If your other options don't play out just know these are available from Classic...good quality, good service.

Made it home. Some rough driving until I got south of Rockford about 20 miles.
Had a great time and saw some jeepers that I hadn’t seen for some time. Like always Joe did a great job and I want to thank him for the lunch.

We had another great time at the 2023 Jeeps in January!

Good to see everyone and to start off the 2023 Willy's Event Season

Thank you to Joe for your hospitality in hosting and sharing your awesome collection.

Jpet and I too had some very rough driving until South of Rockford, IL. 

Look forward to seeing you all again this Spring.

Big thanks to Joe for putting on a great event.

I might of misspoke earlier but I wanted to clarify.

Solid to Solid shrink is why the pattern has to be larger than the part ( think bath tub leg example)
Liquid to solid shrink is what makes your part have voids inside the metal unless you feed it with a proper feeder.



Again I had a great time and it was good to see old friends from near and far.

Dominic and I had a great time! Thank you Joe for hosting again!!!!

Dominic is still smiling - I am not sure how many Mad City Miles he has around your shop in your jeep but he would probably still be circling if he could!

We had a fun time driving home - left a little after 6 pm and arrived home at 9 pm - generally it is a 1.5 hr trek - broke out of the storm about 10 miles from home.

Thanks again!!

First and foremost - thank you to Joe for the generosity and hospitality! It was terrific to make it back after a two year hiatus! 

What an event! On Friday, we flew into Midway, about 2 hours away from Madison, due to flight schedules and so on. But that became just a part of this adventure. We stopped on the way to view the Klairmont Collection housed in Cicero. It was incredible! We ate what we theorize was raccoon at a local diner. We drove through a snow storm to Milwaukee and loaded up on Usingers. Then we finally made it to Reverend Jims around 630 to meet and greet. 

On Saturday, it was great to see old friends and meet new. The casting demonstration was fascinating. The Jeep talk never stopped! And of course viewing Joe's collection is always a highlight! 

All said - the most memorable moment for me was driving Joe's Jeep in the snow on the trail he set up. It's been forever since I did any trail riding in the snow, in a stock flatty! I couldn't feel my hands with temps in the teens. But I didn't care. I couldn't stop smiling. It was a great moment! 

Back on the east coast now, inspired to keep on pushing on the 46 project! Thanks all who organized and attending this event. It was great to see everyone! 

 

Here's a few from Klairmont. It's a worthy take!
