Pressure wash, paint, and a new panel!

 Jed was working on painting the frame after pressure washing it, and he took out his transfer case and dropped it off to get a terra-low 4:1 conversion done.
 Marshall spent some time on the back end, starting on the right rear and working around to the left quarter panel.  He had to hang the tailgate to make sure that it would line up with the new corner pieces.
 Here is the quarter panel installed with some temporary sheetmetal screws waiting to be welded to the wheelhouse and the left rear corner
 Here is the new seam with the wrangler portion, the burn marks show where the plug welds are.
Last step before shipping the rollbars out for powder coat is to drill the mounting holes in the new floor sheetmetal.  There are cage nut plates welded in underneath to allow for easy removal of the roll bar bolts.  Anyone who has ever removed a scrambler factory roll bar can appreciate how difficult this can be.
