Posted up some progress pics of getting everything installed

 

next is a full cage and seats, body and paint

 

Nice work. That is a great looking chop job.

 

Did you sandblast the body? or just blast it with some kinda of spray?

 

scrubbed it with a wire wheel then hit it with some self etching primer , the engine compartment was a disaster but with some engine degreaser and a 9 year old we tackled it pretty quickly

 

Looks Good!


I have a 89 that needs a new door and new paint... Its like a tan purple color... not quite sure how that happened..

I was curious because I really don't want to have to take the exterior down to bare metal.

 

Speaking as a veteran myself.....I appreciate what you are doing....good deed done will deserve a good deed in return..

 

Some good ideas here.

 

Great build. Maybe put some of your sponsors on here and some of the locals could use them

Nice looking Chop man Like those wheels too.

Did you install the entire dash in the 89? and does the cluster work and everything linded up with the screw holes? Heres my thread. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/19...x6/#post876942
