The 2005 Flat Fender Frenzy was held August 26 through 28. As usual the group arrived Friday afternoon and evening. We finally did a Willys caravan to Lee's Steak House in Wellston. There we ate a good meal and swapped stories. After dinner we returned to camp and were up late inspecting people's vehicles.
Saturday Morning it was up by 6:00am and off to McDonalds for breakfast. Then before 8:00 am it's off to the Richland Furnace trail for the morning ride. We started Saturday with 9 JeepsŪ but Steve Asprey had transmission trouble. He and Ric Meagley went back to camp to see if they could find the problem. It seems a garage gremlin (TM) had removed the 3rd gear syncro after Steve had replaced it during a last minute rebuild. So you will only see 7 JeepsŪ in the following picture..

Flat Fenders out for a Saturday drive.
Notice the open space near the right side that's where Steve and Ric would have been.
Now let's introduce the brave souls that take 50+ year old Willys iron where it belongs.
