That is a good looking jeep, don't see many with minimum rust, funny how those early windshields keep popping up, good luck on the project, good looking M211 also. Hambone
That's hat I call smart blasting, No need to strip all the paint from the good parts just to say you did it. Blast the suspect areas and rough up the rest and done. Less mess and less waste.
Today in the afternoon I had a chance to blast the drivers side.
Here is the fuel tank area. Not bad.
Here is the problem area.
That seam is all rusted and you can see the ground through it. Plus the rusted area where your feet rest has a lot of pin holes.
What needs to be the plan here? Do I need to find a front drivers floor and use parts of it to weld in? Do I need to go ahead and plan on doing a rotisserie job?
So I laughed when I saw this picture. Notice the lower area on the tool box divider that extends into the center frame rail. See the large gap? When I did the test piece of our panel it looked the same way and mine was cut so I could not tell how well the original fit. I tightened the gap and put in a radius to keep it to a minimum. Looks like that was a waste of time! I have a tendency to get carried away with details!
