Depends on the finish you want. I would sand them and the edges and then finish them with Rust-O=Leum black texture paint. If you want a satin or semi-gloss finish, then spend more time prepping them.

Sorry I don't. My progress is too slow and having to manage the thread ended up being more than I was bargaining for. I'm almost back on the road though which has been a haul!
Man drives his Jeep into a bar. Bartender says, “What can I get you buddy?” Man replies, “A quart of oil and a mop.”
My boys saw you at the show "flexing". We've been supporting RTF from the beginning. Thanks for coming from so far away to support them.
I would like to take some pictures of your awesome Jeep. I am from Oshawa, Ontario. Where are you located? If you are not too far away from me, I would come to your place to take some pic if you don't mind. Cheers, Trusty
Hi Adam. Someone recommended I reach out to you. I live in Gastonia and am looking for someone to do a full restoration on a 65 CJ6. Do you have any recommendations?
Hey rubclt, Do you have any references for how/where to weld the engine mounts? I'm on a new TDK Basic frame and I see they have mount holes, did you end up using that location? So far I can only think to assemble the drive train while on the engine hoist and start dry fitting. Where it gets confusing is how to angle the engine relative to the rear driveline (Sitting at 4" lift)

On the Hemi, I mounted the engine mounts, had a tub bolted to frame. Checked radiator by holding up grill. I didn’t do fenders until after painting and wish I mocked them as the inner fenders needed to be cut around the coil suspension shock towers. Not sure which frame and engine you are installing

Its an AMC360 using the advanceadapter mounts. Frame is a basic TDK from quadratec (No extra options).I didn't factor in the Tub clearance, I'll add that to the checklist. I was primarily concerned about driveline angles to the axles with a 2.5" suspension lift. Just for sanity I was planning to mockup with a T5 and D300.
I’m trying to figure out how to ad a picture to my avatar

Frame and Tub available?

I have a tube available, but its is rough, repairable if you weld better than I do, I will have a frame available in a little while, the new one has not arrived yet.
Trust,
Is your scrambler still for sale? My son is very interested. He wants something reliable. He likes the way you have built yours. The only bad part is we are in Virginia. you can reach him at codydmassey@gmail.com.

I changed my membership from BASIC to Gold Member in late January and sent $120. I am still listed as a BASIC member. Why?

You're showing as gold. Its the badge under your icon. "Basic User" is a kind of ranking of how active you are on the forum. I don't remember all the levels but when you post more, you'll get to the next level after some point. I don't remember how many levels there are -- it's been years since I set that up.

Hope that helps clarify and thank you for supporting the forum!
