well i started the frame today, got most of the rust of which was only minor surface rust. Only had one small section left when the grinder flew out of my hand and got caught in my paint and cut my leg up

but heres the pics before i paint tomorow





I now know that the color it is in the pic below is not the original color as there was a hole lot of it driped on the frame. From what i can tell the jeep has been restored once already. Lots of welding on the frame that was under the rust so it wasnt done by the PO i bought it of as he hadnt started the frame yet. but over all its in great shape

The plan so far is to make it look good but i will be used, like you said "get a new suspension and some skinny tires and hav fun" but of course that might change when i get closer to the end and dont want to scratch it.

I got first coat of grey on (imdoing 2 grey then 2 black) this morning. in about half an hour i will tart thee second. here are the pics

Today was a good day i got both coats of black on the frame.

After First Coat Black really shiny for some reason, the second wasn't very shiny at all



After 2nd Coat Black




There are a few drip and brush marks but overall its good
