Ok its official, after a trip to the local ICBC rep and lots of research I have registration for my jeep, one of the last things I had to do is have them do a visual on the jeep but I was told don't drive it here.

So just a little progress on the right side fender with repairing the support and the inner sheet metal behind the battery, I still need to finish welding along the top inner of the fender but it too is looking good.

So for me its a very slow process with body work, you clean prep lay in a thin coat of filler and the next day I sand it out only to find I sanded too far and then needing to apply another skim coat and sand again, so its small steps forward and trying not to over sand my work.

Andy you're doing a good job.Just block sand with light pressure both ways at a 45 degree with 120 grit and then apply primer and then block sand the same way with a fine grit.That's the way I do it and it works ok.Andy I love your tires on the jeep,what type and size are they?

I took your advice with the sand paper and I bought a block for sanding with way better results, as for the tires I would love to have a full set but the original ones are worn out and the one you see was the spare, I do like the size they are 16x6.50 6 ply Edited by shadow - 23 July 2018 at 3:32pm |

What a difference it makes with a good sanding block very hot out today so effort is a little low today, just need more cold beer.

Andy,
Are you going to dismantle the body parts to paint them?

You're getting that body work down pat. I had to learn about sanding blocks the hard way as well.
I like the tread design on those tires too!

So back from a little hunting trip and had a chance to dig out the thermostat housing for Jon, I think he has been waiting patiently for this.Wow I had to look to the bottom of page 3 to find my build, I didn't think I was gone that long

Awesome...
But to be clear I’m in no rush. I always think I’m in a rush then it takes 5 times as long to get things done. I’ve only had 3 days off work in the last 16 and I spent those doing yard work and cleaning gutters.
I’ll be out in a week or si. Thanks

O man I am just itching to get out in the jeep, I was hoping to take it out hunting this year but not quite there yet, we had a lot going on this year with our daughter getting married and all the planning that goes along with it and them buying a house all at the same time.

So yes its been some time for me as life just gets busy, so on last Friday I got a phone call saying that the tires I ordered are finally in , they were on backorder for two months , I was starting to think I would need to change my order to get some tires for the jeep, so today I was at the tire shop at opening time with a big grin on my face.
