It's not easy being green
Hey guys. I've been lurking for the most part for the better part of a year. Here is what I posted in my intro thread about me purchasing my dad's 81 Scram back in the fall
The Scram sat under a cover at dad's since November since I didn't have a place for it and it didn't have a top or doors. It took a lot of effort but with the help of this site the user rispony came through and we traded on some hard doors and a half cab. If you haven't checked out his build thread you definitely should. Can't say enough for the dude, he jumped through hoops to help me out and I'm forever grateful.
I've got a kid on the way (due Sept) so I've got to stick to a budget build. The first focus is going to be on making the thing drive and ride as good as possible. I'll be trying to handle the body stuff here and there with the hope that I can get it in a nice, shiny coat of paint in the next year or so.
Enough talking, let's get to work!

Hey guys. I've been lurking for the most part for the better part of a year. Here is what I posted in my intro thread about me purchasing my dad's 81 Scram back in the fall
My dad purchased the Scrambler for his wife (my step-mom) in the Spring. He's a handyman by trade and some guy offered it to him for $500 and some traded work. The truck does not have a top (besides a bikini top) and does not have doors so they were in the process of trying to find those things so that she could drive it in the Fall. Soon after the truck was purchased my step-mom passed away unexpectedly. The Jeep has sat in Dad's garage untouched for months now. Last week he came over to the house and asked me if I wanted to purchase the truck for $1000 as he can't bring himself to drive/work on it. Naturally, I accepted under the condition that if I wanted to get rid of it in the future that he gets first shot at it. I'm was not really ready for a new project but I don't think I can turn this one down.
