Willys Jeepster Tribute Build

[66stepside]

Not one to waste much, I used the left over bed liner from the panel to line the fire wall and the front floor boards of the F.jeepster.

Before:



After:



The roller fell apart 1/2 way thru so I had to scramble to get it completed before the two part epoxy set up... Good times, good times.

Which bedliner did you use? Looking at maybe doing something like this in my truck.

I used an off the shelf product called "Hippo Liner". It's UV resistant and comes in a 2 part set up that you mix together yourself. I tested it out on the tailgate and hidden latching system of the 66. It's held up really well. I used other products in the past that did not hold up well... this stuff does.

After mixing, it generates a bit heat, and cures quickly, so you have to make sure everything you need is ready to go.

I sold some jeep parts the other day so I was able to get the rear driveline done up!



If I weren't helping a buddy move, I'd be driving this beast around the block this weekend!!

Drive line is in, now just tweaking the gas lines and filler neck... Meanwhile, I am going on a parts run in the AM...

While the wife is at work, I plan on stripping a mid to late 70's Cherokee of some parts as well as a 71 waggie way up in the northern county.

A craigslister wants to do some trading my Willys parts for some waggie parts.

So I am packed up and the kids and I are going to make a picnic out of it.



These are the pics he sent me...







I'll be taking the trailer up in the topless, doorless wrangler... Road trip!

The hose lines are being ran, the fame is being painted and I'll be swapping in a GW axle for the locker and better gear ratio.

Meanwhile, I painted the door a 3 stage burgundy/maroon wth 4 coats of clear. I do not recommend Duplicolor single stage paint products from the corner auto parts store. Their spray can stuff is great, but the quart stuff is cr@p.

I finalized the wall and painted a section of it, then hung up some "art".
