Your cowl is better, less extra firewall holes too. I've already started on this one so I'm going to stick with it.

Bob,
This looks like a fun project to watch.� Will there be a 3B book to follow?

I am generally up for a tub challenge, but the picture of the side panels even gave me pause.

I suspect your 'too rusty to save' question is rhetorical, but I will answer it anyway.�

"Too rusty to save?"� For you?� Of course not! :)

I don't ever want  to hear anyone accuse me of bringing home hopeless projects any more!! I would have used that tub for parts myself.

Have fun and take lots of pictures, Bob..

No 3B books will come from this project.

I have repro side cowl panels and custom side panels from a previous project that stalled. I will be using these panels on this project and hopefully I will be able to finish it this time. Just had to cut them off the previous failed project. The angle of the fender attachment flange on the repro panels isn't correct so that makes it more difficult to line things up.

Bob you got drive! There is a CJ3B in Denver craigslist for 1350.00. Tub looks brand new compared to yours. Now, are you going to name your Jeep "Rusty"! Have fun with your project, and your welding practice will be at a all time high! John

It's difficult to find an old Jeep around here in the rust belt that still has a body. If it was nice I wouldn't use it for this project, after all we are in the Modified section of the forum.

Since there is basically no floor in this Jeep I will be building one from scratch. It will be a simplified version of the original. I'm also going to use M-38 removable floor panels, I like that idea. Anyone have an extra M-38 lower floor pan cover?

Slow going. I picked up an M-38 lower floor cover. Then I clamped the 3 cover assembly onto what was left of the CJ-3B floor and sprayed around it to mark the location. I cut out most of what remained of the hump and up into the firewall. Now the M-38 floor panels are temporarily screwed down and an empty transmission and transfer case are in place so I can build the remainder of the hump.

Where did the side panels come from? (1/4 front and rear)

We are getting to be a bunch of regular modifiers here... ;D

I had the side panels from a previous project that stalled. The front sides are just run of the mill repros. The front angle is not correct so the fenders don't fit properly, adding another set of problems. The rear sides are custom made from Brian Hainer.
