the back side of the jeep was treated very bad.



the dark gray primer was bare metal i had to cover up to stop any rust.



as you can see they started to fix it up, the front half body work was almost done.



more of the work they done to it, parked at my friends shop where i can
finish it, he is going to make room for me on the inside.



damn i got allot of work ahead of me, may have to do coustom gauges.
the speed o may still work but i am not sure about the rest.



should not be too hard to take the rest apart and do a compleat overhaul.
may be if i am lucky you guys will call the show and it will all be done for me.

i am shocked after 16 years i got it back, the body is in great shape, just needs to be striped down for a new coat of paint, with me doing most of the work it should not cost too much to get it back in to shape.

 

That's what she said!!!!! Sorry i couldnt resist. Glad you got your old friend back. Good luck on the project.

 

looks like you got a good project in your hands...

 

now the truck goes to the back burner

 

thats a nice 1500.00 dollar steering wheel cover

 

16 years?!?!? i havent followed this from the beginning... i figued this was all new

wow, im glad you got it back after that long too... thats amazing.

anyway, howd it go when you tried to get it back from that shop? any problems?

 

Yeah the truck is now on the back burner.
looks like all the money i saved up to rebuild a 6.0
And have the trans built to a stage 2 is now going to the jeep.
No gears, no drive shaft balancing, no e fans, and no meth kit.

i am looking at a weekend just to smooth out the bumps with the
block and hammer, lay down some filler and sand it smooth.
Have one small spot to do too the floor in between the seats.

All of the major stuff is the time consuming little things.
may knock out the wiring in one shot by ordering a painless kit from summit,
When I order a new set of gauges.
Most of it looks butched up, spliced in to, or just not being used and left to hang.
