About the same time we worked the area where the front end and front fender joined up. We wanted to smooth the transition. We needed to make all of accessible, so most of it bolts on and off.

With the front fenders placed, we went back to N*rthern Tool for more trailer springs and made up the front bumper. She also wanted a spot to sit and eat her lunch fo we made an expanded steel seat at the front. We also started playing around with the grill. Everything looked good so we...

Couple of pictures from fitting the front fenders and building up some running boards.

Ok Back to the '29 4 door. So we tried out the body on the 2wd frame. We didn't like it and she wanted a 4x4. We looked over at the chevy frame that I had already modified for another project: We removed the dodge sheet metal and installed the Ford stuff. It fit Like i had made it for it...

Ok, So last set or pictures for the modern Jeep. I think it turned out pretty well.It still needs a little interior work, but done for now.

I guess I've done these out of order, sorry. We had to fill in the holes left over from the doors. I used some 16 gauge steel and we bent it by hand. A little bit of spray foam, some fiberglass, and a little bondo did the trick. Then more epoxy paint, I can still smell it!

Test fitting the bed. On then off again, way too many times.

She laughs at me when I can't see, or need really bright lights. She could also kneel on the floor all day then bounce back up, I have to crawl around like a crab for a while as I straighten up. We then started painting the bed...

I looked around to see if there were any truck beads that I could modify to fit, but none would work or look right. I Bought some rear fender covers / protectors that were made for my model jeep and we used them as a base to custom build the bed. I am amazed how quickly my daughter learned the...

Chrysler had a kit that they would sell that could turn a 4 door wrangler into a 2 door truck, But it was , in my mind more like an El Camino style, where the body lines continued from the door all the way back to the rear end. I wanted mine to have a separate bed with a gap in-between. I found...

The Day I drove off the lot with my Jeep, they Un-vailed the new Jeep wrangler trucks, and I kicked my self a little for not waiting to buy one of those. Man they are sexy. But then I took a closer look... No offense to any one who owns one, but on closer look, they just don't do it for me...

Bach to the boring. So I realized that I could get bed liner that could be tinted, several hundred dollars later I have Stinger Yellow bed liner in 2 part epoxy! We both ruined a good pair of pants, but here is the result;

Ok, so on to the cool one, But a quick confession... We started the project late last year and I did a lot of the frame and basic stuff on my own, with visits, planning and consultations with my daughter. She really started in this spring when she finished school. And then I went fishing...

I dug through my pile of parts and found a Bumper off a '80s Dodge truck. We cut and modified it to fit the front. It is painted with black bed liner.

Ok, so the boring one first... The first thing I did was order a Gladiator front end kit from Chris Durham. This is a great kit and is super easy. It turns the boring-every-day front end of a JK wrangler into an 1960's Classic truck. We stripped all the Tupperware off the front end of the...
