Any Car Builders out There?

This was our highway car, been cross country a few times and never a problem, even gets pretty decent fuel mileage. Now it's going to be on a trailer behind the tourmaster as we start our new adventure.

There’s still a few Jeep CJ’s around Texas anyway that aren’t too rusty. I sold a CJ7 and CJ5 project not too long ago. And they’re still way way cheaper than the early Broncos.

My CJ-7

Nice CJ !

I've been looking for a CJ3B for years. One that I have known for 35 years in the Pacific NW came up for sale a few years ago and I didn't jump on it. I've been kicking myself over that ever since.

Before, during and after pics of my wife’s fun car. She’s always loved the old ponies and I was able to totally surprise her with this for her 50th birthday. I didn’t do it myself, just had it done for her. Sneaking around for inspection/decision visits, making phone calls, hiding texts and weekly update pics from her was a bit stressful at times.

Both the wife and the car are ‘67 models….one is all original and one is not.

Lots of fun, but I’ve decided everyone should have an RV and a classic car so they’ll always have something to work on.

This was my latest project. Surprised my father in law at Christmas. 1 owner 63 fuelie. Parked since the early 70s (odd but cool back story)
No so much a resto as get it back on the road. Still needs work but it lives again.

[vroom_vroom]

Board if you can’t tell lol.

My never ending project is a 77 trans am, built aluminum 400 Pontiac with wayyyyyy too many hours in it. All new sheet metal from the doors back. Cracked 500 with broken lifters……… lol.
Need to get an over drive trans, ac, and sticky tires on it this summer as I have put 3k on it in 10 years. Helluva good time but there is zero traction and it’s too hot in the desert for no ac.
Wife helped me pull and rebuild the motor and change to a hydraulic clutch set up during Rona.

Very nice. Try to run no-ethanol gas in it. Those old fuelie units don't like ethanol.

Here’s two of my favorites. The Bronco I bought in ‘83, the girl I met in ‘87…still got ‘em both.

This was my winter project for a good friend. Vintage Air, complete new wiring from taillight to headlight adding power windows, auto on off headlights along with some other more modern features. New interior except the seats which were in good shape.
Car has a healthy fuel injected sb with a 4 speed but the plan is a 540 and 4 link suspension next. Going to be awhile yet but when its done it should be a fun car that he plans to do a cross country trip with.

Running 100oct race gas from day one after having it rebuilt. Was mildly surprised how easily I got it to kick over, I’m sure race gas helps lol. Still need to play with the valves a little more. Set them up to spec but still obnoxiously loud even for a solid cam.
