As the SOTR is going back into the shop this week, we hope, for internal wiring, new insulation, and inside skin before new Zolatoning / and marmoleum flooring, I thought I'd share a few shots of our 65 Jeep Wagoneer that will probably be doing the towing (unless we use our 2005 Silverado Crew Cab 8.1L / Allison tranny) when we take it on the road. My uncle, the little guy in all the old family photos, it restoring it, starting last week and will be completed in a couple of weeks. Here are a few shots of it in its current state. Mechanically, it is all restored. Look at that AMC 327 V8, 250HP with the Turbo 400 sitting there. Now, the body work! Talk about many irons in the fire at once. I spent last Thursday at dinner in Orange, CA with Bill Kerfoot, who has the
1954 29' double door Liner on RJ Dial's Airstream Photo Archives. It was a pleasure to finally meet Bill in person - I look forward to more get together's Bill (I know he reads the Blog). SYDTR!

Uh Rob - this doesn't look like the traveler in the previous post? The door's look different (window frames are different) - is this an old Jeep Wagoneer instead?
Marc
Duh - I read the post again! What happened to the Traveler you just talked about that you bought?
Marc
Marc,
If you read back far enough, you will see the Wagoneer. It is a 1965, bought to be the Caravel tow vehicle, but with the 327 V8 and lightness of the SOTR, it will tow it fine. So, until the 58 Travelall is restored (time and money $$$$) this will be the cool thing towing the VERY cool thing! The T'all is long term! Thanks for the comments Marc.
