Haha... Rico. I definitely don't think YOU are vintage just the sticker In NSJC years anyway lol I remember looking at your rig at the "fall crawl" in 2002 or 2003 ... the one where you were in the mud hole going up phinney... I had a stock black TJ on 31's at the time... you were putting on a good show... hmmm.. maybe we are all getting old 2002? Wow. I guess I am "vintage" NSJC The ghost of jeep club past! ;D Funny. When Bill first posted Wilma for sale I "almost" bought her. But it looks like you are doing a damn fine job on her!

I used 9 cans in the end... and I know there is still blue on there somewhere that I will find later... Funny. When Bill first posted Wilma for sale I almost bought her. But it looks like you are doing a damn fine job on her! Thanks. I think a lot of people had her in their sites... I tried to resist but when it didn't sell the first day I ran out of willpower lol

Wilma's gone... Willy is in Figured with the colour change a name change was appropriate. Ok... so the paint is done for now. I still want to do the roll bar, softtop frame and rims... but the body is done. I used about 9 cans of OD and 2 cans of primer. I would say I put a solid 5 coats on every part. I am happy with the body work... you can still see the seam where the fender broke but it is solid now and looks much better... before and after pics below. One more night of fiberglass repair and I could have leveled it out much better... but whatever lol Drying with the paper/tape off... I will probably leave it in there until thursday/friday... let it harden up a bit. This is the passenger side fender before and after... again not perfect but much better. Drivers side fender before and after Rear corner before and after... this gouge was about 1cm deep... too much for one coat of fiberglass to repair... And last... A little close up of the hood
