Restoring my fathers old hunting Jeep

[JohnL48]

So to get the mill scale off I sprayed the panel with white vinegar, laid some paper towels on it and sprayed again then covered with plastic and let it sit for 24 hrs re wetting 2 times. Then I hit it with scotchbrite and rinsed with soapy water. Pleased with the results, the other sides are soaking

Progress today welding it together, then I have to wait for the stake pockets to get here

Other side is on

Also started making spare tire side supports

So I'm pretty pleased on how the bed came out, I have to cut the pocket holes in the top rails then it's off to the body shop.........which is pretty much where it sits

 

[JohnL48]

Pretty much wraps it up for the fab work. Bodywork starts this weekend

My shop mate just doesn't get the whole jeep thing

I've enjoyed the pictures. I have a 1964 Willys CJ5. I'm trying to upload a picture, however, being new to this site, I'm in need of a little help doing so.

Either load pictures through tapatalk, or reduce the file size, then it will load.
