Well....Good Luck with it!😕

I take it the blue paint pic is from before the rebuild? I like the wood bed and the tail lights. Very nice!👍

That is very nice Ken! I like it lots!👍

Your panel lines look great Bob!👍

I hope I didn’t kill your plans.😬 A 4-door TJ is still a really cool project. It just won’t look like a 2020 model.

Beautiful work on that brass! Looks like a fair bit of engineering went into it.👍

Yes, it looks blueish to me. The gunmetal has none of that.

Yes, nice work on that cab! Nice work on everything so far!👍

Found a good way to strip the peeling decals off my 5th wheel. Warm slightly with a heat gun and scrape them off with these plastic scraper blades. It gets the decal and 95% of the glue off. Gunwash on a rag will take the remainder off.

Is that the Revell of Germany kit in the flat box? I have opened mine a couple times and put it back. I find the instructions a little intimidating. You can always put it on hold and start another simpler kit. Get a kit that you’re not in love with so it won’t bother you as much if you mess up a bit.😜

No kit available of the Willys, only a diecast stake box....so I cast one.🙂 Link to my long, slow build. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156181-‘54-willys-pu/

This 1/24 diecast would be a better starting point, as it is a JL. Unfortunately it is a truck, but it has the correct grill, fenders, hood, taillights and the four doors. I am surprised with the popularity of the new(er) 4 door jeeps that no company has kitted them??? https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08DL94PHL/rocketfin-20

You’ve got your work cut out for you! That kit is a TJ body style (turn signals in the metal fenders). After that body style came the JK and JKU(4 door), then came the JL which is what a 2020 would be...or JLU? There are as far as I know, minor differences between the JK and JL. This kit may be a better starting point. I have messed with the Revell kit but have not seen the Meng kit so I don’t know how detailed it is. Good Luck!

You WILL need patience while waiting for sprue glue to cure, if that’s the route you go.

Little jars that I got from Michaels.
