My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

I have not updated in a few weeks. I got carpet and upholstery done. Then, as I think I am finished, my wife says that our daughter needs a steering wheel.

Pics of carpet and steering wheel. I do not have any good pics of the padded sides.

Another test fit. But this time we had to make sure the dog fit.

And finally I had to do some comparison shots by my wife's jeep since it was the inspiration for this build.

I knew it really needed fenders to look like a jeep. I went back and forth on how to build them and finally settled on 1/4" thick black ABS plastic. I think it will do a good job of matching the plastic fender JK look. I apologize in advance. I completely forgot to take pictures of the process but I do have pics of them mounted up.

I ordered a small sheet of the ABS off the net along with special ABS glue. I cut small mounting flanges and bolted those to the body. With a heat gun I warmed up the plastic until it was pliable and matched the shape of the mounting flanges. Then I glued the whole thing up.

First pics of the fenders in their rough shape

A little cutting and shaping and It is really starting to look like a jeep.
