so I began working on the pile.
first I have to thank mike, he did a terrific job on this jeep. It is the best running, driving jeep I have ever been in.
I immediatly removed the top and doors, jeeps need to be open and airy. (Especially for me to fit in them!)
Then I started the removal of everything on the body getting it ready for bodywork preparation.

I too agree that this is a good running 2A and Mike did a great job bringing it back from just "A Pile."
Glad it has a good new home and I hope Rob enjoys it!
Keep us posted on the body progress!
