also, before you start "throwing things away" mind if I poke through what is left, collecting parts for something.

feel free, I have a trash barrel full of bondo and windows and rusty metal, there really isn't anything thats worth keeping.

so this weekend, I got the original frame(what was left of it) out from under the body. got it off the trailer, on some stands and stripped the floor out as well as the front and rear windows,(which weren't factory) someone has done a horrible job installing "said" windows and as you see from the pictures they pretty much ruined the rear of the car trying to customize it. which is OK, I have plans for it.

I rolled the TJ frame under the body and it looks as though it is going to fit just wonderful. and it is the PERFECT length to allow about 105-110" wheelbase.
here are some more recent photos.








HERE IT IS ON THE TJ FRAME

that is a 37" tire, I am hoping to be riding on 40s

Struggle Buggy  ??? I thought Ken called it a really cool stupid thing?

Body is a lot rougher than the photos show, but the juices were loose last night (could have been the cold bud's)

I have seen that before somewhere.... I really am not a fan at all of T buckets whether they be roadsters or pickups. they just never hit me right, I think it was the munsters that ruined them for me.
