WOW!!! Absolutely beautiful. And +1 to the combined effect of the color scheme... now quit putting off the hard decals... :P
 
Looking good.
Many people have no idea how much work, time and money it takes to get to the point where you are. They also can't know just how satisfying it is just to drive down the street in a Jeep you just built with you own two hands.

Well said. 99 percenters sign on the dotted line for a new JK. We are the 1 percenters. Well done!
 
J.J. you are correct. I am a 1%'r and a 99%'r. In 2009 I bought my ZR1 for $132,000.00 and then I built my '81 Scrambler and I get way more satisfaction in driving the CJ-8. Another fact is the value of the Jeep is going up, wish I could say that about the Vette. It's at about 50% now.
 
Thanks for all the comments and posts, it has taken a very long time.
A simple "tub swap" turned into extensive frame surgery, replacing basically everything under the vehicle, then all the tub modifications, finding all the parts and pieces as it is a RHD and some parts are specific, etc. etc.

So, yes, it is rewarding.
It is expensive
It has taken over 600 hours so far.

I think the color contrast is very cool.
I hope to get the rest of the decals on today, wash her down a bit, get the top off and windshield started/prepped as the glass is going in on Tuesday.
I have a lot of little odds and ends to finish up as well, some painting pieces and other tidbits.

I plan on putting it to bed next weekend, so hopefully the majority is done by then.
This way in the springtime, I can get it out of hibernation, finish up a few odds and ends and then enjoy it for the summer.

Looks good. I really like the color combo with the decals. Must feel good to be finishing this thing up.
 
Of course my confuser got a virus which encrypted all of my photos. Here are some fresh one. I put the new decals on exactly where the originals were.

Sorry about the dust on the fender. Just sloppy I know
 
Sober as a judge. Simply dropped it on the floor. Have to call phoenix and see what can be done. Kicking myself for it all stuck together
