    How can I tell if a 71 Boss, CJ or SCJ is legitimate and as originally built or a re-body/View Inner Fender VIN stamps?

    Maybe….here are some pictures of my car immediately after buying before restoration. You can see from the top the frame rail looks pretty smooth and normal…. when you look underneath, you see extra seams, not very clean welds. What gives it away the most is the spot welds around the VIN! I...

    Oil Trans fluid clean up on concrete garage floor

    CRC red label. Not green. But I am not sure about how it would affect epoxy adhesion. Wear gloves, nasty stuff.
