I love seeing something saved from the crusher!If the wrong guy bought it,that's were she'd be!Esp. a Wagoneer,i'm doing mine a little bit at a time .

 

love the woodgrain

 

Thinking about taking the woodgrain off.

 

The wood and lights are what make them so different and special!

 

good job

 

Awesome build... has definitely changed since you purchased it!! I think it would look good without the wood grain... The lights will def. keep it as a different vehicle as referred too a few posts up..

 

 

I'm basically in the same boat as XJStryker. I'll be taking pictures and probably posting my own thread, plan on ripping out the carpet tomorrow and doing all of the welding Sunday.

For your information: A 4x5 foot piece of 18 gauge mild cold rolled steel sheet was $50 roughly and a 4x8' would have been around $80. These normally come in 4x10 sections and they will charge you a sheer charge to chop it. Call around to sheet metal fabricators and tell them you're trying to learn how to weld and restoring your old Jeep, ask if they have a remnants yard. If you're doing small repairs you might be able to snag the right piece. You don't get a discount for buying smaller or larger, it's all by the square foot with sheet metal. The above prices are for Alaska but shouldn't be that far off for other places. Of course, for all I know, in Texas a 4x10 sheet costs $50.

 

Nice build. You brought this woody along way.
Hows that roof rack coming along?

 

random question but how do the headlights on that thing work? top driving lights, bottom high beams? im putting the waggy front clip on and i was just curious

 

Love the woodgrain! Please don't remove it!

 

Just went through this thread great work of bring the waggy back to life

 

Thanks for the comment it was definitly on its last leg when I bought it.

 

no problem... can you tell me if it has 3 tail light plugs or 4?

 

Nope I can't tell ya. Sorry I have no clue what you mean lol.
