Yes sir - appreciate it Robert!  Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Nick!  Here's to a wonderful 2024 filled with lots of canvas orders my friend!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Dave!  Here's to 2024!Mr Pullup was indeed very happy to see Murph in an almost finished state, although he is feeling a little guilty for bailing out on a good bit of the work 😂

The sorting process always amazes me....but is also incredibly critical to getting a reliable vehicle.  In the excitement of "getting finished", I sometimes forget that I still will encounter numerous problems before everything works right.  This also seems to happen regardless of how careful I am.   Kinda reminds me of NASA v SpaceX.....NASA tries to make everything perfect right off the bat and still ends up having challenges but they move so slowly.  SpaceX assumes and accepts multiple failures and tries to set themselves up in a way that the failures don't cause too much damage.  Move, test, fail, fix, repeat, succeed.  Not a perfect metaphor for a jeep restoration, but I think there are elements of that philosophy that apply.

Happy New Year!

Thanks Jay!  Yea.....that exhaust thing wasn't so good😂  It wasn't that long...but the jeep was smoking pretty good.....and my fan wasn't keeping up.  I wasn't in there very long before I got it out.  Appreciate all the support and the kind words.  Here's to a great 2024!

Thank you Dana!  Santa sent me a really special present this week!  🤩 Happy Holidays to you and your family my friend!

Thank you Nick....we made a little more progress today....getting real close!

Sort of like a dog year in reverse! 😂

Robert Lukes Yes sir....I may have burned my leg on my other jeep when I didn't get the muffler quite tucked under correctly.   We made a little progress today...still not quite there, but sooo close.

Best wished during this holiday season to you and your family!

I love that story!  I was laughing out loud ;-)  I still like the look of that tight wrap though....but I understand that it is not a good way to carry a rope if that rope may be needed toot suite!
