Well, if ya don't know my name is Erik and i like welding and stuff. I make bikes for a living, and I go under the name Peacock Groove.
While I love bikes, and almost all things about them, I have just been wanting to challenge myself with a project. Something different, cool, something "out there" ....

Well, I found it. A 1953 Willys Jeep CJ3B it is.  With a plow.A buddy had it sitting in his farm for a few years. I am not sure how long, but found out today that, well, long enough....
After getting it to the shop last Thursday the 19th of September, 2013, it was just a relief to get it off the trailer. People drive like shit, and even worse when you are hauling stuff out there. Give them truckers some room y'all.....

Well, today was the first day of work.  A little over 5 hours by me, and Beau and Aisha stopped by cause they like hot rods and bikes and junk like a lot. Beau ended up helping a little bit and he really like the sawzall.
 Here are just a couple pics of how I got it, and the end tonight.
While I am not completely sure of what I am going to make this into, I do have an idea.
It's obtuse, and incredibly labor intensive, and will be pretty kick ass.
To quote my buddy Jeff:" All is fair in love and hot rods.".
Well, we will just see about that....
Hang in there, this may take a while.
