She should be back out of paint in a week or two, then starts putting it back together which shouldn't be too big of a deal. Then she'll be street worthy again.

Dang, you're not wasting any time!

Dang, you're not wasting any time!

Just to clarify the timeline of this thread: This Jeep was purchased in February of 2017. I didn't actually get it into the body shop until about two months ago. The most current pictures are the very last set I posted, they're about a week old. Thanks for all the interest

Looking good! !

Last bit of tub patching

 

[mchoward48]

Mostly primed and ready to spray. Not too much longer in the shop now.

 

[mchoward48]

5E Dark Brown Metallic coming in soon, I can't wait! I haven't really seen too many examples of the color, and only the spray card the painter made me up close, so I'm very anxious to see it done.

 

[mchoward48]

A few pieces sprayed out, 5E is a pretty color but it can’t be seen well in these

 

[mchoward48]

Some better examples of the color

 

[mchoward48]

The hood is dusty in these pics but the brown shows better in these pics than the last ones

 

[mchoward48]

Inside of the tub is now painted, outside will be shot on Monday or Tuesday

The color in a different lighting

Also found some cool documentation that came with the Jeep


And I also thought this was cool that it’s been with the Jeep all these years

The image rotation is a problem with the non-standard way that some phones (iPhones in particular) designate the photo orientation.

Nice work on the summary and nice progress!

Before and after: My father the day we brought her home, and the day we finally registered a year and a half later
