Blasts from the Past !

 Ever seen a Pre-CJ6 ??

I was browsing around the 'net and stumbled across g503.com and some interesting pictures.  While flipping through some pics of some Ford and Willys MBs I came across this odd picture that has a striking resemblance to a CJ-6.  I have nick-named them "Pre-CJ6's"

Then I found a link to several pictures of these "stretched" MB Jeeps. 
Below are the best of the ones I found.

Hardtop and rollbar removed with a little helper...

For the most part, I was able to remove all the nuts and bolts that held the Meyers CJ6 hardtop together without too much trouble.  I did have to use my new 4 1/2" grinder from Harbor Freight to remove the heads of a handful of bolts that had rusted to the point where there were no flats to put a wrench on.  Once all the fastners were completely removed, Amy helped me remove the sides and lift off the roof.

Parked in the garage, finally....

Official Tear-Down  - Day 1

I was able to push "Red" into the garage for the first time last week.   Our yard shed was finally delivered and I was able to move out alot of items that were cluttering up the space.

I guess this is officially Day One of the tear-down, Wwwwwoooo-hhoooOO!
