I've been chasing rust....not a lot, but enough. Rear window is pulled- seems that it was leaking. Pics to follow.
Rust holes above rear window...
Driver door stripped and awaiting primer...

We just scrapped an 04 Bonneville SSE, and wouldn't ya know the front door speakers are an exact fit for early Cherokee/Comanche's and BOSE! Also grabbed the air compressor and rear air shocks...not sure if I'll use them.
Staying late tomorrow to lay down some paint...pics to follow.

Frankie, that is actually two rolling jacks from one of the drive-on lifts at work. Got paint on the cab and fenders tonight (keeping her white). I'll try and load some pics in the AM.-Sent from my QMV7A using Tapatalk

Oh, by the way Kurt, you have officially had a hand in this project.....as soon as we laid down the first coat of clear a small fly appeared out of nowhere and was drawn to the finish....what to do?....well, at our Jeep 101 a few years back Kurt was kind enough to share some surplus stainless tweezers (among other things) with our members, I still had my pair neatly tucked away in my toolbox and it saved the day.

Paint pics...
Mounting CB antenna through L fender to match radio antenna on R fender...
Checking license plate bracket fit on bumper...
Found D-Cell Mag-Lite clips fit fair-lead rollers perfectly, I'll mount them to my license plate bracket.
More reassembly this week, still lots to do but excited it's coming back together.
