    Just picked up a 67 Jeepster Commando. Its already half apart from previous attempts.
    It runs and drives somewhat but I'll need some help getting the missing floor supports fabbed up as well as other dimensions to straighten the body out.
    Initial plans are to pull the top and then the body and start cleaning up the frame for paint. I have later leafs to swap out the monoleafs and a later D44/D30 that can go in. Then a lot of bodywork!!

    Looks like a good project. Wish I had half as good a starting point with mine.

    Looks like you got your hands full! Just Jeepsters out of St. Louis would be a great place to start for some floor replacements. Good luck.

    Thanks!
    I think I'll order the inner rockers from them and then fab the rest myself. I picked up another 67 that I thought would be a jump start but I now look at it as another project because instead of adding metal I'd have to cut out a lot of funky patches and untwist the body.
    I'm ordering the inner rockers soon so hopefully I'll get a chance to start the projects.
