Good luck with the painting in your garage! I did the same thing on mine... it turned out okay. I was just getting done with the last coat and my dad came charging into my shop with a swift fling of the door waving all of the plastic I had hanging up dropping dust all over my truck. MAKE SURE YOU LOCK YOUR DOORS BEFORE THE FINAL COAT!!! Great job on the rest of the truck! I like the idea of bringing something back from the dead.

yeah stupid me I apparently threw away the hockey stick door handle so I had to put back the regular ones

I also f*cked up the speaker grill and that was the only option that was left for them.......

 

and when I went to put back the exterior door handles both studs broke off :fs2:

now I'll have to go to the junk yard sometime next week jamminz.gif

 

now only minor details to finish it

I had ordered my YJ brake lines for the front but the guy at the shop never ordered them

so instead of getting them today I will get them tuesday

with those all brake lines will be new

 

the booster and master was replace today found them at the JY for 25$ a piece

 

and also while there my girlfriend said to me .......... why didn't you take them off the comanche over there ????

 

what there is a comanche here?? to my surprise they just got a 2.5L LWB white with beige interior

I was so hoping to see a dana44 or an AMC 20 under but no luck but a nice find for replacement......

A lot of glass companies will come to your house; do you not have that option?
