Eric, do you have a full side shot? And are you going to paint the fenders to match the rest of the Jeep?

I don't have a full side shot yet. Yes, I'm going to paint the tubes black and sheet tan but the vertical tubes in the fender will probably be tan also.

Very nice Eric. Seems to me you're building it the way Jeep should have in the first place.

I put seam sealer to the fenders and have really been struggling with making that look nice. It says to apply when 70* or more and can be sanded when dry. I've been heating the garage and even applying heat to the seam sealer but its not drying enough to be sanded. I almost think bondo would have been the better way to go.
Yesterday I primed everything, the interior tubes, exterior, bumper, and fenders. I'll paint the interior tubes today, but I'll have to let that seam sealer dry another week and hopefully finish it next weekend.
In the meantime I have some new lights to get wired up.

Here's a pic before I stripped the paint back off the fenders. The seam sealer just looks like crap (it looks worse close up)

Interesting direction this build has taken since the last I saw of it. Nice work.
