Very nice!� Another reason to always buy some extra paint!

Or a reason to buy a couple spare Jeeps! ODie can be reserved for the light duty stuff and the beater rigs can be the trail buggies. Good thing you have a couple other Willys projects laying around the yard. You're going to need a bigger trailer :-)

Ryan, I like your way of thinking much better!  ;)

At the Fall Colors Tour this year, I was attempting to film a Willys Jeep that was rolling through the woopty-whoops.� The trail got narrow and the speed was high.� I ended up tangling with a few trees and shrubs.� The result?� A substantial scratch that ran the length of my Willys, ODie.� I was devastated, but didn't want to dampen the mood with my disappointment.�

When I got home, I quickly cleaned the mud, dirt and dust off ODie.� I ordered new stencils from Military Stencils, then got busy removing the brackets, footman loops etc...

The scratch wasn't deep, but it couldn't be buffed out. Semi-gloss paint has many advantages, but buffing out a scratch isn't one of them.� So, sanding down the panel was in order...




Good thing I have extra paint.� As you can see, I covered everything I didn't want to paint, then watered the floor to keep the dust down, then shot some paint...






I let the paint cure for a month...




Set the stencils, painted them, then bolted all the stuff back on.� It was time to put ODie back into his Fall jacket, so the top went back on.� Took it for a spin to show the neighborhood that ODie is back to his old self again.� All is right in world!...




Thank you for tuning in to my mini Willys project.
