A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Got a kitchen pass for tonight's football game due to the weather. Plus who wants to spend an evening in Robinson. So I started polishing the trim on the Wagoneer. Here's a before and after of the taillight bezels.

Body shop is in Waco. I'll try and get by there this week and get some pics. To be honest there won't be much body work. Absolutely no rust and only one small ding near the right rear tail light that they will repair and I asked them to prime, seal and shoot it navy blue metallic. Original color was a baby blue but the original owner had it painted navy blue before it was even delivered to him. It was jammed on that repaint so I didn't want to get into the expense of having it jammed again to get it back to its original color. 


I've attached a photo of in progress blasting before I got it done. If you zoom in to the tail light, you can see the original color

With a light weight aluminum car trailer...it'd make a pretty shnazzy tow vehicle. :)

I like your way of thinking. I was able to pick up another complete Wagoneer for $100 that I'm using for parts. One of the first things on the list is the factory tow hitch that it has along with the roof rack.

Managed to stop by and get a few pics today among other life happenings...  There were a few spots that they wanted to repair before moving forward. Maybe we'll see some color next week.

I've been working on polishing all the trim. All was removed before blasting. I even pulled all the glass.

Looks good, the color should be interesting.
