well no pictures because it looks about the same, a ungly yj body sitting on some saw horses, but ive gotten a little bit of work done. almost all the green paint is gone excpet on the inside. i bought a jitterbug sander and sanded the sides down to a smooth finish. hopefully this weekend i can primer it and get it ready for paint. i may start work on the rolled one also.
