New Jeep! My 48 CJ2A

"rare corner patches"

 

Haha! I just thought you were being sarcastic, as everything seems to be rare these days.

 

to fix the jeep lean

 

Because they want the bodies to look smooth. People dont like the spot welds and the small divots they make, so the paint guys says, "I will give you a great paint job". To make it smooth there is about a gallon of bondo on each side. I have a pretty good fender that was not given a nice paint job ever and the spot weld divots on top of the fender are clearly visible. I left it that way.

Getting rid of the resale red of jeep paint jobs? What color?

 

As I recall from the 70s, brand new Jeeps came fresh from the factory obvious welds. They were stamped, welded and painted ... AFAIK no effort was made to hide the spots and waves in the original metal. They may have done more for the Wagons, but CJ bodies clearly were painted in their raw state, direct from assembly. That was the product.

 

Looks great!!
