Pulled all the carpet out of the jeep today came out easy and I was surprised that there wasn't to much rust will be hopefully fixing it this week will be herculiner through out. if anyone has ever done this how much did it take to do the whole jeep?

I really like the paint job! I wish I knew how to do a paint job of that size. Please clear-coat it so this beauty doesn't fade!
