A few months back my dad picked up an old 1948 CJ-2A, as kind of a project for us to play with and restore. It's in running condition, but it needs a lot of work.
So right now I'm asking myself how much I want to invest in this vehicle. Do I want to do a complete restoration, and try to keep everything original? Patch it up and just keep it running? Maybe restore it and make it fun to use, but don't bother keeping it original?
I thought I'd see if anyone else here has an old Willys with any stories or experiences to share. So far I've had fun driving it around his 17 acre property. How are they on the road? I don't think it's even capable of reaching highway speeds, but are they fun to cruise around town if I get it street-legal and plated?
I'm also having difficulty finding out Indiana's requirements for an antique vehicle to be made street legal. I'm guessing the usual stuff like turn signals, seat belts, tail lights...does anyone know where to find this information?
Thanks!
