Re: Coulombe Enterprises JP #07 Clever Girl built.

Interesting story... we all knew here they screwed up the number (among other things) which is why I find it hard to believe that the paint they used (and is in the records) is actually the same paint on the original Jeeps. I mean if it is, it is. 1992 appears to be the first year Ford came out with...

Re: David's JP project (spike42718)
