SCJEEPER'S Build to Now!

That color looks great. Wow. And fyi, I decided that I did not want to cut the front fenders so I am sticking with CJ flares. I mocked everything up and the rear were not bad. It just would have been a lot of cutting for the front and I was not ready for that. But thanks for your pics above. It really shows what needs to be cut for the front.

I can't wait to see what the whole Jeep looks like with that blue on it. Should look great. (I really need to paint mine. Someday)
 
Well it was a very productive weekend boys! I had to go to a 4 year old's birthday party Saturday morning and while I was there I thought about it and figured that I would have enough time after the party to get the tub painted before the kick off of the Clemson game. We got home and and final sanded/prepped the tub and drove it the 2 minutes to my shop and rolled her in the booth. After quite some time of taping and cleaning the surfaces we were ready to shoot. I wasn't near as nervous this time as Thursday. The biggest thing that I was worried about was the colors matching each other from what I had already painted. Here come the Pics!

It's out in the parking lot now. When the sun gets high I will got take some more pictures in full sun.
 
Looks beautiful. Congrats on the Clemson win. You guys will win the ACC. My Hokies proved that we need to work on our offense a bit more.
 
I live about Seven miles from CU and when Dabo said that there was going to be a party he wasn't kidding. That place was rocking this weekend! One of the guys here at work went to the game and he can't even talk today from screaming. My dad is coming to help me start the reasembly process tonight. This should be fun!
 
Well thanks to dear old dad who helped me get the fenders hood and tailgate on last night it was a productive evening and even got to go home to a nice plate of chicken parm that my wife had cooked for us. These pics suck but at least show progress. Everything lined up perfectly the way it was supposed to as well which made it easy to put back together. The stainless hardware looks exactly the way I hoped it would on the dark color too.

:thumbsup:

That rear crossmember is just begging for a shot of some black paint ;) See what happens when you try to make Jeep parts pretty? The rest of them get jealous :D

Well last night nothing really happened. We had dinner at the in-laws so not much time after work to get anything done. I am quickly realizing that I am not going to be able to add as much new stuff as I wanted right now considering my boy likes to eat. It's cool....that gives Jess something to buy me for bdays and Christmas :-). I did get my old headlights back in and saw that one of the clips on the trim ring is missing. Hopefully is is buried in my parts box. The old ones had virtually no shine left on them at all so they kind of look like a dogs butt but I amhoping once I put the SS grill cover back on it will kind of hide it until I can replace them. Tonight I teach RA's at church so I am not going to have much time to work but I would like the finish the grill and maybe get the windshield put back together with the wipers and everything. I'm anxious to see how my newly painted sun visors look. The guys here at work have aptly named it the "purple people eater" because it looks purple but still has a mean stance.
 
I had this posted in a thread requesting hood pictures but what do you guys think of this idea. One of the family business' is a graphics shop so they will be making the graphics for the Scrambler. Of course they will need to be custom colors but this is a close but not exactly correct version of what I am talking about. And yes they will match the factory lettering.

I think that the stripes look great! Of course I'm a sucker for the original look!
 
Thanks Polarfire! I am pretty certain that I will go with the graphics. It ain't like its going to cost me anything to at least try it. My little brother is chomping at the bit to do it. Last night and before work this morning I got the window hinges, lower door hinges, brake lights and most of the dash put back together with some new goodies that I picked up. The only thing left of the dash is to put the speakers in which will take all of one minute after I get those stupid little hollow nuts off the post that hold them down. Very happy with how bright and shiny the dash looks with new stuff in it. Hopefully during lunch I can get most of the windshield put back together so I can put it on this evening and get my dash on. After that is soft top hardware and take the soft top to one of my buddies that does interior work for him to sew in some new zippers.
 
Pretty good luck today. Mostly put back together minus the top hardware and the dash.
Love this picture

I think this is the fastest reassembly ever. Maybe you can plan a fall color trip in your new ride.:thumbsup:
 
That looks beautiful. I REALLY want to paint mine. It has no shine at all.
 
Great night to get somestuff wrapped up. Yesterday me and Jeremy got the dash in and after 4 hours of trying to beat a grounding issue we got everything to work properly. Today during lunch I got the stereo wired back up and tuned in for some good music. After work I went to town on getting the top installed. I used all new nuts and bolts and it was pretty tough getting the top stretched back out after a month of being folded up in a cool room. But......persistance paid off I got the top on and now it is ready to polish the windows. This was a must since it is supposed to rain everyday this week. Just have to install a few more eylets in the top for mounting. I'm really liking the twist style pieces over the snaps. Ill post pics tomorrow since I'm on my blackberry right now.
