    Not my Jeep, but my father and brother's. 47 CJ2A, the tub from the firewall back was custom made by my brother about 10 years ago and its been painted only in primer since then. Last week my dad decided it needed some paint as it was starting to show a lot of rust through the primer, so he mixed up a bunch of leftover paints and ended up with this:

    I stretched the frame to get the extra foot.

    The springs have no clamps on them as well.
