I sold the 83 CJ-7 that my sons and I built yesterday. We built it several years ago as a way to get my then young boys into the garage and away from the video games. I gotta say I was kind of sad to watch it go down the driveway for the last time. Lots of good memories in that truck. A woman who is an advertizing exec bought it to relive her high school days and her old CJ. Here is the new owner and her jeep. She was a very happy girl.


So........I am now on the hunt for my next project.

Nice looking Jeep. I just bought a 97 TJ for my daughter a few months ago, raised 4". She loves it. Seems to wander a bit steering wise but I'll figure it out...

Now what are you going to fill the void with?

Swap out the steering box. Don't remember the item number but I am pretty sure is the same box as in our cars so you should be able to go to a tight ratio. Also check the bushings in the front springs. Mine were junk when I got the jeep and it was a battle to keep it going straight. Make sure you have the pitman arm for a lifted jeep. Lots of guys cheap out and don't change it.

As far the empty stall. I am going to take my time to decide what to fill it up with. More than likely it will be one of these three. 1) another 1 gen bird, a Ford model A roadster, a c-4 corvette roadster.

how about an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider? yrs beteween 1956-1965? that would be my choice

Funny you should say that. I have thought about some sort of european sports car and have always loved Alfas.

those Alfas are beautiful, some lines of the Firebirds there too

thx Ill put it on the hoist and check that all out...

My new ride is supposed to be here this weekend.
1988 Corvette roadster 56000 original miles.

That's a LOT of red! Nice job! Will you adopt me?

I think your list is longer than mine!

But that's why I need you to adopt me! Someone's gotta pay the bills!

Got a cousin in NJ who used to be a technical trainer for Alfa and just built one of those Zipper Motors modified roadsters with V-6 Alfa power. Not exactly what you're talking about but worth mentioning. He put something like 2,500 hours into the project.
