Stencils went on today and the finalization of the stripes. Paint got pushed to Friday - I'm getting anxious!

Niiiiice. You got a place to store it? My father in law would KILLL me if I drove it around in the Connecticut winter with the amount of chemicals they put down every time there's a hint at snow or ice.

Once it comes home I'll probably have to kick my brother out of the garage spot to keep it nice and safe inside. I'd love to drive it in the snow but you're right about the chemicals they dump here. I wonder if there is any sort of protective undercoating to apply to the underside of the jeep?

I think the best preventative measure (other than "abstinence") is to give it an under carriage wash and was the rest of it after every time you drive it after they put treatments down. Even if you put an undercoating on, it won't cover every single nook and cranny. I dunno, I wouldn't risk it. I consider mine a show car at this point...

I'm sure once I see it all done and together, I will definitely want to protect it as much as possible, so I won't take any unnecessary risks.

Don't get me wrong, you can take it out in the winter... I took it out on Christmas day but only because it had just stopped raining a crap ton and the roads were dry. Just a little chilly without any windows on.
