Keep rocking it! You are doing a great job! Buildflycrash what type of welder are you using?

 

HF special.

 

I got the driver side mostly welded in tonight. I’ll get it finished tomorrow. Sorry forgot photos.

 

No Jeep work Saturday





38 miles of mostly dirt roads and single track

 

I did get a bit of work done Sunday.

The girl thought I was doing something artistic.


Used the HF hand brake to get a decent 90* bend


Front of the bed and over the riser.


My welding is poor so I’m getting lots of grinder practice.


Tranny tunnel was pretty rotten. I had to make only two tunnels to get a decent fit.


You maybe can’t tell but this is looking lots better.

 

A welder, a hammer and great persistence can do wonders on a jeep rebuild project. Good looking job!

 

A little progress.



Welded on nuts for transmission cover.

 

My first but weld patch. Fender well just behind driver. The gaps are kinda big.



Far from perfect but....

 

You picked a good place to practice. Keep it up

 

Got some primer on the bottom.



Filled the gaps and smoothed the joints with fiberglass.

 

No Jeep work today. Did get 48 miles on bike

 

Not sure if you already use this method to do your body work patches, but I find it works well to cut the patch metal to the size required, then hold that on to the body where the patch will go and scribe around the patch with a nice sharp scribe.

Then cut to the line and do a final easing out to size if needed.

Eliminates big gaps which make welding harder.

 

That would have been good to do. I think I used a sharpie. Learning. Thanks

 

Sweet bike

 

Lots of grinding. Lots of cleaning. Lots of primer. Then BAM .

Rusrolium hammered.


HF rubberized undercoating.

 

I flipped the tub over yesterday and stared with the wire wheel on the inside. The more I look the more I find to fix. There are a hundred small holes drilled in the door surround and around the top edge of the tub. Looks like I'm going to have to paint the outside of the jeep as well.

 

Anyone have a photo handy of the frame boxing around the spring hangers? Saw a few nice parts a few weeks back but can't find anything now.

 

Made some progress getting the inside sealed and tidy.
