I am definitely going to have a serious sit down with Dennis since he did disassemble that engine!😂  Thanks as always for your support. I think I am going to hide the comment from my bride...twice in one week she hears that she is doing great camera work....its coming!

Yes sir....it will move, although I am pretty sure the repro speedometer is off by a good amount.  It says 65!...but we have used a few apps and it is accurate at 35mph....at 50mph we are really doing 44/45....so I am guessing 65 indicated is probably around 55...still moving faster than feels comfortable, although as I said...the jeep feels stable.

Jay Turnbull The most successful people I know seem to take one of two forms:  high sensitivity/low threshold/tolerance for chaos vs an uncanny ability to ignore the blaze and "fly the airplane".  The later model makes for an unpredictable, exciting and often chaotic experience but can lead to success outside of the "envelope" if the test pilot survives the fire.  I think I am a little schizo....the two archetypes duking it out to see which style wins....🤔

Thanks for the feedback John.  I just created a new "channel" - called "Universal Man"....because it is such a big world out there.  The first video is 30 minutes on moving hives/capturing swarms.  My goal long term with Portrayal.tv is to add other channels.  I am talking with a firearm restorer about doing a show on just that - super high level of craftsmanship and fascinating.  I have a friend who is an extraordinary Windsor chair maker....etc.  The goal is "Netflix" for "gearheads" or "makers" etc....all hopefully without the silliness that you find on cable.

That's what happens when you stay married to the same woman for 27 years!  She figures you out😂  Appreciate it Pierre - super happy with how Murph came out and the more I drive it...the better it drives. 

Seems to be a popular request!  😂  On it sir!

Am I to interpret your comment as meaning you would like to see a T84 rebuild video?  Is that what you are saying Nick? 

Thank you for the thoughtful words Jay.  My grandfather was Mr. Fixit too...a real product of the Great Depression.  Love your grandfather's quote...there is indeed great joy in "putting things in order"....  Reminds me of the real "renaissance man" quote too...."jack of all trades, master of none, but almost always better than a master of one".....You get me thinking...what is with the increase in chaos required to put everything in order?  That riddle might take a Scotch or two to unravel...if unraveling is even possible....

Thank you Dana - really pleased with the stencils and how Murph is looking.  I have not done the glass, but will for next week....looking forward to it!

Thanks Dave!  We will show the original photo next week - we have a couple of things left to finish on Murph and we will do the "big reveal"...😀Dennis has a place in upstate NY...he was hanging out and didn't show up for work.  We put a note in his file!
