lazy days in the garage

guess the title tells a little about my day today.....up early and off to Mass....then waiting for
John to show up to eat our Easter Lunch.....kids and the sungoddess off to the beach.....
of course my bride made me promise to NOT start working on any of the Jeeps today...she pointed out that it was a holiday and all the neighbors had family visiting and she didn't want her house looking like hillbillies.....well, since the longroof didn't have any brake lights, and technically it is NOT a jeep, then I figured it would be alright to work on it....besides, she had just left for the beach and they will be there for several hours....plenty of time to diagnos and repair a faulty brake light....a simple matter of disassembling the skid plate from the old baby and there the switch sat....real simple and an hour later those all important brake lights were working again.....following couple of photos don't have anything to do with the longroof....got the new old jeep back after a couple of weeks of body work.....re-fabricate the tool box and repair a couple of floors spots and a complete sanding and primer and it is now ready for final paint, put the correct seats in and she looks much better......yellow with yellow wheels by next week I hope.....oh, spent an hour trying to figure out why she wouldn't start.....I had just filled the tank before I took it for body work and she ran great then......should have thought to check the fuel tank.....got no idea where those 10 gallons of gas went while the kid had it.....just glad he didn't wreck it.....





































days like this allow us to.........

CELEBRATE LIFE...........

FIRE ENGINE RED.................

Yellow is like asking the local yokals to keep an eye on it.....

well ok, yellow is better than pink......

Can I bring the Barngoddess's bronc down and have the same project done for 10 gallons of petro???? cheap job for what the results are.

Cold and too rainy to go to the game today. Just as well,

Cards fell in the tenth 8-7.
So tomorrow we will win. Too bad we have to work, or the Little Princess and I would be at the
"ole ballpark"
