Well finally start building

Still here still building. Not as fast as I want but...
Anyway, got paint stripped to see what was hiding underneath. Not to bad had a couple jeep spots to cut and weld in new metal. I found the issues to be where the panels were spot welded together allowing moisture to get in and causing rust. So in most area's I drilled the spot welds. Spread the two panels a smij (screw drive or such) removed any flakey rust between them and treat with metal prep. Then check panel straightness and rewelded spot welds. Then applied rust encapuslator to all seams then applied primer. Next lizard skin sound and thermal. I think I'm going layers on bottom then layers on interior. After the interior I wanted to spray body color (honey brown metallic).Jeep 40.jpg
 
First off thanks for your thumbs up. Finished seam sealing joints today and gave her a bit of primer. I'm thinking tomorrow will be lizard skin day. The build has OMU springs which should bring about 3" lift. I plan on running 33" tires. It originally had a ranchero suspension with 33" and 1" body lift (which I thought looked pretty good). My problem is I have misplaced ( all the body mount stuff) Ya your right I hid it so good I can't find it. My question is what parts do I need to mount this body back on with a 1" lift and a side question the companies that I find with stainless steel hardware kits are all out of stock.
Thanks
