Kangaroo Wrangler - is that what you were referring to the other day? Didn't know you named the concept already LOL
As for support groups - you'll have to ask my wife. She has been through about a 1/2 dozen of these type of builds... we did get an intercom between the garage and the house at one point (when we had a house that was separate from the garage). ;D

I still haven't gotten the black rubber stripping for the hood ... I heard Apple Glass has it... Look at all the tire clearance I have... ;D ;D ;D Still lots to do on the other one...I have to fit the battery and the computer box I will show pics when it is all said and done... Rod

LOVE the color ... can't wait to see the real thing.
Tell T that she can probably color coordinate a hot tub with the jeep! I recall something about as soon as it can roll out of the garage??

well I just got in from painting my second fender(first coat)..,and I just learn that it has alot to do with the tip on your can... I took the tip that came with my primer and put it on the paint and boy what a difference... The tip was one of them 1.2mm sprays...worked great...nice even coat...makes all that hard work pay off...cause I was not happy with first fender...
Liking it now.... ;D

Waiting for paint to dry is painful...never paint in your work area cause all other work stops...don't want to stir up any dust.. I'm just watching it dry... the battery brackets painted the light brackets the match the jeep put some good rust paint on the jeep where the rock rails are going back to help prolong that cancer they call rust... should be able to put it back together tomorrow when it all dries...may turn the heat on the garage tonight to make sure...

Nice man, That looks much better. And those color-match headlight rings will look killer.

That rig is just such a great color... the black/blue combo is by far the nicest I have seen. Although I am a fan of the electric lime green also
