So I hit Craigslist to find a new old frame and it didn't take long. I found a 89 frame and a tub in great condition in North Mississippi...a 3 hour trip one way. The tub was a bonus since it would save me lots of time and money on body work. On an Thursday, My wife (Janna), a friend(Mingle) and I loaded up and hit the road. $100 in gas, 7 hours, 6 energy drinks and 3 pit stops later, we were back home with the parts Jeep. Now, we have the Jeep and we have the parts Jeep...What else do we need? We need a WE...meaning I need help. I struck a deal with two friends (David and Mingle), which included beer for them everyday they helped work on the Jeep. They couldn't wait to get started the next weekend.
Sunday - It hasn't rained in over 6 weeks and there's a chance of thunderstorms tonight. I'm watching the Walking Dead Marathon and the weather is starting to get hairy. The wind is blowing, lawn chairs are sliding across the porch, trees are swaying...here comes the rain and then, right in the middle of the season finale of Walking Dead, I hear a crash. A 125 foot tall tree with a diameter quite a bit larger than my Jeep tires has smashed through the middle of our shop.
Now, we're building a new shop, so we can build the Jeep. Stay tuned...
