Finally just heard back from the JY. It's ready!! Woo!

Now, if the weather would change for tomorrow.. it would be better (suppose to rain).

So.. I won't know how terrible the ENTIRE interior looks like until I go! Darn people with filling the tubs with parts.. :lol:

I can take a look for you, Jeff.

Also, the junk yard just called. He can no longer meet at 11am, so it got pushed back to 1pm which puts us in Pepperell around 330/4pm. Just before the sun sets.. :doh:

For your info... We are working on the jeep today. I'm figuring around 12:30pm. Send me a PM if you'd like to come but dont have the address :).

Yesterday went well. Got about 4 hours in, since there wasn't much to do but take off the body :lol:

Thanks everyone for helping!!!

See you around then today.
I'll bring the tools we need for doing the brake lines, some foam to seal the heater duct and the Herculiner kit.

while I'm waiting for my skid plates from UPS... I decided to play with paint.net to see how "weird" the Jeep will look in the end..

and... I'm not sure what to think of it!.

Hopefully, tomorrow (Saturday), we can put on the new tub! Let me know if anyone is around and would like to join in. I will post a time later on tonight.

I am heading up there now to do another coat on the frame.

I can prolly help out for a while



I'll check for updates in the AM, I can be there but if it's just to install a tank skid, that's a lot of driving (2 hr round trip) for not much work. How many people we need to move the tub into place?

Well... I ran out of spray paint.. And the hardware store closed at 6..

I'm thinking I'll be up there around 11am and finish spraying the front end of the frame.
The skid plate bolts are sprayed with PB in hopes of an easy removal. Ha!

OK... I'll aim to be there about 11:00 Saturday.

Will we need a shop crane to drop the tub on?
I have one here I can easily bring over....
