Nice, that looks like it will be fun. I like the "this side up" sticker.
Well, there is no going back now...

Started dismantling the Jeep:
First thing was the spare tire assembly. May look good in the pictures but it was mounted poorly. The spare tire assembly wouldn't swing out of the way and made the tailgate useless and the rear of the jeep inaccessible. Notice how it was bolted through the tailgate: The tailgate will need welding: The compartment under the passenger seat had a rubber mat but when I removed it: Removed the side plates and the metal under looked pretty good: Removed a wooden box enclosure that someone made: Removed the roll bar: The front and rear bumpers are also off but I didn't take pictures of that. 1968 Coronet R/T

Cool project. What color is it going to be?

Still waiting for the owner to decide on the color.
The 67 Jeep color chips do not show anything in this shade. They have an empire blue but its a tad darker. 1968 Coronet R/T

Started dismantling the engine compartment.
Had to diagram and label all the wiring since it has been worked on extensively: Purple spliced to orange, light green to dark green, black to red, etc. A few just cut and left: Removed the front fenders: Rips and extra holes either drilled or torn: Started to clean and degrease: More to come. 1968 Coronet R/T
