:-p
made some progress today, got pretty much everything that was bolted to the frame off, few stubborn bolts to deal with still...  
need to do some cleaning up & then paint it
not sure what paint to use, some ideas, but still not sure

my dad and i got the frame unbolted & flipped it over so i can work on the bottom of it easier

can\'t wait to see the tub....don\'t forget to share pictures when you get it.

It\'s awesome that your dad is working on this with you...this may be your best project ever, one you\'ll remember for sure.
Good to have some of dad\'s cash too ! sorta like a sponsor.

My son\'s been wheelin twice now at Whispering Pines (missed Rausch)and has the itch for a Jeep. Hopefully someday I can do the same with him.
