Came for the Jeep. Staying for the Mustang!! Can't wait to see that beauty brought back to life!
Also +1 on the JCW

This is looking awesome! Thanks for detailing the process especially on the body work. Eventually I will get to this phase on my project and its great to see that you can get these kinds of results working in your garage at home with a reasonable investment in tools.

[@NickDowner]

thank you sir!! I'm hoping for a good result in the end 😃 it's been tough figuring it all out but I think it's coming along!

[@amydowner5408]

Omg Nick ... Looking fabulous... You've made alotta headway!!

[@RecreationIndiana]

Subscribed bro! Just bought a 73 CJ5 today so I’ll be tuning in a bunch!

[@franciscocrespo8339]

Nice job Nick.

[@NickDowner]

Thanks Francisco!

[@robertperrin4070]

Consider painting it that acid green color that is one of the old paint layers. Looks great.

[@NickDowner]

Ooo great idea! I was actually thinking the same. Thanks for watching Robert!

[@edwardp4417]

Oh yeah, under the roll bar is a classic rust spot for CJs. Mine was pretty bad too.

[@NickDowner]

Eek! That's for watching Edward!

What year Jeep, as I had one very much like that one with a solid tailgate .1976 CJ5 black Baja Bucket Seats 305 V8, 305. I sold it to a Detroit Lions player .

Looks good, couple of suggestions, 1st one take the filter out of the gun when you spray primers, 2nd to save money they make a " dmt" primers (direct to metal) high build, and you should be using a 2.0 to a 2.4 tip for the high build 😉

[@NickDowner]

Oh yeah? Does the filter slow the flow of the thick primer? I think the tip I was using is 2.5.... will a smaller tip produce a finer mist? Thanks for watching!

[@leonardwalters154]

@@NickDowner your basically spraying on body filler ,the gun filter hinders the amount of fillers, 2.5 tip is fine, a great person to watch is pharraway on TH-cam, he can explain a whole lot better than I can

[@NickDowner]

@@leonardwalters154 oooo great info! I appreciate the tips! :)
