So you want to fix up a rare old truck? - J-Fawkit Jeep J10 Episode 1 and only
In this episode I introduce J-Fawkit, the 1976 Jeep J10 that's been leaking on my lawn for the last few years. I give a quick overview of the drivetrain and axles, then swap a gas tank, throw some new brake lines and master cylinder in, and repair some fuel lines.
Unfortunately I then sold this project, so this is the one and only episode.

Why have only one project car when you can have three? Project Upggrayed
Do you ever buy something you shouldn't? I do all the time, especially with vehicles. Here I have my latest suspect purchase, which I hope to happily cruise off into the sunset with. Of course that would require finding time between the other projects.
The car is a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and here is the start of our journey together. Project Upggrayed - With two Gs for a double dose of G body [something].
