Originally President Red

 

I counted 7 different colors on this fender.

Before....

 

After....

 

Well first, I like the patina just the way it is...but I HATE rust and there's no shortage of it in the floors and drivers side panel below the cowl. I may just rattle can the replaced areas close as possible and clear coat the whole body. I want it to show its age but also prevent future rust.

Mechanically, I plan only a slight departure from stock. Mostly safety upgrades (dual master with remote reservoir, 11" brakes and seat belts). Perhaps a swing out spare tire carrier.

There's a lot to do. I have limited funds and not a whole lot of time. Oh, my build thread is here; http://www.earlycj5.net/forums/showthread.php?89193-63-CJ6-Perkins-Rebuild&highlight=perkins

 

Wow, that's one nice looking tub there. :drool::drool: Not much work!

From what I see, only the driver's side lower firewall has been damaged (cut up by bubba?). Maybe that's a good thing if you're running headers.

 

I also had similar cuts. Got a replacement panel from g503.com -ask Rommel here if you have questions about the panel.

Like rings in a tree, can the age of a Jeep be determined by the calico-osity of the paint?

Well put....although this fender is a bit to psychedelic for my taste.....

 

Well I'm here stuck at work, the plant is down, so I had some time to read compostwerks thread, and I have to give serious props out to it. That was great, doing a lot more than I plan on doing to mine. I so feel for you guys up north with the cold weather, I don't have to worry about hard tops, although I wouldn't mine having one, but definitely not needed.
looking forward to any updates on your build compostwerks!

 

original axles? reinforced frame?
just curious

 

Shortened IH Scout Terra frame, dual narrowed Dana 60's.
