71 Jimmy pics, playing with the bags, bitter sweet...she's leaving

I spent part of the day getting the Jimmy ready to go to her new home. She leaves in 5 days Many times I thought that I should call the buyer up and tell him it wasn't for sale anymore. The whole reason behind selling her is that I haven't worked on her at all this summer. No reason letting her sit. I hope the new owner has time to get her on the road and enjoy her.
Anyway, here are some pictures I took while playing with the bags. There is still a lot of work to do, but she's getting close to being road worthy.

I can't answer that because I sold it to a boardmember.

After washing it up today I really don't want to see it go, so if you see any 2wd's for sale in your area let me know. I think I made a big mistake!

I could have picked a better buyer Just kidding of course.
It is going to a good home. When things slow down around here I will find another...unless one falls in my lap before then.

With the GMC clip it had one coil cut and 2" drop spindles. Now it still has the spindles, and it has the tall Suicide Doors cups so there is still room to go down.
