    Well, I haven't been able to do much panel repair on Shaggy due to some honey do's that are keeping me occupied lately, but I thought since the carpet layers are here, I'd take some time to post a few pics of my progress, just to prove that I haven't abandoned the repair process altogether. Here are some before and after pics of the rear patch panels.

    Sweet! Did you make those panels or did they come that way?

    Nice work. I didn't recall seeing panels stamped that way.

    Go for it! I can't tell you how handy they are. Even if you have just one jeep body to do. Pretty much all your welding will be either flat or vertical - no more overhead stuff. No more scraped off undercoat and grease in your eyes - because you can scrape it off the bottom of the tub while standing up. (or sitting down, if you're so inclined.

    When I bought the jeep in 1970, it had 1958 Chevy Impala taillights. I kind of like them so will be putting them back in.
