UPDATE:  Here’s an updated picture of the final deck in case anyone was interested.  You can view more about the project here:  http://www.deilers.com/deck/

However, I do have a couple quick updates on what we’ve been doing.  Much of our time has been consumed by a deck rebuild for my parents (it turns out Ann is great with power tools!).  Below are a couple shots. The first photo shows how bad it looked after we pulled up the decking.  The second shows the deck  partially done.  There was quite a bit of rot in those joists.

This sounds like is has power and a good drive train ratio for the roads.

Yesterday Ann and I put down the power tools to take a quick trip to the Hiram Chittenden Locks in Seattle.  I needed to scope out Discovery Park and the Locks for the upcoming book.  Here are a few pics from the Locks.

Ann spotted this crazy Lego contraption.  When I was a kid, I was excited to make a rolling vehicle.  My how building with Legos has changed!

UPDATE:  I got word back from my webhost that their data facility was having a problem and they would fix it asap.  Since the server is now working again, they must have solved their problem.  Updates will appear tomorrow early AM.

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $1800. This looks like a good price and includes a winch.  Note the customized windshield, too.  The seller did correct the V-6 to a Flathead 6.

(08/03/2012) It looks like the rear axle has been updated, so that part of the running gear isn’t original.  The driver side entrance has been chopped a bit.

“1944 willys it has a flat head 6 motor,running gear is all orgianal,it has a big ass winch on it that works, runs and drives but needs to be restored…call 855-6091”
