Outstanding! ..... I wonder what the conversation was between GJ and the new F150 tow rig when they were sitting next to one another ?

All of my Jeeps have had their own personality. Your Jeep with it's bent steering wheel will always be your Jeep.

How many of the neighbors saw Grampa's Jeep come to the house and what did they think--then?  What do they think now?  Clap

 Well done Sir! From a distance it really doesn't look that different. The "patina" color scheme hides a lot. I've been following along and for someone who has a never done any collision work you did an admirable job.

I'm simply in awe of the amazing work you've done to straighten out and retain the patina of GJ. Well done!!

Now your "fake-patina-ed" right rear fender well matches the rest of the Jeep perfectly.  Just tryin' to look on the bright side...

Man oh man!  Go away for a week and just look at the progress you've made!  We talked about you at NCR, and the great work you've been doing.  Never did I expect to see that you've taken it for a ride already.  I am so impressed with your work and your diligence!! 

GOODONYA!!

Stan,
 
I have never met you, but it would be a privilege to do so. All I can say, is job well done !!!!!!
 
Have a wonderful trip on the Rubicon, you and Grandpa's jeep have earned a little R&R to say the least!
 
All the best to you,
 
Frank
