1961-fc170-lv-nv98 1961-fc170-lv-nv9

“1962 Jeep FC.Originally a 170 model,I took the bed off and shortened the frame. I had this PARSON’S 6FT utility bed I picked up years ago and I put them together. The utility bed had a missing door so I made one and just need to cut the hole for the latch and install it.. Minor rust on both the cab and bed.. Some rust above windshield. Most panels are straight. Missing drivers glass. The 80 year old previous owner installed a 67ish chevy 250/th350 and wired himself with this brother.. They installed a 8.8 rear end but left the front axle. This thing runs and drives well,stops well. Has manual steering but it’ll put hair on your chest! The only thing is that it runs a bit hot,I just installed a 16″ electric fan and it can idle for a while but if you drive it kinda hard,the temp creeps up.. I think I needs timing and maybe more airflow since the bumpers kinda block that… Great for your business. No trades..”

Ann taking her cousin for a spin in the Race Jeep.

We had our annual family gathering last weekend (hence the lack of updates). I was busy up til folks started arriving on Friday morning and didn’t stop moving until Sunday night. We had around 40 folks camping, tenting, RVing, staying in the house, crashing in the bunk house, and even sleeping in the shop’s extra rooms. The weather was perfect, warm during the day and cool enough at night for some fires.

The balloons launched at 7am Saturday morning, but Sunday proved too windy (the balloons launch about a 2 miles from us). This year the winds took the balloons east, so we didn’t get any close up views from our property (but most relatives went to the airport to watch them). However, most of the time we were all having fun, playing games, eating and hanging out. Here are some random pics from the event.

We rented a bounce house and obstacle course for the young ones.

A silly race.

Using chalk paint, I made four square, hop scotch, and a tic-tac-toe play areas.

I built a set of corn holes with a balloon theme. These were a bit hit.

On Friday night, one of the relatives got out his fire dancing items and entertained us at the fire pits. He’s been spinning fire for more than a decade (though he’s only been part of the family for just over a year). So, this is a neat treat.

His goal was to enter it in local car shows and, so far, he’s won four trophy’s with it. Nice work!
