Cosmetic restoration after 10 years

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have been delayed for almost a year in getting around to redoing my 2A. I finally have made some progress. I am almost ready for paint. 

This was my first project I did body work on 10 years ago. The paint was good though. I have since become a lot more experienced and needless to say, the body work was rough by my standards today. It was a 10 foot-er. I thought it was great years ago. Some knowledge and a hammer a dolly does wonders. It is straight this go around.

	Looks great Carter. Makes me want to get me off my butt from behind my desk and out in the shop wrenching on jeep stuff.
	Joe DeYoung to many jeeps, parts, and accessories to list here, but apparently enough to keep me in trouble with my wife.
