Don't worry. You have plenty of time to be ready for Colorado.

It's rough but runs decent. Plans are not a restoration but just a 'usable' jeep.
Was thinking just an easy, cheap repaint when I brought it home but quickly got overruled by a then three year old pal (and his grandmother) so I named it and it became the Zebra jeep.
He's five today so I better get started on it before he graduates.

No bolts?....no problem, 1/2" bar stock welded to frame and fender. (both front fenders are welded to the grill also)
The nail cotter pin? Can't say much about that 'cause I've been guilty of that myself.

Piddlin'......weather's been decent and I was needing a break from the 'House Project'.
Drove it all around the neighborhood last weekend without a speck of brakes.....none whatsoever. Felt good just to have it move without pushing it.
Left over 10" brakes from the parts pile should get it stopping.
