I’m enjoying it. I wish I had started sooner. I really don’t have much body work left. I’m really hoping to have it on the road by June. July at the latest.

I think this is awesome. Utilizing deadman’s Jeep as a parts car makes me chuckle. Wonder if he was a donor.

And Repops never seem to be just right and almost always require the same if not more work than original tin.

It’ll mean more to you, since you worked so hard to keep it original.

Totally. [emoji106]

Little more work, I was just going to patch the floor channel. But it’s a little far gone.

I saved what I could. Unfortunately it’s a piece that’s always rotted. No donors this time.

I’ve read about this stuff, so I’m giving it a shot.

I started tearing down the wreck one. I discovered the previous dead owner, not caused from the Chinese Rona virus removed the Emergency brake to install a over drive.

When the Jeep stalled out and the brakes failed, he had no emergency brake to grab.

One nice thing from the factory, there is stamped numbered tags on all the 24v wiring plugs. So no need to tag like I started doing.
