    I am committed to being ready this weekend. Or perhaps I should just be committed?!

    My goal is to have it on the trailer and ready to head to your place at 2 p.m. this coming Friday, which would put me there about 4 o'clock.

    I can't wait!!!!

    Got a lot done today. I was missing my axe holder, so my neighbor torched a rib off a shipping container door he had lying around the yard (?!) and we cut it to size, bent it and welded it on. (Something like 5% nickel content in that shipping container steel, he says.) Snagged a footman loop off my CJ for it too:




    How many of you have this thin piece of metal cracked and/or broken? At the top of the door between the "wing" window and the roll-up window. Both sides on mine were broken. Got them fixed today too:





    Got all the areas primered where I'd sanded down to bare metal. Over the next day or two I'll hit the rest of the yellow (gotta buy more primer first....that stuff goes fast). But the sanding's done. She's almost ready....

    My door had both sides broken too. Is your hood cracked?

    Both of my doors had the same cracks before I welded them up. No cracks in my civi hood that I can tell, but there may be one or two hidden in the huge pits in the metal, lol...

    My stock doors had the cracks. The rusted out and trashed doors I cut up to make the roadster doors were fine. Figure that one out.

    Yeah, there's a ~1" lateral crack right in the middle of that primer spot on the passenger side where it steps up to the higher center level (right where Warwick's hood goes from white to black). It's also cracked at the very nose. PO had lathered Bondo on it. I took all that down to mostly metal again and just smoothed out the wrinkles with a little body filler and will live with the rest of the imperfections. It's just too flexible to be doing much Bondo there. Besides...it's an Army truck, not a Porsche!

    Door failure is VERY common on FSJ's, too. Nice repairs. One of these days I'm gonna have to get a welder. I already have 220 in the garage, so I'm 1/2 way therre!

    It's a surprisingly thin piece of metal, huh? My neighbor used an oxy/acetalyne torch with a brass (?) rod to fix it. What's that called? Brazing? I don't know. I'm with fsjguy--got 220 in my garage and even have a 1964 Craftsman arc welder, but that's as far as I've ever gotten!
