    Nice!

    Walck's and the usual suspects carry the window guard welting.

    I have to say that I am still quite inspired. I think that I may have to regale my M38A1 in similar garb, complimented with stars in the appropriate places.

    Again, very nice!

    Thank's! My intentions were to have this as a temporary paint job, but I really like the look plus I get tons of compliments from people so I think it's going to stay. And it's so easy to touch up as I go along and repair areas of the body.

    I got them done for $200 and they did an outstanding job.

    I also like the paint, simple, easy to touch up & something you're not going to cry over if it gets scratched first time you take it off road. I repainted a Kawasaki KLR650 in a textured brown paint (designed for outdoor furniture) & was thinking of doing my CJ6 in it.

    Does anyone know where to pick up a set of those wiper arm guards on the windshield? Mine were missing when I purchased my 66 and would love to put them back on.

    Did you do any sanding after the last coat of pain? I'm doing a similar color but can't get the right consistency on the paint.!:( love the way yours came out.

    I just bought this Jeep a few weeks ago. It's still in nearly the same condition as it was when this forum discussion was active.

    918jeeper, if you're still out there, hit me up. I'd like to pick your brain a little on what you had noticed when doing the work that you did to it.
