| |  Thanks Jim
Jim,
Website working better with use of the stop buttom between addresses (pages): No advertisements though.
Loose Tilt Steering column. The steering column was floppy on the top half (In cab) when it was running, disassembled down to 4 e-socket/head bolts. Used Article: Asylum | Men's Lifestyle | Humor, weird news, sex tips, fashion, dating, food and gadgets States only 2 are accessible. Even states most mechanics are content with 2, however was able to get all 4. 
For the rear frame repair (post soon: tonight?) my friend Lee and I made a single patch for each rail.
Thats for the info with cage, I have some thinking to do: My Tube Doors wll be a problem!
With the body panels. Will seperate every panel and repair/replace (Hopefully mostly NOS) Need to decide how to attach panel to panel. Looking into military grade adhesive.
Jeff

I have a buddy who owns a body shop and swears by the panel adhesives, so much so that he gave me his panel spotter; doesn't use it any more. They tested adhesives and spot welds between two pieces of sheet and then pulled them apart with the frame machine, and the spots gave up every time. The cllinker will be that most panel joints in a Jeep have only about a 1/2" mating surface. I don't know if that will be enough area for the adhesives, but I'm guiessing that it will.
While you're waiting to get around to the tub, think about how you're going to get it back together in the proper alignment. You'll have to take lots of corner-to-corner measurements for starters. The good thing is that the stock tubs weren't exactly precision assemblies, so you might be able to do even better than factory, not that it really matters. Only critical condition is making a hard top fit. Mine doesn't.

Not the article I have! If you click the translated link: "Grammar Nazis and Worlds Biggest Boods!" I try again: Tilt Column Repair
Not sure what happen with the two pictures from the 2:45 AM Post, regarding the removable of overlapping tabs on the body mount. You can see the tab removed in the 2:37 AM post. I try to repost the pictures from the 4:03 AM Post on 5/19/09: 102_0322.jpg 102_0320.jpg 102_0323.jpg 102_0319.jpg
Last Picture should have whats left of the stock rear X-member

She may be a bit stiff! Hard to get out all the rust before welding, maybe a little Phosphoric Acid (H3PO4) would have been wise... 102_0441_00.jpg 102_0444.jpg 102_0605.jpg |
