Charla got this truck just after it arrived in Canada in the spring of '04 and it was completely rust free. The trouble was that it had an obscene amount of scratches and chips, many of which went right to the shiney bare metal. We knew that wasn't going to be a good situation in Canada so a respray has been in the plans for about a year now. I'm finally getting to it but was deturmined not to paint that welting between the upper and lower fenders and had heard horror storries about the amount of work it would take to seperate the fenders. I started after brunch this morning with a fully assembled rig and now, at suppertime its nearly all apart. It turns out to be no big deal to remove the bolts that join the upper and lower fenders once you pull the batteries and air cleaner. A floppy headed gearwrench is the ticket for that job. Its also a pleasure to be working with clean rust free fasteners and straight sheemetal. I wouldn't want to try this on my old BJ70.
You guys who have taken the glass out of the FRP top, have you got any hints? Are the frames just glued in? I'm stumped.
