to much jeep crap. I have to have a specific problem before i can offer a specific solution. You wanna know how to do something...ask. you wanna see something built that i havent made already.....ask. Wanna see if there is an easier way to do something....ask

If im not on the computer and you have a problen .....ask (call or txt) 515-779-4217 (9am-8pm iowa time), names Corbin

that goes for everyone

Im all about people bettering their cherokees, wether they pay me to do it, need advice, parts, or just wanna show off there junk to someone who will appreciate it

Thanks for wishful thinking. I am more of a thick metal guy, thin is guna be a bit of a change. I am guna use one of my 110v welders instead of my 220v. should help a little.

If i do butcher this one i still have 2 more back up hoods to murder so im not all that worried about it if i do mess it up. But since my time is so limited these days i would like to hit it first try.

once i get the hood done i have to welding a few small patch panels and ill be ready for paint (or rhino liner)

it actually isnt that hard to weld. it will be a few hundred little tacks (metal will warp if to hot) . the crappy part will be finishing it. im not a body man and never claimed to be.

hopfully i will get to work on it next week end

I am still tring to figure hieght out in my head. 1.25, 1.5 or 1.75. Im sure it will be easier once i get all of that stupid glue oout of there and can mock it up and get a good visual
