Got the fenders and grill off yesterday.

Going to pull engine and tranny sometime this week. Then work on stripping the rest of the stuff off the frame so we can sand blast it.

Don't waste your time with the POR-15 and similar products. When you sandblast it, you may consider getting it powder coated. If I could do mine again, that's the way I would go!

BTW: I had the most fun working on the frame... nothing like blasting away brown dried on gum-like grease and dirt!  ;D

Well it been a little more than later in the week but it's out. Will have to try to keep the momentum going. Jenn keeps distracting me with snapped axles, bearing failure,  a smoked winch, building her D44s .

   I'm thinking that calling yourself "Mr.Jeepnharleymomma" might have been an error....  :D
