Project Tough Truck
JENSSEN replied to littlezeeker's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
May want to check with the police, but I know in Canada you need to have a red reflector on both sides of the rear of the car, factory they are in the tail lights but now with LEDs you don't have one,.. Just thought I would shoot that out and maybe save you a ticket. Looks good though! I like it -
Just a quick question/reccomendation if that's just primer on your floor board you need to seal it with some sort of top coat (paint, por15, rhino liner, ect) as primer is pours and won't protect your floor from moisture,,....

2nd coming of the Comanche,.....
JENSSEN replied to JENSSEN's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
So most people think I have a boat load of cash into tools but to be honest most of them can be bought at places like harbor freight or princess auto. Cheap body hammers to use (and modify) for what you need, some dollies , chunks of 2x4's , old sockets, you name it , what ever makes the steel move the way you want it to, here are a few I am using: One of my dent pulling techniques,.. Yup I weld screws or nails to the body then pull, now I try to follow the damage the way it occurred ; Then once it's close you can hammer and Dollie it to be in place, sometimes you get it perfect other times you need a bit-o-filler. B Piller is getting sooooo close And here it is as of when I pulled the pin for the day on it,.. Stay tuned ,.. I guess I should finish the other on too :$ -

Well I spent a few hours tapping and welding,.. Added some filler to cover off the few deviations left behind and here we are awaiting the oh so fun part of sanding 90% of it out lol -
This sir, is a thing of beauty....its the thing poets in Paris wrote about in 1825, its like ripened cognac from 1765, its something Alexander the Great would conquer continents for, this door panel is the thing Hawaiian kings named volcanoes for, Michael J. Fox went back to the future for an interior like this and Michael Jackson "Beat It" for this, Muhammad Ali finally admitted, "No, this is the Greatest"!, Ronald Reagan tore down a wall to have this, Abe Lincoln wrote a proclamation about it, Einstein theorized about it, and I, my friend, wish I had a nice black interior too. This is the best door panel I've ever seen! What He said! Super jelous of the black interior!!!

I know it doesn't look like alot of progress but it is! Some color on to see the highs and lows Some more tapping,.. And less paint! Step in the right direction Now I found I had to close up my incision to keep tapping the highs and lows out, it's not finished yet A little more straightening is required in the b pillar ,.. Another day -
Very nice work!!! Keep it up, and thank-you for saving it!!

Now that the b-pillar is somewhat straight I now need to pull the pillar out approx 1/16" as the door is still not quite square and the A-Piller will need a new skin. I plan on hitting that Saturday,... More pics and details to follow :) -

JENSSEN replied to JENSSEN's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
Well the drivers door needs to be replaced, fix the B piller and take the whisky rinkle out of the box side, replace the skin on the A Piller,change the column out, get locks for the doors, windshield and make it road worthy,.. Then I can see where it can go from there,.. The 2.5 mated to the 4 speed is pretty lethargic soooooo going to see where it goes ;) -

Step #1 -
Well I put it to a poll,... And well you all won and made me go buy the other Comanche,... Now when I went to go get it, it was gone someone had taken Him away,... I popped back in a few days later to ask the question that was killing me,... Was it shredded or put to the yard? My friend who works at the autowrecker said it had been sold bu for what ever reason it was coming back and to my un-belief moments after He said that it was back! I returned home with a nice bottle of red wine, explained to my wife how no one else was going to save this brave little soul and I got the thumbs up!!! So may I present to you the "latch key jeep" that is now going to be known as "Latch" for short And before anyone asks ; yes this is Comanche #2 , Jeep #5 we own at present and no I am still not finished the first Comanche LOL
