Default Mopar/Jeepster Plan is Complete

I have been on this sight asking various questions about building a Mopar inspired Jeepster and I have now come to my conclusion. I would love comments on the plan as it unfolds. First off, about my Jeepster. It's a 1968 and I bought it in Hemet California (around the corner from my house) off of craigslist. Some of you may have seen it on Inland Empire Craigslist in Jan 08 or so. The body and paint are nice but I plan on changing the color. I will post my "to do" list tommorow. This should be fun... Anyone have any name suggestion for a Mopar inspired Jeepster?? Pictures of her will be up very soon I promise.

I drew some pictures in paint. How can I make them smaller in order to post them?

I'd try resizing them in Microsoft Paint.

I find it easier just to post them to a free site like photobucket.com and then link them here.
