NOTHING RUSTS LIKE A JEEP
Good metal preserver. I'ts coal tar pitch based. CAN'T PAINT OVER IT WITH A COLOR. IT WILL BLEED THRU. This was a LOT of work, but not TOO bad.
I'm Glad I did this.

| I decided the best way to approach this Jeep would be from the ground up. That way I could get to places that are impossible otherwise. I wanted to paint the frame and undercoat the bottom of the tub. NOTHING RUSTS LIKE A JEEP |

| Here's the frame after I took the body off and the powertrain out. I pressure washed it, then painted it with ENSIGN 395a. Good metal preserver. I'ts coal tar pitch based. CAN'T PAINT OVER IT WITH A COLOR. IT WILL BLEED THRU. This was a LOT of work, but not TOO bad. I'm Glad I did this. |

| Here's the body after I peeled off most of the bedliner. It was like a rubber raincoat. Some places it peeled right off, some places it was REALLY stuck on. It's on an old boat trailer I had. Worked GREAT. The S10 Blazer on the ramps is the main donor vehicle. The engine is bad and it's a rust bucket. I WANT THE TRANNY AND TRANSFER CASE, And the TBI wiring harness. A 4.3 has the same bellhousing pattern as a small block V8!!! Glad I live in the sticks, looks kinda bad with a car on ramps in the front yard for weeks while you strip parts off it. I don't care here. | |||||||||||||||||||

| Most of the tub is stripped out. I left the yellow rubber liner INSIDE. I'm gonna paint over it with the OD green. I am gonna insulate the firewall, so heater came out. | |||||||||||||||||||
