It is a sickness....

Well I decided sometime last winter that I needed to thin the herd and went from 9 jeeps down to three... For some reason I can't stay off craigslist and came across a 56 Willys pick up for sale with very minimal rust. It's one of the nicest I have seen unrestored. There is a catch though... It was pulled apart 25 years and two owners ago and never put back together. It's in boxes and like a huge jigsaw puzzle. The nuts in the cowl to bolt the fenders on are so nice you can run bolts in them by hand and the step parts of the fenders still have nice oval bolt holes instead of huge cancer holes. I don't have a rig running right now that can tow but the guy offered to deliver for fuel cost :mrgreen: I should have it in two weeks and I'll post some pictures. This one may sit a while as there are three projects ahead of it....

Oh and I bought two parts jeeps with it that are restorable too.... I think I need a 9 step program.

I wish I could run up on deals like this. I love being this kind of sick. :shock:

You are fine, there is no sickness... in case you get buyer's remorse, PM and I won't tell anybody that you sold it to ME... have fun!

Dude that sounds like fun. If nothing else you can get it further along than the other owner and pass it along to someone to finish.

If there is enough left of the parts jeeps to build one when you are done hit me up, I want one of these or a wagon

I agree. That's why I'm cutting back to just one project and 2 daily runners. Once the Eagle is finished, the Comanche goes for sale (after I put the 4.10s in and put the 33/9.5/15s back on) Then over winter I'll be working on making Black Jack a daily driver and sell the Eagle when it's done. (or my wife will sell her Kia and keep Black Jack for herself)
