Got some body work done today, cut out passenger floor and tacked in the replacement floor then I ran out of wire (dame I sure wanted to get all my welding done) but oh well. So I moved on to the tail light panels and fabed up both and since I'm no metal guy I can pat my self on the back they came out very good.
The panels were not hard at all to fab, I cut a 3/4" piece of plywood to my dimension for the panel and then measured and cut the metal. Once I got the metal cut I clamped it to the plywood and used a bfh to bend it over and it works out better than expected. I fit each side separately and clamped them on to see the fit on each side. Came out nice and I save lots of money by doing it this way. I then cut out the wheel well under the brace were there was rust through and fit a new piece there as well.
I'll pick up some wire tomorrow and get this jeep body moving in the direction it needs to go.
I did find a machinists to start the motor the rebuild, he rebuilt the dauntless in my dads CJ5 but I was not sure he wanted to take on this little motor. Seems he wants too.
I fired up the witches brew and derusted the Jerry can and holder. I left it in for 24 hours and that really made a huge difference. Finished with the pressure washer and primed and painted.
I have pics that will be uploaded tomorrow for all your viewing pleasure. It felt really good to get so much done today, it was raining most of the day but the temp was in the high 50's so it was perfectly fine in the shop.
