Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

I expected that when I removed the pinstriping, there would be some faded lines in its place. I was okay with that, but I found that what was left on the hood was much more of an eyesore. It's almost like they clearcoated the car after the pinstriping was applied - there's a hard, dirt collecting Ri...

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

Since I want to give the paint on the wheels a better chance to cure, I'm going with a temporary solution in the meantime - Plastidip. I can see the appeal in this product, but I can also see the pitfalls. It does peel off well, but not as easily as the promo videos would have you think. As usual, m...

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

I wholeheartedly agree about the rear stripes being off. I'll be happy to share the AI file with you, but I want to give people here and the JP Motorpool a little more time to offer feedback. I've made numerous changes since I first posted it (only the most recent version is posted here). There may ...

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

Alright, I finally got around to addressing the great Photobucket migration. I hope VGY doesn't screw us over in the future the same way Photobucket did. I've got quite a few updates since I received the winch two months ago, but I'm only going to give them to you a bit at a time. First - I started ...

Re: Alan Grant props-Trowel

Yes, it is the Sun Body hat (my favorite summer hat - I wear it all the time). The shirt is by Dakota Grizzly, but I think it was old stock when I got it four years ago. It's amazing how hard it is to find a medium blue long sleeve denim shirt with two pockets, buttons, no fancy stitching, and (fake...

Re: Alan Grant props-Trowel

I don't have a good photo of just my trowel, but you can see it on my belt in this photo. I bought the one with the veg tanned undyed leather (the tan one) and used some black leather dye from Tandy Leather. I was very happy with the results!

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

I've been too busy working on the Jeep (and just life in general) to update the photos, but I've made a fair amount of progress on the Jeep (to be posted soon, I hope). In the meantime, here's one of the things I've been working on - I welcome your constructive feedback. COBrian's image of the strip...

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

I don't plan on deleting the account, but I will download my archive and uploading to a better host. I'll let my Photobucket account stand filling up their servers, and paying them nothing. The most annoying part is having to go back into old threads and fix the broken links where I still care about...

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

Great, Photobucket wants $400 for a service that used to be free. I'll find a new host for the images, but not right now.

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

Received this in the mail today. Unfortunately, with my upcoming schedule and the work I still need to do on the bumper, I think it'll be about a month before I can put it on the car.
