    Are those original taillights? If repros what is the source and how do you like them?

    You can I.D.the repop taillights by the orientation of the lens mounting screws. 180 degrees from original. The screw at the top on stock taillights is on the bottom on repro.

    Focker, didn't your rig go from Rustoleum OD green, they you were going for the patina harvest yellow look. Maybe I've been away from the forum too long, I'm trying to catch up. :confused:

    Lines must be getting crossed here. I see where you went from green to yellow, but I was under the impression you went back to green afterward. That was my confusion.

    Can you please, offer more details for the slow ones(me)? I want to do the same, but just to build a replacement panel since mine is busted. Thanks, and awesome look!

    I bolted the metal to the Jeep, put one foot up on the metal while grabbing the roll bar right above the corner. I pushed my foot into the metal as I pulled myself into the Jeep with my arms. Think of as a rowing machine.

    Super excellent job. That's one nice machine. Nice, but with that tough look.
