    You're as fast as some of the car build shows, but much better quality. Very well done TJ!

    Hey TJ, what color did you paint that tub? It looks very similar to the original color of my 61 CJ5 and I've been trying to identify it. Thanks!

    Test1328 it was already painted and he didn’t want us to paint it, but I just dropped the original fender off today so the body shop could get the paint matched up to paint the 72 grille, 2-new fenders and new hood for the 72 CJ5.
    This is kind of a miss-match of parts and years to make one
    As soon as I get the paint code from the paint shop I will getter to ya!!!
    I guess he has a camera that takes a picture and tells what colors and how much to blend to match it
