an 8,000 lumen inspection...

It's not without it's flaws, we're no pros at this stuff. For a family garage build it is exceeding my expectations. It isn't about the truck but the journey, I've created an heirloom? It will be out next year all over the state.

Now we're cooking with beans. Base coat is on the rest of the panels, 5 clears tomorrow. I think they look great, especially considering how big of a mess those front fenders and running boards where. More of a supervisory/inspector roll for me today but it's good to see things get closer, I'm...

As I seen on Dr. Moabs Jeep today. 😆

Finally I think we are actually about ready for base coat. Made a mount for those front fenders, set everything up in the direction it'll sit on the truck. Probably do a bit more shop cleaning, wipe the panels. We'll wait till early Friday to begin, hopefully all goes well.

Not much has changed in my YJ since 1995.

He got hissy with me when I picked him up, decided to kick him out.

My new roommate helping out in the garage.

Dr. Moab helped me rebuild my 231 yesterday, picked up another AX5 from agility recently. Finally got out in my garage yesterday to start putting the old YJ back together. Was able to get most of it myself and move her out on her own power today, next month I've had this ole girl for 24...

So I think next year is going to be the year to start taking this out and about, still tons to do and just burning up this year way too fast. I think we are a week or so out from laying down base coat on everything that is left, little more sanding and a whole lot of prep to get it ready. My...

So sorry for your loss, I can surely relate. Also this is a good reminder for everyone to check in on your people, friends, family, anyone you might think has some struggles. I reached out to a friend and rme member last week who also lost his dad not long ago. Not sure he's doing the best...

Been busy elsewhere lately, stopped by the shop for a minute today. Albert has been busy with wood stuff. I really like it. Obviously not finished.

Last time I went up that road, 9 years ago, on a solo trip.

How much for the AX5?

So much sanding... Double check our bumper gaps to see if much changed, these fenders sure lived a farm truck life, not perfect but should look good. Neighbor is still learning how to do upholstery, not the final product but he's getting there.
