I hope that won't be seen as Cultural Appropriation. You may have to give them back!  ::)

Both of our Cherokees had someplace where mice could get in and build nests in the hearer housing/ducts. All of our vehicles have small bags of Plantskydd in various places to discourage rodents. She just have it thrown on the floor.

My wife's Grand Native American appropriated name Jeep is still in the shop waiting for the Biden reduced workforce to deliver & install a transfer case. This is it's 15th  day in captivity and parts were ordered before it went in. It may be their way of pushing us to get a new one & lose the lifetime warranty. It won't work.  ;D

Yep, that's a great deal, my dad purchased a home warranty policy from Sears and Roebuck many years ago for like $18.00 a year, he cashed in on that deal many times. They only offered it for just a couple years, he would renew his policy every year I think they ended up buying the policy back from him

Still haven't heard today.  :( Maybe if the offered a new Jeep then I could drive it until the dealer warranty ran out and but a Toyota.  ;D

So last night I had this weird dream about mass spiders at my work.  We had to evacuate the building.
I get to work today and while finishing the 8.1ltr Tahoe leather kit,  I see this out of the corner of my eye.  😳
The other weird thing.  It's winter.

This is what im working on today. 31 chevy,  right hand drive.  It's actually a prop for a local water park.  He says it used to drive. Has a more modern 6 in it.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Nice, what are you doing to it? Do you think it was originally r/h drive?

Cool! Probably would not be hard to get it going again. Chevy sixes are very forgiving.

Looks original according to the steering box.
We are doing a new top with long grain vinyl, the rear seating area and carpet.
He just had a new vinyl wrap put on it with the logos.

Had to replace some rotted wood in the roof and laid down some landau foam. They had carpet pad up there before.
Stapled the new top on just before the end of the day.
One thing I noticed is how nice his gauges were.  If they were original they aged well.
The battery looks from the 90's.

Can you tell what engine is in it? Does the wood look home made?

It's been a little slow here........Anyway, here's what I have been doing: I pulled out the a/c box and ordered an a/c delete box from The Parts Place. The inner fenderwell had to come out first. I installed the headers, and ripped out the old exhaust.
