Jeep

Started building a tub a few months ago. I wanted a rat rod, but something different. Wish i got more pictures of when i was building the body but.





Still needs a lot of work but had to store it outside so in the booth for some primer.



Started building a frame last week

Welcome to RRR. I'll be watching this build........kinda partial to Willys stuff

Thanks. I actually just looked through your whole thread, looks like a cool project.

Nice work on the body... I have seen a few really cool jeep rods what are your overall plans?

Should look something like this when done

Man I like that... Didn't envision a roof on it but that makes it very cool

thanks. I wanted something different than the other jeep rods out there

Would the top be a lift off ? A lift off chopped top would be super cool ![cl

yes its guna be lift off. still havnt decided if i want doors on it.

You know for those of us that have had or still have jeeps that chopped top helps solve an age old question. Where do I put this thing when its off so it dont take up so much space and wont be in the way?

Nice work!!

well i don't own a jeep but i do own a bronco and one thing i have discovered is if you put the top on 2 saw horses it makes a good shed. my Honda 250 is underneath a bronco top right now

nice build so far man you got some good fabrication skills.

hell you could make jeep replica bodies and sell them to all the rock crawler guys in moab if you really wanted

As a jeep guy, I will be watching this one.

I enjoy the company of those smelly old Flat Fender Jeeps for sure. Your tub looks wonderful so far. You should make them for the vintage Willys Jeep guys out there. I am new at the vintage Jeep stuff but you have got a eye for these tubs.

Might look good with a bikini top on it, have to put roll bar behind front seats would look good all chopped slammed no doors an will be easy to remove if you wanted some sun

I LIKE IT!!!
Will be watching!!

Welcome to RRR! [cl

Your work looks fantastic so far, I'm looking forward to seeing more progress.

One of my old friends has two "flat hood" Willys Jeep hotrods, which he had to rebuild from scratch (new tubs, the whole works). There's a picture of the "blue" one in the "seat belt buckle" thread in the tech tips forum.

Was a fair bit of work, from what he tells me...even with flat panels and no compound curves![

Look forward to this, looks like you're heading somewhere different.[P

thanks guys. Should have some updates tommorow, I always forget my camera though so well see. That blue jeep looks really nice. The tub wasnt too hard to make, but it would have been a lot easier if i had something to go off of. I pretty much just looked at pictures online and made what i thought looked right and fit to what im going for.
