BRINGING HER TO CHICAGO



November 8, 2013:  Skip forward four years from the time of the initial engine teardown.  The real world takes priority and the project comes to a halt for four years as the dust gathers in the barn and the jeep loses my attention for other endeavors to include competition shooting, coaching kids sports teams, finishing the basement, completing my Bachelors Degree, Cub Scouts, a promotion to Master Sergeant and subsequent transfer to Chicago and other nameless projects. No military vehicle restoration deserves to go that long without attention and it's time to commence the project once again.  I traveled back home to Ohio in order to transport the Jeep to Chicago to begin the process where I left off.  Thanks for the help loading up Brian Crim, Jesse Brandewie, JD Manual, and of course the best father-in-law in the world, Dave Roeth.  Not sure where I would be without his help in all of this.  A one day trip turned into a couple of very late nights but made it safely back to Chicago and the jeep is unloaded into the garage with some help from Jeff Lawson.
