SSDutch - a 1964 CJ6

Semi gloss black.

 

No decision to make. Old Jeep == rollcage, w/s frame, bumpers and tire sidewalls need to be black.

 

Too nice to work, so I primered the rollcage today:

 

hey!...that would look good with a couple applications of clear coatR) R) R)

Uh, no.

 

Not for me!

 

Mike is a no bling kinda guy.....

 

Yea...I'm expecting some comments when I start using more of that stainless fastener kit...the dash, floor and hood hinges will all get shiny bolts...

I *might* run a set of chrome dog-dish hubcaps. I didn't like them with the red on Dutch but with the gold on SSDutch they might look good. Won't know until it's all painted though.

 

1st coat of black on the rollcage this afternoon - heading out for a on the back patio now...

 

So are WE done yet?:toetap: where are the pics? come on bro we're waitin

We? No wonder it's taking so long...someone else hasn't been showing up!

No progress over the last couple of days - between helping my dad with some roofing then having to recover from helping dad with the roofing...

Hope to get started on the second coat of black sometime today.

 

Couple of spots I couldn't get with a roller - will have to rattle can those but otherwise done.

 

Worked with the boy tonight and got the last bit of rollcage painting done, the plastic all pulled off, and the rollcage off the "crutches" and setting back into the Jeep.

MsBoyink is gone with the camera - so pics later.

Kinda funny...after looking at the Jeep with the cage up on the crutches for so long it looks like a chop-top now that it's back together.

 

I had this vision of low rider ,but it ain't a chebby so couldn't beR)

SSDutch off the crutches:


Interior Now:


Interior when I started:


You boys can keep your Herculined/Durabaked interiors...R)

Heater and defrost tube installed:


I modded the defrost tube - the way it's two pieces of plastic with seams just looked like it would collapse as soon as I tighened on the vent hose. I found a PCV elbow that had the same diameter as the output of the defrost tube, so cut it off and screwed it in to keep it from collapsing. I also put some screws down the one seam as it was already pulling apart. Couldn't complain though - someone sent me this free a while back (can't recall who, but thanks again!).
