Thought some members might get a kick out of this. I started on this jeep for my son around the same time as I started on the convertible. Just got it going for the big jeep show 2 weeks ago where my son won best restored jeep.

At least you didn't have to do anything major to it.

WOW!!! Impressive work and results
That is a huge understatement. I love to see your kid's interest too, you obviously have a wealth of knowledge. Great to see the next generation, in your corner of the world, will be passing on some of that knowledge too.

I just discovered this somehow.
As everyone else has said - fabulous work!
When I was a kid I often thought there would be some old-world craftsmen, perhaps Japanese, that could take razorblades and scrape a slab of wood to perfect flatness and smoothness. For whatever purpose that would be.
You are apparently in that in that class, the photo of the caravan skeleton (and this car, of course) shows that.
BTW - have you seen these photos? They show differences amongst the pace car variants, in the lettering, grab handles, wheelcovers, engine emblems, and other details.
I got them during a visit to the Speedway Museum some years ago, so they could be considered legitimate references. Other than knowing what the differences signify.

Thank you for your kind words. They are neat photos. I do have them in my collection. I have around 100 different photos from the track day and also the week leading up to it, along with lots of newspaper clippings from the months prior. I will have to sit down and upload them one day to share with others.

First time out of the shed for a few months. Took it for a little drive around town to blow out the cobwebs.

Finally got around to sorting the crappy speedo face. Bought one of the sticker kits from ebay.
Looks great! Glad to see someone is making these for you.

Very nice! Should the front of your radiator core support be blacked out? I think it should.

Been a year since my last post. Time sure gets away. I have probably only had the convertible out 3 times in the last year which is a shame. Life seems to get in the way. Gave it a good detail and took it and my 58 to our Chrysler Expo last weekend. Hoping to get it out and about a bit more soon as I intend on doing a 2000 mile road trip in it next March.
