How much can we do? I just got a lead on a Stude that was parked in a back yard 10-15 years ago that may have a usable front clip. I guess that...

Sad ain't the word! She's gonna sit for a while, but we'll make a "Phoenix" of some sort; 'cause the engine will still turn over. I don't think...
"Pops" here- all this HAMB attention is "embarrassking". Coupla things ta add to this tale of woe. The first thing I did when getting the car...
Well, ya shit in yer nest, didn't ya! I say leave it alone and drive to serve as a bad example- besides, it'll make all yer other shit look good!
Some drag racers "back in the day" would cut an extra keyway in the shaft to help it out. One piece axles will work better. They may be "light...
Let's ask DaTinman how to blow sparks outta his bunghole- or maybe it ain't funny yet...
Ya need to get this pile. They run like a turpentined cat! Ours would run an indicated 120 mph in low range. (Just glad Dad never found out...)
Do it again! A faster box and a suicide knob should get ya with the "big boys". Woo-hoo! Looks like great fun!

Older Jeeps use'm too. They'd probably be a little more substantial; might give it try.
I'm a sucker for "puzzles*"; I'll go $75. * I bought a "pile-o-parts" Jeep last year, with some major pieces missing...
Let me jump in here with some real world experience. ATV- couple of thorn holes, plugged, and it got the wobbles. I put in some slime type...
