Build story

I had a heart attack in June 2021 midway through the build, the widow maker! I’ve gone through a separation… my Adult step children still want me to be a grandparent to their children… and my own daughter are all supportive of me…
Started collecting parts 2017, worked on it for 5 years off and on in 4 different friends shops.
Painted by, Intenze Auto Styles of Innisfail Alberta.
I did all the welding & fabrication myself, rebuilt & assembled all the mechanical & electrical myself. I farmed out the machine work… to Western Canadian Rockwell, Industrial Machine Shop & Gen X Machine all from Red Deer Alberta.
I’m sure I’m missing some of the modifications I done and some parts I added…
I do off road it! I’ve hauled it to Jaffray BC, and to the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains west of my home about 1.5 hours. I’m a member of the local Jeep club, Red Deer Packrats.

I’m excited to be building my shop in the Spring 2024
