Jeep Grand Wagoneer

this truck showed up with badly applied vinyl woodgrain and painted over rust on the roof and about 500 other problems.

the hood on the truck was full of fillers and had a horribly applied jelly undercoating on the bottom. with a better hood we repaired the damage with lead

working out all the problems

also added aluminum to a tj jeep gas door to make it fit the body.

great fit!

we also built a defroster vent overlay out of aluminum.

now you see why….

working more on it.

finished… added a full rubber trim around the part to account for the expanding and contracting of the dash pad.

going to be painting some wood grain.

more woodgraining..

finished side panels

the trim installed. lots of holes to fill. I plan this year to build some tooling to fabricate this trim out of aluminum or steel so i could be cut and welded to fit and then held on like typical tri five chevrolet trim. the options could become endless! As it is the trim is a TPO type of plastic and is a pain to deal with.

the trim painted

I liked doing this. fun and tiring.

the roof and hood painted. the bottom of the hood looks just as crisp!

we also refinished the wheels. before… and then blasted..

the backside of the wheels refinished

and the finished wheel

restored the tail lights with candy paint to bring back the red!

the old dash woodgrain

the finished dash woodgrain

lots of detail work on this dash.

redyed the seat belt housings to match the interior and had new webbing stitched in.

built a spare tire rack for under the truck. keep dirty tires away from the white leather.

The finished product.
