                  This is the jeep that me and dad built together! 

 

 This jeep was given to my dad by my boss at the time (Thanks again pete) in 1997 or 98 it had been siting in a garage for 12 years and was in very bad shape the floor boards where gone and it had road sings riveted in there place and the body had several 1/8 inch plates riveted over all the rust holes and there was about 10-12 inches of the frame that was rusted away on the back of the frame and the gas tanks had 50 something pin hole's in it. But hey it was free and that ain't bad so after we ripped of the sears brand hard top and did a tune up it cranked over a couple of time's and fired right up and idled all by it's self so we ripped the body of the frame and replaced the frame and fixed all the rust, lifted it and after a whole lot of work here we are he has one hell of a jeep that is damner unstopable here are some of the pic's we have pics of when we started but i need to find out how we can get them from pic's to a cd and get good quality pic's so i can put them on here.
