story of my life :) .. it's ok i bought a neat old brown and boogs machine the other day, i was gonna start a bead roller picture thread but i'm having way too much fun keeping square in suspense !!

great work .. i like how you matched the factory bead in the floor

well after an 8 month hiatus... still nothing has been done to the Jeep...
BUT she is now sitting in my garage!!! WOO HOO!!!
now i have a few finishing touches to do to the garage. just finished gutting, rewiring, insulating, drywalling and in the organizing stage. i will start to update this thread more often once i start working on it.

Big thanks again to K5 for trailering the Scrambler here and for letting me keep it at the shop for the past year!!! and thanks to Sibbles for letting me borrow the trailer. and of course Helloonurse for letting K5 borrow her truck to pull the trailer... and above all... i'd like to thank the Acadamy.....

well here is a bit of an update. havent actually done any work to her since i've been working on the fuel injection on Red October.
but now she will no longer be known as "Scrambled Seven"
I officially have an Ontario Ownership for her!!! I was able to use the US vin plate and ownership that i got and "imported" it to Canada!!! SWEET!!!

Had I followed the build sooner I could have easily set you up with a tag and paperwork. I've collected jeep tags and ownerships since my teenage years and have boxes full of various years and models. Yes some of which are cj8's.

Here's the last update for this build thread...

This Scrambler is no longer being built.
Tub and title have been sold.

there will be a new build starting soon.
