Baystate Jeepers

I am actaully going to Hudson but thats right next door. I had to lie, steal, cheat etc etc to secure a location to work on my jeep too. LOL (joking about the lie,steal,cheat)

Amanda - I'm taking time off after XMAS, I'll pitch in and help

Ok - I consulted the powers that be. I can volunteer a heated space for the work.

Excellent
Only a couple of minutes drive from my place to swing over and help put

I will take you up on that offer.

I'm taking PTO the same time you are so I can haul your Jeep and tub parts most any day from Saturday on

I also have some time off after christmas and can lend a hand.
You're welcome to borrow my engine hoist which makes an excellent tub hoist for as long as you may need it

I do have one engine hoist. Also available are basic air tools, a welder and plasma cutter. I think I should be able to clean out enough stuff to set down a tub next to the jeep to make it easier to pull parts off one & install on there other versus stripping a tub & then trying to install from a pile of parts.

If Kurt's hauling the jeep up here, he knows where to go.

That's odd... he was on the forum around 12:30 today

Yep! I was checking email/stuff while sucking down my lunch and was called away. We have a shut down going on at work (biotech) and this week is super busy. On top of that I had to pick up a new backflow preventer for my boiler at home. I was able to temp fix it last night with a seal I made from an old bike inner tube.

PM is on the way!

PM sent.

And some chain too right?

This is awesome! Thank you everyone

Now... If I use Joe's tub... this is a preview of how it will look...

I crack myself up..

Hmmm good point. Maybe we can find you some blue doors and a red hood too.

A can of house paint and some rollers can work wonders you know!

I can paint it with my feet.

I honestly don't know.

However, the one thing to keep in mind right now is to save all the paperwork. Get receipts for everything (including the tub, with the VIN of the tub on the receipt), in case the MA RMV asks for you to prove that you bought all the parts & such versus them being stolen. I've heard this come up more for homemade trailers, but I could see it being an issue. And its much easier to start a folder with receipts now than chasing stuff down later.
