This guy rocks...

Totally breathing life back into the forums, too.

Thank-you. 2 years ago I didn't know how to turn a computer on now I spend TOO MUCH time on them. I am a regular on a chainsawing web site and I have also been on an old International truck web site, and of course craigslist. I often times have free time at work to look at things on the computer, like right now.

Every year we do an employee classic car show at my work and today's the day. I drove the old 47 Dodge with the Willys on it. I will take some pics later and try to figure out how to post them. I have been bringing a different car/truck every year for the last 5 years. We used to have burn-out competitions after work but the boss put the kibosh on that last year. I will have to figure out how to post videos here too, I did a sweet burn-out with my lifted 1977 Dodge Powerwagon on 42" superswampers a few years back. I was doing figure-8s on the blacktop.

That was pretty cool, not what I expected though. I figured they saw an old Dodge out there or somethin'.

I just read this whole thread, interesting. So is this truck still up and going?

Which direction from 35?  Used to live up near Harris (out of town to the East) when I was still in school, "back in the day".

I remember a house to the East of 35 right between the curves, on the North side, dude always had something cool in the yard, and even cooler hiding in the shop.  Occasionally we'd get a glimpse inside when he had the doors open.   

I'm west of 35, right next to the hiway. I'm originally from Pine City.

I JUST got all the pics Nicole took. I'm working on cleaning them up
Gettin some smart teeths (wisdom) ripped out tomorrow so I should have some time. (:

Did she take dirty pictures? Good luck at the dentist.

Sweet!!! I put it on my calendar. We live by hiway 35 in Harris. We would enjoy cruising down with you folks.

Sweet!! Keep me posted.

When and where is this frankensteiners ball? If I'm available and its not too far away I will go. My old dodge only does about 45mph so I dont go to far with it usually.

Cool thread, some sweet vehicles and some not so sweet (that old car with the taurus from clip is ishy).

Sweet! I really like that 68 RT. I had a real good time at the show, look forward to seeing more pictures.

Thanks you, I am still just in awe that I own Homers old Willys. Way too cool.

Love that coronet, would really like a ride in it sometime.

I really like your truck. Them old 4 door dodges are sweet. Someday.....

Hi hillbillys! My name is Andy and I am the guy who was at Braham fest with the 1947 Dodge WH47 two ton truck with the 46 Willys CJ2A on the back of it. I didn't get to meet too many of you but I did get a few good chats in with a few of the car show attendees. I heard about your club when I bought the Willys, (which I named Homer), from Les. I will lay out the story for you here. I grew up in Pine City and my neighbor and very good friend, who had the nick name Homer, owned that old Willys. When I was just a young boy I thought it was the coolest thing with wheels. It has a Ford 289 that my brother helped install back in the early 80's and he also helped do the spring over suspension lift. Homer passed back in 2010 and I often wondered what happened to his old Jeep. Well about a month ago I was looking thru craiglist like I often do and there it was, Homers Willys. I HAD to have it!!! It is EXACTLY the same as when I was a kid. Same tires, no brakes, same old passenger door know from an old house door, same plexiglass windows that my dad gave Homer. When you open the drivers door there is a sticker for Grab-on handle bar grips that I stuck on it back when I was probably under 5 years old. LOTS of cool memorys. When Les asked me if there was anything I would like to know about the jeep I asked if there was any thing he would like to know about it, then I told him the story. I hope to get it road worthy some time in the future. He told me about your guys car show in Braham and I had been excited about it since. I am a Dodge guy but I enjoy all old cars and even more so TRUCKS. I have been reading some threads on your site and it looks like you have some fun times, I hope I can get in on some of them sometime. Thats all for now. ANDY
