    I have just got all the parts back from my painter. Here is a sample of the Before and After effects.

    Also looking for suggestions to mount the headlight buckets. The original black paper gasket came all apart when I removed them. My inclination is to RTV the buckets in. Or is there a source for the paper gasket?

    [its been a month and 3 years since the project rolled in. it may get back on its feet yet!]

    Looks Great! Nice job at straightening the grill too.

    I just got some gasket material and cut my own gaskets.

    More pic's, I have a suspicion that you whole jeep is painted and looking good, therefore you should show us a pic of the whole Jeep.
