Way cool shop. If I left that much metal exposed ot air in Florida, it would be rusty before I could prime it..........

Lota work there. Nice job. Cool to see a finishing hammer in your pics. Getting to be a rare tool in the US. Here they've been replaced with Bondo files.

Il était à moi et puis j'ai un copain qui en cherchait un, donc il me l'a payé, j'ai commencé à le restaurer et finalement je vais le rembourser, il préfère le v8 au L6, moi j'aime bien le Chief de Ringo, avant il appartenait à un Belge très connu qui a fait ce générique ( sa signature ).

Hello, I prefer 79 look ( blue and black paint ) than Cherokee 82, so I bought a decals kit.

The rear tailgate decal is so large for me, I cut it like original chief decal.

They don't make rear end decals of the tailgate, so I made it.

If i only had enough space to work on my rig, I could get it to look only partly as nice as this has turned out.

[billyrb]

Very nice looking! Btw, did you get my PM?

[toffamc]

Now, decals of the side.

Very nice, while I'm a fan of JTrucks, the two dorr Cherokees and NT Wagoneers are growing on me, and your fine work, makes me re-think my future projects.

Thanks for sharing.:thumbsup:
