Going to resurrect a Daisy Dukes CJ Jeep!
Quick update for the Jeep here! The HOOD IS DONE!!!! Its about freakin' time!!!! LOL
I'm glad to see it done, I had to get it on the body and get some sort of picture of it.... And I'm pleased with the look of the hood, I just have to do a little trimming to get it to close right, as its uneven in places to keep it from closing right, but thats all work done from the underside and the edge of it!
I know whats keeping it on the drivers side from closing flat, its the way the firewall was glued in from when I got it, its not "straight" and even, so its throwing off how the hood closes. I'll remedy this by trimming the underside edge of the hood!
Passenger side closes pretty good! I'm happy with that side, but its the drivers side thats "off" just enough to not allow the hood to sit flat on its edges all the way around! Thats it for now! I'm pleased with the turn out of the hood (more like sick & tired of working on the damn thing LOL) but you all know how that goes I'm sure!
I'm calling the hood "good" and moving right along to whatever else needs done to finish the ole Jeep up and move on to another "partly built", build I got going on!
As for this Jeep, all things considered it WAS a glue bomb, plus its OLD 2001 is the year on the box and the instructions. PLUS, I added a bit to it, and changed A LOT to be more closely representation of Daisy's actual Jeep Dixie.... I put a lot into it, and I'm close, BUT I have yet to add that load to the back of it. AND get the little fragile details on it after that.....
More to come as I get closer to the finish line! Comments welcome, Enjoy!
