Re: Progress report
Looks like a really good rescue. Nice work. You did a lot of work to make that body look that good.

Re: Progress report
Have you considered putting her first name or nickname on the side of the jeep over the wheelwell? If you paint it on, don't tell her....let her run across it on her own...I'm sure she would get a kick out of it!

Re: Progress report
Or in script on the side of the lower windshield. I've seen that done before and it looks classy if done right.
I may do that for mine, if and when I get it that far done. My wife has been quite understanding of my obsession, errrr um , my jeep hobby. HA!

Re: Progress report
Very fine work indeed. It is always nice to see a jeep stenciled something other than 82nd or 101st.
Too bad you don't have more photos of your work while it was in progress. Kudos to your wife for her understanding. I am thankful mine was too.
