1970 Jeep Rebuild

My daughter test fitting the seats:




Jeep moving on its own:




I finished the wheel well notch, Re-installed old roll bar until I get my tubing bender,So I can make new one. mounted the drivers seat. All wiring is done. I shot the fenders and hood, just need to color sand and buff then i can install. I still have tail gate to finish and the glove box door. I need to measure for shocks and order those. Its getting close!

 

Once its running I need to taketo muffler shop and have new mufflers installed.

 

Finished the drivers side wheel well notch:

...and the passenger side:

 

Fabricated the seat mounts:

 

The passenger side folds up far enough to allow access to the tool box under it.....I also can remove passenger side by pulling pins. i used the original latch to secure the seat when in position.

 

Looking good Rob! Simple and clean design.

 

Thank you!!!

 

Corbeau JP extra wide seats

 

BEAUTIFUL Jeep!! Only 2 question, whats your address, and you ready to start on mine??/ lol

 

Close to being finished. Just need to finish the tail gate and some misc items:




Fenders and hood before installing:

 

That's beautiful. Love the color. And the seats frames are nicely done. Great job!

 

Thank you, the color is from a 2013 Corevette.

 

It's hard to tell from the pictures but the black in the middle of the hood is actually carbon fiber buried in clear. I'll try to get better pics in the sun where it shows up.

 

I like that color too. Beautiful Jeep.

 

Thank you

 

Where did you get the chrome stuff like the windshield and hood hinges? Is that custom plated?

 

Very Nice..............It's going to be real tough taking that Hunting again...........at least until you get the first few scratch's in it!

 

It's always an interesting experince to put the first scratch in a vehicle. Years ago a roomate stomped into the house, sucked down a beer. Threw the bottle aginst the wall so we had a bit of glass to clean up. He smacked his 2 week old Toyota PU into his 1964 Ford PU. The next day he could see the humor in it. OK, no worries about scratches now.

 

jeep is gorgeous.
