I moved this to the "your stock jeep project" board because it has taken the direction of a project now.  ;)

Thanks Nate,

As I looked at the other threads in the Your Stock Jeep Project board I was thinking that maybe my thread ought to be here...

Randy,
This is coming along nicely.  I've also noticed you are a Toyota fan.

Thanks Tim,

Those Toyota's are handy for towing old jeeps home or taking rusty parts over to storage....!

More jeep stuff...out with the old




In with the new



and yet another patch...




I'm getting anxious to get this body repair wrapped up and on with the frame and mechanical things....but I'm still finding spots that need repair...like the front top bow sockets....

This little bracket attaches to the wheelhouse face and supports the drivers seat...I was going to use the original one but it was too rusty...no metal left...



Is that big hole supposed to be there?

Much better...but be careful with those grinders!

Passenger side...




This one was completely rusted, and the patch extends up the side...

The old tool box lid is still in great condition, but the "D" ring was gone....



So I bought a "D" ring at Home Depot, and made a bracket..

I drilled it so it would fit over the existing rivets..




And then I welded the old lid to the MDJuan tool box hinges, and added the "D" ring....I removed that crazy latch arrangement and used the original clip..... works fine...
