Best looking JK I've seen dominator1!!! Digging that olive drab green. So sick of the red ones everyone else is running!

Thanks!!! stay tuned for more. I should get a visit from the brown Santa tomorrow and I am patiently waiting for the wraith width rock jocks.

Here is a final detail we added to it today All done for that phase of the build. He is gonna run it for a while like this, then phase 3,4,or5 starts. We are gonna do up a set of roof sliders.

I dont normally enjoy light bars.....but when I do I enjoy Phil's light bars.

This build is awesome! The cage work is amazing. Do you braze or MIG? The gusset on the light bar with the speed hole is cool too. Great attention to detail. Can't wait to see whats next.

Thanks! I Fully MIG weld the entire thing. I do not braze stuff, as I have had to fix many things that were once brazed. It just doesn't take the beating like welding does.

I saved it from sure death. It was getting ready to be stripped to bare bones and sold off part by part. I couldnt let it have such a death. I now own this piece of art. I am going to be sourcing out a new body for it, as this one has seen better days. Not destroyed, but it is experienced for sure

Here it sits. waiting so patiently for plastic surgery

[ScaleReady]

Time for the transformation!!

[ScaleReady]

Upon removal of the decals, I screwed up the paint job......now I have to paint it also....

My friend Mark is getting the old body. He has a build that needs donor parts

[ScaleReady]

Couldn't let the paint dry all the way before putting it together. I like the new look. Whatcha think?? I know it still needs the details painted, but this is the basic paint scheme. Simple.

Looks great! Way better than before.

[makoroni]

That is really cool looking, Love the blue.

Thanks! Went to HomeDepot and let the kids help pick out the new color. That's what was agreed upon

[dominator1]
