thanks Ken, we are moving to Wisconsin this summer so I'm hoping I can take it with us in one piece. The house we are buying has a 2,000 ft driveway so I'll need something to plow it with ;D

So I moved to southern Wisconsin on the 4th of July. My good-hearted, super-reasonably-priced body man STILL would not just commit and finish the damned thing so we decided to part ways. I picked it up yesterday and after a couple hours of loading it up hit the road and got home just before dark.

Sadly there's not much original metal left on the old girl - except the hood, grille, most of the cowl/firewall, seat platform, windshield frame, bumpers, and doors - but it had to be done :cry:

So i'll likely cover the 66 for a while to preserve the paint-readiness as I have tons of other priorities right now. 72 is in desperate need of a new PS pump (just ordered from WH a few mins ago) and I gotta repair, install and make functional a plow I picked up for it before the snow falls. Not to mention replacing all windows and lots of cedar siding on the house. But man is it beautiful out here in the country! And my 66 is finally home after 3 1/2 years ;D stay tuned -Jeff

Good luck Buddy,. I'll let you know if I'm ever heading up by you. And if you are ever down by me I'll have some cold ones ready. You have a great looking garage. Here is a peak at mine.

thanks guys, Ron that garage is way too clean! I have swept mine already about 10 times and my wife wonders why i don't do that in the house. Oh and do I spy a Bronco diaper? I change mine once a month ;D At least the 66 won't need one of those for a while, take care

Nice shop you got there Jeff. Congrats on getting moved and settled in. I didn't know Ron was moving also. Both of your places look nice. Living in the country is great.

Nice place brother.. Do one thing at a time get your stuff done. If only life didn't get in the way so much LOL

Hey I tell you what Ken, I think I really lucked out on this property. Not only is it bordered by state forest, man it just seems like there's always deer in the yard
