I addition to that Mike, I really got to thinking last night... We need to get a Canadian MUTT Registry going. I'd love to see just how many are out there being collected, and get that information compiled somewhere.
On another positive note, the project yard stick moved ahead some more today. My MUTT is now Legally mine and Insured. I walked away from the DMV today with my spanky new Registration Green Slip (Unfit until I get it Safety Inspected), and to add icing to the cake, my Insurance Company didn't even skip a beat giving me a policy for my "1979, American Motors Corporation, Jeep, 2 Dr, Open Top"
Don't ask.. But at least its in the system now
After it gets a full restoration, i'll look into an Appraisal, more specific Insurance Coverage and some Veteran Plates for it.
This afternoon I was able to get a good portion of the Uniframe repaired. I'm starting to see the finish line in the welding now. No pics, forgot the camera again.
Rob, ya, point taken on the US/UK Open Fire Policy. My first Blackhawk ride I was kinda surprised at the manner that they test fired their Door Guns
