Let me state ONE thing about Doc's jeep. it is NOT intended to be pristine butt anal totally restored and show quality. CAMO likes to have folks climb in - touch and feel - pretend and imagine and hear the stories of what its original intent was for Military use and I try to abide by their...
WE both love it down here actually - feels just like a house we would have owned and a lot more to do.
Got the passenger side finished and in primer and reshot the jeep again in epoxy primer. Due to the dry time down here shooting goes a little faster pace.
Primer has a window to get paint on...
The color is a variance due to shop lighting.
Epoxy in either regular or high build will seal off any paints below and stop induction of oxygen to stop rust.
High build as asked will fill in minor pits etc---but this had to all be block sanded then yet another coat sprayed and YES sanded once...
Thank you...its only the start and will look 100 percent better when done.
There are previous projects under various headers to give to an idea how this one will turn out.

WOW MACCUS - way to go brother. Looking outstanding as we would expect from a PRO.
Double teaming up with hndrsonj is righteous - no way to outdo that team effort.
Still have lots to do - so this is just a status report.
Got the first coat of epoxy high build primer on it this morning - lots of sanding - re-spraying - sanding and then hopefully paint once ALL the remaining body work is completed. Also still more to do inside the engine compartment.
Holy Crap - seems like this is taking forever for me.
Can only work on it about 2 to 3 hrs a day due to medications but we're back on a roll again.
I have not filled the brake system yet and most likely will be towards the end this step takes place so hang in there because DOC will finally have...
OK - settling in finally and got all but the master cylinder installed on the M170.
Gotta find the owner a new drivers seat as his came up MIA in all the move - better off winning the lottery I think than finding a seat frame.
Got more parts ordered as there are a lot of them missing from even...
TWM there are a total of 4 I use at various times due to their hardness.type of repair to fill plus location of the damage .
Project on hold till I get into the new DZ. Reassembled the wheels to it can get transported down to Columbus. Will continue this once all the crap I have gets situated...
I had fans in the windows blowing outward. HVLP guns.
Cover a lot of chit up as well. Yuppers. Added blasting media to the grass to see if I could finally get it to grow that way....and it does.
Appreciate you checking the thread out. It was not a full teardown but close to it -its not what the...
I have one last final smoothing filler coat to do yet and then final block sand again. One of my paddles had some defects in it so you can see in almost the final sanded surface some lines - OOPS. Could have just left these pictures out and you would have never known the difference - but I do...
Jasonic - Ice tea is about all the beverage besides water I am allowed - although I did sip my second beer since getting out of the hospital turkey day. Whatever measurements of stuff you need PM me and I will give my email address so that way my normal gibberish on here will be limited. Like I...
Well the golf ball I know about - he snuck it in when you were leaving. As far as the blue ball - as soon as you told him you were leaving it got ripped into even smaller shreds at the garage - boy was BB pissed of he had to leave.
Man o man - even I would not have done that to him :papabear:
I...
Doing this for a friend that magically appeared today.
M170 freshen up project. Nothing as major as the others but graceously gives me something to do.
Will post up some pre-pics - busy now sitting in the sun (like superman gets his strength from the Sun LOL).
