70barracuda Posted May 18, 2023 Author Posted May 18, 2023 Got the windshield installed. Painted the channel with por15 on just the pitted spots and then hosed the whole thing in an epoxy primer. Little seam sealer on the corners but honestly the solder was in still in great shape. Installer said it was better than some body shops so I feel pretty good about it. Chrome trim on a day later and it all looks great.
70barracuda Posted May 24, 2023 Author Posted May 24, 2023 Couldn't help myself from getting the new tail lights. I'll keep my lenses only pair for a spare. Went with the silver on this set and I absolutely love the look.
70barracuda Posted May 30, 2023 Author Posted May 30, 2023 Installed boxyjeep's speaker brackets. Very well made and super easy to install. Sounds so much better having all 4 6.5 inch speakers. Also finally found front sway bar links are fit perfectly. Just had to drill out the bracket and that was it.

Pete M Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 but how do we... "age it" just a bit to match your sweet patina?

70barracuda Posted July 14, 2023 Author Posted July 14, 2023 So I finally got around to clear coating the truck. Man I wish I did it sooner because it looks fantastic. It's poppy's patina wipe on clear. I will have to redo the hood and roof as the stuff just dried way to fast in the humidity. Totally on me though but I couldn't wait until fall to get this done. I mean it took away all the faded-ness of the paint and just left some cool patina, absolutely in love with it.
Pete M Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 definitely what the spoiler needed to fit the truck. looks fantastic!

neohic Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 That looks killer! Any recommendations on using the product or overall review? I've been considering something like this on my CJ after another Scotch Brite and Comet wash.

I've been considering something like this on my CJ after another Scotch Brite and Comet wash. Definitely don't do it with high humidity and heat. On some videos people said they got about a minute before it tacked up. I had about 15 seconds so the paint didn't fully settle and you can see the marks from wiping. I gotta redo it when it gets cooler. But even then it still looks killer. Other than that it was super easy. Wash it with their soap and a scrubby pad, grease remover, clear, dry in 24 hours.
70barracuda Posted August 2, 2023 Author Posted August 2, 2023 Took second at the all breeds in the unlimited class for Cherokee/comanche, first was a beautiful comanche so can't even be mad about it.
89 MJ Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 I see you used ICT billet accessory mounts. Are they for trucks, Corvettes, or Camaros/GTOs?
Bomberjeep Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 Dude. Just read your entire build. This thing is sweet! Kudos to an awesome build. Where about in NJ are you?

70barracuda Posted January 6, 2024 Author Posted January 6, 2024 Got some new seats! They hold me just as good as my buddy's gt350. Definitely gonna have to drop some pounds but now I can drive this thing without moving in the seat at all. Also one final picture before the winter sleep.
