well , I couldn't get it out of my thumb , so I had a lot of time to think about it ! It took a pair of vise grips and some force to get the 1/2 long piece out ...... it almost went all the way through. Believe it or not it's healing up just fine , not going to lose the nail and really doesn't even hurt anymore ...

this was just taken this morning , so one week out :

ok , enough about the thumb , and back on topic .... I have got it to the point that I drive it around last night , tail lights turn signals and all work as they should , I still have to put the dash back together and make some shock hoops on the front and get the shocks installed.

momma decided the other day that she wanted me to put a back seat in it , scored one last night for next to nothing and it's even tan .... Going to replace the stock tank with a RCI cell .

For the most part It's done , Stage One complete .

Stay tuned for Stage Two .... it should get interesting from here...

Organized is not the word I would use for my garage right now . It looks loike a bomb went off ...... I am going to pull the Jeep out here in a few days and do a complete spring cleaning and reorganize the whole thing....... that should last at least a week

haha, yeah actually I meant I like HOW you have it organized.... not how organized it is ;)

It's inspired me and might do some rearranging this weekend.

by the way. on my last build up I smashed middle finger nail so bad that I thought about running a drill bit through it. Maybe not that big of one though.

That finger healing up alright?

sarge · 05-20-2011, 02:27 PM

amazingly well , didn't even loose the nail , still a little tender down deep but not too painful. I got lucky I guess.

Another note , Jeep is done except for inner fenders and rock lights , now I can't keep my 17 year old out of it. :)
