hey all!
I'm 36. grew up wrenching on jeeps just to keep them running. I have learned a lot along the way. I learned out of necessity, saw something that needed to be done and bought the tools to teach myself how to do it. I just bought a 57 wagon that seems like it was buried in the bottom of a salt mine. it is rough. My initial plan is to do a frame swa/ body drop with a 04 Yukon Denali that I converted to 2wd. the wheelbase is 1 in longer. but the track width needs to be narrowed 4". modern suspension and steering, disk brakes at all 4 corners. cheap air ride system and an iron block 6.0/4l80e. I know it's not traditional, but it's what makes me smile. I know I need to make some connections in the local trip five groups. right off the bat I need all new floors and rockers. everything 6" from the rocker down is basically dust. any Tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated. Tom the guy I bought it from is great and has tons and tons of parts/ cores for sale in central Michigan.
