Thanks Jeff! Watching build like yours and Dons and countless others helps keep me motivated. Progress is slow right now as work is still busy and my wife has returned to work from a year of maternity leave. She is a shift work nurse so a lot of evenings I have our one year old boy. I will post an update once I have enough to make it worth while!

Good for you!! Don't get discouraged. It will be a lot of hard work, time and money. Not that you didn't already know that. But to echo what others have said, where there is a will, there is a way.

Hey guys, not much progress. Busy time of year at work plus my little guy is a going concern now he's almost walking, plus the wife back to shift work again, and we just bought a new rig for her, 2016 Cherokee trailhawk loaded so the search for that took up some time. I got the rear inner webbing that makes up the rear window area separated from the roof structure I want to use. I also started blasting the firewall and got a few small patches made and welded in. Hope to soon finish the blasting and get the structure in epoxy. I will post some pics when I feel I had enough for a progress report. Thanks for keeping tabs on my build guys!!

Its a pretty cool build, the best price, AND one of the lowest starting points, can't help but watch  :popcrn:


Pat1973charger

So here are a few pics of the patches I have been picking at, as you can see progress is slow but progress is progress I suppose.

Thanks guys, it's a huge undertaking but hoping I can make it into something.

This is Killer!

i have this odd condition, where the bigger a POS the car is, the more excited i get about fixing it.  This takes the cake, and i love that you're totally nailing it.  It makes everything just that much cooler.

Well done.
