yeah so i spend the last couple of weeks working on the baby jeep so that i would have something to wheel at winterfest...

hope to get some work done on it this afternoon and maybe tommorrow...i close on a garage with a house on friday, have til end of april to get out of current location...so in the next 6 - 7 weeks i can promise i will have to get it standing on it own legs with motor mounts...cause that's what it will take to get it out of the garage and onto the trailer...

mac 'yes quit wheelin and get to work...i will' gyvr
