Welcome @jc_chandler and @cneglia!
cneglia - That is very cool!
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to stop in and say hello. I'm a new member and am currently building an 8 now. I've got a 1981 that I picked up in November and have recently started my build. Building one of these scramblers has been a long time goal of mine. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am that I'm finally getting the chance to build one. Overall goal for this scrambler is to build it into a traveling/camping/fishing rig. I started an Instagram already @overlandcj8 but I'm planning to start a build thread here as well. Here's a picture of the jeep the day I brought it home.View attachment 83876
Wecome! I didn't know that the black came with the orange decals as an option. My son's '81 has the silver.
Ooooh...love Sherwood green!Thanks! I think it's the shadow and the black front fender that's misleading. The factory color is actually sherwood green.

As you can see I love cars all my buddies at work always ask me what new or old car will I have next I always tell them you never can tell.
I love all kinds of hobbies as well:
Gold dredging prospecting been doing this for about 16 yrs now
Metal Detecting been doing this sine the late 70's when my father got me started
Cowboy action shooting still going strong after almost 4 yrs now heading out to NM this month for the world championship at Edgewood N.M. http://www.sassnet.com Check it out
Was into Hodaka motorcycles still dable in them restored a Hodaka 1970 chrome tank Superat from the ground up.
Remote control airplanes
and just about anything else that might come along
Anyways I am glad to be a member of this great forum and enjoy the comradery you all show to new people such as myself.
Just joined tonight, I bought my first CJ with lawn mowing money (and parents help) when I was 16. Bought my scrambler in 2002. Im now in San Diego but when I was in Hawaii I did total restorations on jeeps and similar rigs for 15 years. I will admit I will be more of a lurker than a poster
