As far as the Jeep, I am in the middle of redoing all of the body and paint. It had rust spots and a few holes all over it. It looked good from a distance, but there was a lot of rust just waiting to pop through the paint. I have all of the body work done, now I am waiting to get it painted. I have a few small things to do to the interior, I also have to do some "waterproofing" to the firewall so I can drive it in the river. If I get some motivation, I might try to get it finished up this week and try it out in the river this weekend.
My old Jeep (1978 CJ-7), that I owned with my brother, burned up yesterday in the river. My brother was trying to climb something and then it backfired and went up in flames. I feel bad because my dad bought my half while I am redoing the engine in his 59 willys so he had something to drive. So now my dad has two jeeps that he can't drive.
Here is a pic of my dad's 59 Willys (Green one), some of the 78 Flamer (Maroon, now charcoal), and one of the Wet Willy before I started body work.
