After finishing the bodywork, priming, and block sanding of the doors I was finally able to turn the Jeep around and start to tear apart the front clip. Since I am not too fond of the Bullnose front end (plus mine is not in very good condition) I am removing it and replacing it with a more traditional type early "Jeepster" front end.
I am replacing it with a CJ7 grille with some custom made Jeepster ears, YJ fenders, and a lengthened Jeepster hood made by combining two Jeepster hoods together.
