I really like that color. I also like the AEV vehicle. I remember seeing the prototype for the Brute in Moab at the Easter Jeep Safari circa 2006? I am excited to see how your project turns out, I think it will be really neat!

Thanks for your input everyone. I really like this color as does my son, so we will be using this color. We are also going to camo wrap the bottom half. The jeep brute is a dream vehicle of mine, but at 40-50k i will build my own version.

Did some body work on a fender today. Its been years since i did body work, but im happy with how its turning out. I still need to take care of some dents on the top of the fender. Maybe i can do that tomorrow. Just got called to drive a train.

Excellent work Ron! I wish I could have a fraction of your skills with body work. The parts look really nice.

Thanks Esteban. To be honest the cab and top have me a bit worried. Its going to be a lot of work.

Picked out the cab, cut it, fixed some dents, and started to sand blast.

I'm tuned in now Ron and RonJr. :drool:

I dig the dusty sage and black decision too. Although it is tons of work it will be prouder than a 4x you can buy....or can't buy a$ well.

Good job....key in on Rawmis 64 Daily Driver build...he used a lot of everything but used jeep suspension or axels.....anyways maybe some ideas to work off of and good pics.

Its been a while, i had to take care of some honeydos.

and its cold out there! I just placed an order for a lot of metal. I ordered- Sheeting, tubular, and angle. It should be in sometime this next week. So i will start posting pics again as we get going. I cant wait. As long as i can fab the rear of the cab, the rest should be fairly straight forward.

Here is an 8ft metal brake i just got so i could bend the bed side panels and tailgate sheeting. Im using 18 gauge sheet metal and 1x2x.120 for the side top rails. .065 (1/16") would have worked, but i chose the .120 (1/8") because it will add some weight to this bed and it wont dent as easily.

Your fabrication skills cover everything!
Maybe I should move to Winslow...
