Here's my project.
Hi All
I got this Mutt about 1 month ago, have a just started to pick up the parts to put it back together. It is uncut but missing a lot of the little stuff. I will be picking your brains here soon. What do you guys think of it? Thanks Russ

Welcome to G838. Nice M151. It looks to be in better shape than mine was when I started. How is the underside

Re: Here's my project.
Other than the really ugly paint scheme it looks like a very solid mutt. Where in NJ are you located? I am right next to Ft. Dix.

Re: Here's my project.
Thanks guys!
The unibody is very solid underneath. There is about a 6 inch hole in the cross channel under the drivers feet, and the bottom of the battery box needs to be replaced otherwise it is good to go. Rick I am in West Windsor, the jeep is in Dayton, near south brunswick, 1 mile from Exit 8A. Dan you still have that extra hard top of mine!

HTN is right. These vehicles are inherently dangerous, especially to the uninitiated. Therefore, to ensure your future safety, and being the public spirited kind of guy I am, I recommend you ship it prepaid, to 92260, Pike County Road 9236, Clarksville Mo., 63336. Remember, safety should be priority one, so the sooner you get it out of your possession and into mine, the safer you'll be

From: "Russ70@aol.com" <Russ70@aol.com>View contact details To: danieljwroten@yahoo.comHi Dan I just got an email from the boys from texas saying you have my hardtop.Where are you located? I am in central NJ. Please give me a call so I can come by and pick up the top.Or send me your number and I will give you a call. Thanks for helping me out with getting the top.
Russ. I am sorry but "YOUR" hard top was one of two I droped off in Kansas on the 15th of last month, if you still want it you will have to make a deal with kb0jyl, he is a member on this Forum. I kept it in storage for 19 months so I thought it was time I got "MY" $100.00 back so I used it for a trade. kb0jyl is a very nice person so I'm sure you can work something out with him.

Re: Here's my project.
Dan, I'm just giving you a hard time!
You were very nice to pick it up and store it as long as you did! I am sorry for not picking it up.
Maybe I'll find another now that I actually have a Mutt.
