1984 CJ7 Rebuild (Pic heavy)

Last summer I started tearing down my '84 CJ7 for a rebuild with frame repairs and a fiberglass body. I will use this thread to try to keep everyone up to date on the rebuild progress.This will end up being a picture heavy thread!This is the last known picture of my Jeep and I before I started tearing it down.Hood, fenders and grille removedHere they are sitting next to the Jeep.After removing the body bolts, I lifted the Body off using the trusty Farmall HPicked the body up and rolled the frame out from under itHere is the body sitting on the groundthe body was so weak it started buckling when it was picked up!Frame and drivetrain sitting on its own.this is the condition of the rear ends of the frame railsI cut all of the rot out.Used the tractor again to pull the drivetrain outI didn't take any pictures of taking the axles and stuff out, but here it is in bare frame rails about to get sandblastedBlasted and primedMost of the body mounts look like this, so I made new ones and welded them inHere's one after replacementI spent most of a day making this framerail pieces for the backGot them welded in good and solidHere is the frame all painted up after I completed the repairs2 coats of primer, 2 coats of Rustoleum enamel paint, 2 coats of rubberized undercoating.Axles back inNo pictures, but before I had to abandon it for the winter, I got the drivetrain back in and set the body on and put two bolts in it to hold it in place.-----------------------------------------------------------------------So that brings us to this year!I decided to go with tube fenders because mine were rusted pretty badly.Ordered from CCFabs, I love these so far, they look really beefy and were far cheaper than some "popular" brands.My Factory inners were pretty rough, so I bought some 22 gauge steel and fabbed my own inner fendersstarted sandblasting my grille and found the lower part where it mounts to the frame was pretty roughSo I cut it off and made this from some steel I had laying aroundI made a makeshift paint booth in the barn to paint in and started throwing some primer on my steel parts
