Some progress over Winter
I didn’t think I had accomplished much over the winter. But looking back, slow progress over a few months can still add up to a decent amount getting done. I guess the moral of the story is to get out there and work on whatever your project is when you can. Slow work beats no
November update
Not a lot has happened in the last month. At least not a lot with the Jeep, but if other projects count I’ve been busy. I did get the Jeep logo welded in on the passenger side panel, and some more of the seam sealer on the wheel tubs.

Since I used the cheaper non-licensed by Chrysler side panels, they did not have the word Jeep embossed in them. They were cheap. I got a good deal. I couldn’t pass it up. I saved hundreds. Free shipping even. But alas, if it’s a steel bodied Jeep it needs to have Jeep stamped in the

Body assembly update
I feel like I’ve been slacking, both in my blog updates and my actual work on the Jeep. For the work slowing down, my excuse is that it has been 90+ degrees just about every day lately and working outside sucks. For the updates, I’ll try to catch up now. Parts – I think I
Body assembly jig – aka the frame
I’ve spent some time over the last couple weeks searching for frame measurements that I could use to make sure the tub will line up with all of the mounts once I get it reassembled. My plan was to build a wood stand with bolts sticking up for all of the body mounts at the
