What do you see that tips that off?

I'd take that! In the meantime we've bought and totalled a Jeep, so... @Funner, patience born of necessity. Maybe if I suddenly strike it rich I can change my currency. The exchange rate on patience isn't getting me anywhere it seems. @akingf5371 congrats! Beautiful too. Wow. I'm certainly...

Ha, that's exactly what my wife said when I showed her these photos. Yeh, whenever it's ready to roll I look forward to having an epic road trip full of many celebrations along the way. I will savor every moment of that long, long drive.

Mike is on a tear! Front clip painted and being installed with new steps. And let there be light! He gave a walkaround of the front clip as he was working on the paint. 1 Video Quite a few more photos in my full album: Shutterfly

Mike has made some more progress this week. I'm loving it, but I'm keeping my patience and expectations in check. Heh.

The body/tub have been painted. Frame, firewall etc. These front pieces hadn't been done yet. Also the doors, ambulance doors, and hard top pieces haven't been blasted and painted. Not 100% sure, but the barn door may have been done. And the replacement steps need paint. The soft top is on...

And sufficiently distracted with running a new business and raising 4 kids. @TCSTARK I wish I had an eta to give. Progress, albeit not on my time table, is the best I hope for.

Godspeed!

Media blasting and prepping for paint.

Just a few. Lining up fenders, hood, front. Removing body filler.

Patience is a renewable resource. :)

2016? I like your optimism. Ha!

@Mechnizer just posted a short video on FB of Hank running. https://www.facebook.com/CCRbackshop/videos/797152513686865/ Mike posts "Still need to tune the engine and break it in. 80lbs of pressure at idle. Exhaust is next". Pretty awesome milestone!

@Mechnizer posted some updates. Love the first look at my @Trollhole top! Feeling like my crack is showing though. ;) A little stretching and adjustment seems in order.

@LasCrucer, so true. I can honestly say that consciously I didn't think it would go this way and this long. My perspective has changed a ton. But hey, I'm closer today than I was back then. :)
