I love those seats... would you mind sharing all of the details of what you ordered for the front seats?

Thank you!

Once I started bolting pieces on I just couldn't stop. After a year of tedious cleaning and refurbishing parts to actually be able to attach them to the jeep was a thrill. "ooh!, that looks great! Let's grab another piece......Oooh!!! that looks great, Let's grab another piece!!......" and so on...for 2 straight days.

I accidentally left the accelerator mounting bracket at the body shop so I crudely fabbed a temporary one out of a piece of angle iron. Since it was the only thing standing between me and a first drive I just had to do it.

When you said last week that you had the long weekend planned I thought you was at least going to break for turkey! That is an amazing bit of work. I'm with Tim, that Pontomac Gray really pop's the black hardware and the seat covers go well. That tub sure looks different from the one you took back from body man #1. Although not complete you will soon cross the finish line in style.....

Oh Yah! �There it is!! :o :o 8-) �That is stunning.

You have got to be thrilled with the way it's turned out. �I have a fondness for Olive drab Jeeps. �I also have a fondness for bright yellow Jeeps...see CalvinHunt.

Now I have a new color added to my bucket list...Patomac Grey. �I've talked my wife into a second Willys. �She wants yellow. �I wonder if she'll go for a third?

It really looks great. �I'm so happy for you. �Let the fun begin!! :)

Still waiting on the hood but the rest of it is together enough to run and drive. I have some detail stuff to finish up but I think it looks pretty good.

Wow!! �Even though you had a long wait, it looks like it turned out terrific. �By now you've probably lined it up and bolted her down. �

Everything can really come together now. �When I was at your current stage, I was in the garage from dawn till dusk. �Every little thing you do is exciting. �I justed couldn't stop. �I imagine you feel the same. �Can't wait to see those seats mounted in the tub.

Congrats.

Right you are, Tim. I've been like a crack addict in the garage the past few days. So much so, that I have it back together and took the inaugural test drive tonight at 11:15pm (no way I could wait until morning...) . So far so good. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow.

Finally picked up my finished tub from the body guy tonight. I took this tub in over a year ago for what was supposed to be a 6 week project. Too late to actually line it up properly and bolt it down but here's what it looks like just sitting in place. Still a long ways to go with the project but this is a major milestone.

The body work and paint are the only things I have hired out, and of course, the only things dreadfully behind schedule. Go figure.

Oh Ya. �Been there.



Are you doing the repairs? �These things really do have common rust and fail points. �The sheet metal patches look pretty much the same as mine did.
