It's hard to believe that it underwent this transformation without any major welding or painting. It was really just polished back to life. The tub was never removed from the chassis.

About half way home I stopped for a good inspection. I was amazed at how little rust this jeep had - nothing significant in the body which is amazing for an old jeep. They were not really built...
