Boyink! - Spring Forward on the Web

I’d like to welcome another CJ6 Restoration Blog to the internet - Jeep-Jitsu, where author Tim in Tennessee will be covering the restoration of “Lil’ Rusty Red” - a pretty stock looking 1967 CJ6 equipped with the Buick Dauntless V6, Warn Overdrive, 4:88 gears and a Meyer hardtop.  Have fun with it Tim!

Here are a few pics from the past few weeks.  This first one I took because I liked the “City mouse, country mouse” feel to it with the Jeep parked next to the City Flats Hotel downtown Holland.
