Newbie's 81

Here's a few pics of my 81 that I acquired a few days ago. I will be in search of all the air cleaner assembly and smog equipment in the near future.

nice. Welcome. I also dig the retro look of the turbine wheels, fits the truck.

there's a thread on here that BobbysJeep demonstrated paint recovery on a (red) Scram using Meguiars compound and a DA polisher.. really brought it back to life.. yours looks like it would be salvageable.

Thanks!, yeah the paint could use a little love. I would like to do some body work first. I need to replace the panels were the roll bar mounts to the bed also, you can see in the first pic below the door needs some work as well. Can anyone recommend a company for the panels in the 4 corners of the bed and floor boards?

No offense Jim but I used Quadratecs floor pans once and was less than impressed when they arrived. The next project I used these off Ebay. They are way better:

Thanks again guys. Quadratec does not make the panels for the bed, so I think I am going with Classicent

I called quadratec about these floor pans last week. I asked if they would fit my CJ8 as I noticed it wasn't listed to fit in the ad. He said they would not. I thought the cab floor of an 8 was the same a the floor area before the step up at the bed area? Did he just not know because his screen didn't mention CJ8 or is there some minor difference?

 

[jims chop shop]

No difference, fit fine, I will post a picture of my floorpans when I get home
