Ground-up Flat Fender Build
So... we are working on a flatty. Well we have wagoneer axles and a Chevy drivetrain, but there will be some flatty. In all reality I'm just building a 4x4 that will look like a jeep. Not much jeep, but still a fun build. Hopefully I can retain the nostalgia of the icon while still having a modern and reliable 4x4. Enjoy!

Paint (why do I bother)
Yes, I decided to paint my jeep after finishing up the suspension and axle work. It looke really nice when it was finished, but after the first few scratches I didn't think of it as paint anymore. I liked the primer gray look a lot, but I guess once again I can't leave well enough alone. The paint turned out really great though and I enjoy practicing up on my painting skills for that time when it really matters. This was the 4th rig I have painted and the first time I used a clearcoat basecoat paint.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDZANI3Vs8zrzP5u9q4rgH2HaSmNS_qh7ApKXWe923JQSrlTW_Jnxbrz2Rpyrliu_1brMI-lN_WP3tnp2ubS53-HfONs4axc5Xlq65raCnHoqWfUX0Vdm29M84Vh1Hn3AwO8CBL7ZuguU/s320/paint1.JPG)
