These days, patina pays. When I first saw my Scrambler after a 20-year separation, I was a bit shocked at the paint on the hood. I immediately thought "repaint." But after a polish job, the patina has grown on me. Now when someone asks if I'm going to repaint it, my answer is "Hell no!"

My girlfriend grabbed this shot just before I pulled the 8 across the driveway to this parking lot to prevent people from exiting onto Main St. during Saturday's Safari lineup. You can still see the ghost of "Scrambler" on the hood. I removed those decals as soon as I brought it home in 1982.

Personally, I wouldn't swap the white wheels on your Jeep for chrome, Hastings215. The white looks great...more retro. There was a thread started on Wrangler Forum a year or so ago about white wheels. I, of course, posted pix of the ol' Scrambler...with no idea that I'd ever drive it again.

 
I am a "limited" patina guy. That's really sweet though and as everyone says only original once.

Great pic! I'm glad you decided to wait on the repaint and bedliner and that the original look has grown on you! I love the patina...like cdvcj8 said, it is only original once!!

Fridays project, New cover, this one won't leak. Took me 45 minutes to pull the fill plug, hex part was stripped (I thanked my mechanic, last one to seal the cover). Even a pipe wrench wouldn't work till I used the acetylene torch. Cast would cool before I could turn the plug 1/4 turn. Nice when done.20160401_133722_resized.jpg20160401_153221_resized.jpg20160401_170408_resized.jpg

Eric I'm pm-ing you. Thanks.
