Looking good! I'm enjoying the video documentary of the progress!
Thanks! We're always concerned that what we do might be boring and we're always glad to hear that guys like you enjoy it.
i was hoping for another segment and boom! hope delivered :thumb:
LOL!! Cindy has been slaving away at these videos and trying to get these out once a week. With Christmas and New Year's coming up, that may not happen but she seems determined. :crazyeyes:
Another really awesome video! I really need to find the time to learn how to weld so that I can get an old Jeep too.
Thanks! As far as welding goes, all you really need to do is learn the basics and then the rest is just practice, practice, practices. I lack talent and so if I don't do it for a while, I get pretty rusty but I've been doing so much of it on this project that before going to paint, I was starting to get happy with my work again.
I'm enjoying the watch. Takes me back with memories of when my mom owned one in the late 70's. Thanks for that Eddie.
It's so cool that so many of you guys on this forum have or had an old CJ back in the day. :yup:
Eddie,
Great video as usual!! I like the way it is coming together. One question from a noob and a non-welder, how would you fix the hole of rust on the panel you were working on? Would it be like fixing a hole in drywall (screen patch and spackle)? Thanks!!
Big Mike
The right way to fix it is to cut out all the infected metal, cut a pieces of new steel that matches the new and bigger hole you created, weld it in place. I have done this to fix a similar hold on the floor of our Jeepster Commando but it takes a lot of work. Being that we are installing Poison Spyder rocker guards that this area will be covered up, I decided to just knock out as much of the rotted metal as possible, treat the infected area with POR 15 putty to prevent any future rust and then patch the hole with fiberglass body filler. I believe you'll get to see some of this in the next episode.
Some may look at an old jeep like Jane and see some fresh paint on her and not think much at all about the amount of work that was laid down under the paint. Thank you for showing us some of those hidden details that you are putting into this project. It's truly an amazing amount of work that is involved in a project like Jane. Thank you both (camera-girl Cindy!) for bringing us along on this garage adventure!! [emoji106][emoji3]
The crazy thing is, we're not even doing half as much work or as nice of a job as someone who was doing a true frame off restoration. But, we're glad that you're enjoying what you see just the same.
I really enjoyed this video. You managed to capture the feeling of having gone along to a friends garage to help out......
That's awesome to hear - thank you :yup:
