Almost done....never!

Got the Jeep out of the garage and drove around the block. Found a few leaks that need to be fixed in the brake system, but overall, things are working well. The generator is still a problem. A new voltage regulator is on the way and that should get the electrons flowing to charge the batteries.

Remaining major items, in addition to the generator, are mount the rear seat, add the canvas top when it arrives next month, and touch up the paint, bolt heads, scratches, etc.

After rebuilding and/or restoring several airplanes, I know that this Jeep project, like the airplanes, will never be 100%. There will always be a list of little things that need to be improved upon, or touched up just a bit. As we start to drive it around town, and to some of the local events, we will find things that we want to improve, or make better.

We hope to drive the Jeep some before we park it for the winter and head back to our sailboat. Next month is the Taylor Corn Festival, which has classic cars on display. Last year we saw a military Jeep there, so we hope to drive up to Taylor and put this one on display.
