Another milestone! We finished painting most of the larger body parts. The windshield and a few small pieces, some nuts and bolts and we move to complete Phase III — installation!

From time to time a friend or two would stop by for a visit and we put them to work on the Jeep! James and Earl stopped by to help with the fenders. Thanks guys!

We completed painting the tub a beautiful Marine Forest Green. I looked great!

Phase II Restore

With the easy part behind us it' was time to start restoring or replacing parts. This took the longest time because each piece had to be cleaned, inspected, refurbished or replaced. It was fun to learn about each component and gratifying to see each part repaired and ready to install.
