I might try to make this trip with my 15 y/o son. He lives, eats, and breathes Jeeps. The only problem I have is that if I tell him about the show he will want to bring the J10 we are building for him. That means I'll be bugged constantly until the job is done. Wait a minute that's is already happening!

My wife and I both grew up in Shoemakersville, PA. This trip will be a good opportunity to visit family back home.

Yeah, It gets better though. His first ride will be rebuilt from the ground up. It is an extreme father and son project. The 401 sports forged Bulltear pistons, a lunati cam, scorpion rockers, headers, and a set of heads from a 360 Hornet X I had when I was in high school in the late 70s.

My mission is to teach my son as much as I can about cars. I didn't want my son to be the kid that didn't know what he was looking at when he opened the hood on a car.

So far we have stripped the cab to the bones, welded in new floor pans, rebuilt the: engine, 727 transmission, 208 transfer case, and a set of J20 axles. This past weekend we welded up the firewall heater box holes in preparation for a vintage air heater/ac unit. If all goes well the dash will be heavily modified with all new gauges.

My son has invested over 2K of his lawn mowing earnings into the project. Basically, when he is not turning wrenches he is shoveling snow or mowing grass to make money for his Jeep. I plan to give him back the money he invested in his project when he goes to college (He does not know this). But for now, I think it is important that he has a sense of ownership in his project.

Most of my son's friends can't understand why he would work so hard on a truck when he could just play playstation all day and let his parents buy him a vehicle. My son actually thinks the J truck is cool and can't understand why everyone doesn't think exactly like him.

Anyway, I've rambled on way too long. Hope to see you at the show.

York is my hometown, but now I live 1,200 miles away. Not sure I can afford to drive Emma the whole way there!

Yeah I hope to see you too! Ill probably drive the wagoneer. That truck sounds completly INSANE! And I though I was cool in HS (2 years ago ) Driving my XJ on 35's. Man your son is lucky. Thats totally cool the heads of your HS ride is on his.

PLEASE post some pics! or do you have a thread floating around?

I know what you mean about those kids that dont know where a spark plug, or even the oil dipstick is. The deal I had with my dad was basically he'd buy me all the parts I need, but Id install them and take care of his old trucks and vette. With labor rates these day, he's still come out far ahead

I'm probably going to make the long road trip, not sure yet which Jeep I'll bring .... but it will be RED.

[Thomas792]

Pardon my ignorance but as I understand it I have to pay $40 to attend the event. I'm not interested in putting my vehicle in any competition, I just want to go there and look at other people's Jeeps. I might even get lucky and find some parts I need.
