I sanded all the old paint off and Larry hammer and dollied it out.He had it done in 10 min.
The pass side I'm going to leave since it's smaller and would be a nightmare to fix.

Looks great.  I can't wait to see it.

You know, if you're gonna hack apart your jeep you really shouldn't do such a good job.  It makes me think about what I could do to my not-yet-paid-off TJ.  I've already got enough bad ideas, I don't need more.

Update:

The fab work is done with the exception of a latch for the CJ gate.  The filler neck looks good on there and the cap on the inner fender Brad did turned out excellent.  I'll try to update the pics later this week.  The body work is progressing and I finally bought paint.  House of Kolors Tangelo Orange pearl is what sitting in here. 

Also repaired gas gauge, and installed new gas tank skid plate to replace the old one which was as crumpled as they get.

Well thanks to Alex & Brandon for coming by saturday and helping the project along.  Alex wired up my rubi compressor after brandon made a bracket for it.  I plumbed it and so far its working. 

Doors and tailgate are ready to be primered and the rest of the body work is progressing.  The jeep should be fully primered (except old grill) for Jeep Jamboree.

Jeep got primered last night in prep for Jamboree this weekend.  Body work isn't done but it's getting closer.  All thats left is reassemble, tailgate latch (in progress), and a rear bumper and it's ready for Jambo.

you and me both man... I'm sure there are another half dozen that feel the same way since they've been dropping by to check it out and help when needed.

I guess if you had to pick a time to have any trail damage now would be the time.

Tommorrow it goes on the trailer!  Take it down and see if the Rubi locker works and if the sheetmetal is far enough out of the way!

I cut sheetmetal for free.  It's fixing it that get's expensive.
