Re: Modern "Inspired" 37

I did climb out of the pit after climbing my way out of the jeep. I was amazed that the wheel broke the way it did. That being said, I did lose a lot of parts during the wreck, i.e. drive shaft 20 feet back.

Re: Modern "Inspired" 37

I must update this page since I've been putting it off for some time. I began collecting more parts for the jeep and was continually applying clear coat and polishing it up. She looked good other than a mishap with the hood that forced me to being to repaint it. In mid june I was on my way north to ...

Re: Modern "Inspired" 37

Well I've got to put it back together today. Then I'm going to let it sit for a week, polish it up and apply the door decals and new front bumper. So it kind of depends on your definition of done. I figured if I could get all the paint done then I could start working on accessories little by little....

Re: Modern "Inspired" 37

Then wet sanded to a perfectly smooth finish and laid a few light coats of clear. Got the numbers and hood decal laid. I did forg...

Re: Modern "Inspired" 37

Laid the red stripes today. I did make a change to the original. I shifted the back stripe forward and made it a little wider. I taped it out the "right" way, but the addition of the bushwacker fender flares didn't really work. Since I'm not painting the fender flares, I made the change. I'm letting...

Re: Modern "Inspired" 37

teckman02- Agreed, I need tires. But my birthday is coming up and being a broke college student, I'm planning on tires for my birthday :D So I've got two questions, I want to apply my red today or tomorrow and I want to make sure the angle and size is fairly accurate. Any tips or dimensions on that?...

I did go with 8bitdecals but I purchased them before I really read through the forums so I'm not 100% sure that I'll use them.
Little upset that the hood decal and the side numbers came black but they're recutting them as stencils today.
