Was hoping to be doing body work and getting ready for paint already.

Still playing with bumper stuff, since they are more of a decoration than a bumper we will take the frame mounted brackets off, fill the bracket holes on the fenders and build a mounting system directly to the fenders. I'm thinking they'll end up an inch away from the fender creating a...

I have some cassettes if you need to borrow some.

Mystery glyphs in Ogden.

My grandfather liked to take pictures, More early 80's here.

Was? I did this a few months back actually, so not actually my "pic of the day" but I have to many pics to share. :D Turning on the shortwave. Proof...remember tubes warming up and the smell?

Remember when you bought stuff for life? Here's my grandparents old shortwave radio, I believe from the 50s? Still works like a charm, even has some spare tubes.

Ha, nah, there are several in there and it works. Owner is a retired air force veteran, he drives this thing everywhere.

Bombing around in this doing some data logging.

Previous job photo, brownie points to anyone here that can explain what we are doing, what it is....

Someone that has an account here threw this thing at me off the back of his XJ flying down a dirt road about 6 years ago. I still give him shit about it cause he built it.

Here is a weird one I found when scanning slides. I believe it had written. "House of David Miss. 1961"

Have you seen the flyers for Peach days yet? This should be on the shirts and such this year. Goat wagon will be there front and center.

One of my favorite pics of my dad, early 80's restoration gathering pow wow with a couple traditional dancers. You can see dads 59 fleetside in the background which is sitting in my brothers driveway.

Here's a start to the custom split bumper stuff. Still working on rounding the cut end to better match the other side.

Another small victory in getting my rear bumper fully mounted with the shortened brackets and original mounting bolts deleted. Then we started cutting some paper board to get an idea on how we are going to add some filler panels, I don't really like most the roll pans, they make the bed look...

Started getting the rear bumper brackets shortened up a bit, the stock location of the bumper is way too far out, potential to take your shin out, out. I like this look better, cleans up the rear of these things a lot, will also add some roll pan/filler panel stuff back there to clean up the...

I bet it was cheap back then too? Driving the 40 the other day with the 455 I could definitely feel all that torque and I wasn't really hot rodding it, went around one turn and my foot fumbled around trying to find that little spoon peddle I felt that rear end almost wanting to bust loose.

Marc if you do entertain the idea of a Kia or Hyundai my cousin is the head honcho at the Layton dealership, he is the one the drives the topless 52 Chevy truck, he also has a new challenger. I vote for a cheapish beater/commuter and maybe a restomod boat tail Riviera for the fun?

I think you need to think about most of its intended use, any commuter vehicle is just gonna get run into the ground right? I am all for a cheapish, reliable vehicles that not one person on the road will ever notice you. I finally sold off my stock XJ last year at around 250K miles on it cause...
