my names Jon, i am 19 and i have been a loyal jeep driver for 3 years,and im going to start my own fabrication buisness and i was looking for a good base to start with. So now ive taken up a new project, i recently bought a 92 cherokee and cut the back half off. I have herculined the entire interior, pretty much done everything i can to waterproof it so it can cruise in a hurricane and be just fine. I have bought a pair of corbeau moab seats for the front and have seat covers on them, im now working on the body damage and pulling dents, filling and sanding the holes so pretty soon its gonna be ready for paint. I was thinking a plain color but orange works well for catching peoples eyes. After paint i plan to put a full roll cage on the outside, tying the front and rear bumpers to the rock rails as well. This cherokee already gets looks all over at car shows and even safeway, and its just black. I would love to get sponsored and be able to paint the jeep orange and the exo cage black or silver, it would really stand out wherever i go. This cherokee is going to be made into my daily driver and its going to drive from Ridgefield WA to Portland OR every weekday (20 miles to work), and there is a local auto show (P.I.R. sponsored by Beaches) every wednesday starting june 2nd till the weather gets bad in september or so. An estimated 700 people a week show up to see cars, and only heavily modified vehicles can go. Ill be there with my gorgeous jeep that hopefully you can sponsor. There are other shows as well, but this one ill go to every week, I have another 100 to go to this summer as well. Ill use it camping on the weekends, it will go all over between Salem OR to Seattle WA from Seaside OR to The Dalles OR this rig isnt going to wheel hard, if any due to the daily driver but im promoting my jeep buildup skills and hopefully your buisness. I work at Baxter Auto Parts in delta park and it will sit in the parking lot getting stares by hundreds of guys every day. Ive been planning this buildup for 8 or 9 months and its time to get it done before summer so i can enjoy this jeep. Im only going to use the finest parts and auto car for my jeep because this is going to promote my skills so instead of just some kid that wants some cash, trust somone that is looking into his future and anything skipped on my own rig is going to hurt me. So bottom line, im not cutting corners. Only the best parts and car is going into my cherokee. Thank you for considering me for the sponsorship. (As long as im sposored, ill keep you posted on what im doing to it, and send you pictures as updates from shows)
