That's looking great! :yup: Well done!
Fortunately, there's a lot of support out there for the Jeepster Commando and as luck would have it, we were able to track down a set of 4 hub caps with matching (right color) emblems. After a lot of work with some steel wool and some chrome polish, here's what we were able to get them to look like.
We were also able to find a new grill medallion in the same color scheme.
Finally, here are some all around shots that we took soon after Emma's first drive since bringing her home.
Shot of Emma's rear end with new pre-1980 Nevada plate.
A few interior shots.
Looking down and into the tub.
Up front shots and up higher.
3/4 mug shot.
Head on mug shot.
New hub caps installed.
Looking into the smokey sun.

Thanks! A Jeepster Commando had always been on our short list of Jeeps we've wanted to add to our collection. It took a long time to find just the right one as stock ones like this are hard to come by. We feel real lucky.
LOL!! Thanks, maybe someday soon you'll be able to see it for yourself.
Thank you. We've been spending a lot of time working on her and we're pretty happy with how she's coming along.
:cheesy: Who was that masked welder :crazyeyes:
Thank you. We really appreciate it.
Thanks
Thank you. We're still debating just how much we want to restore it as there is something to be said about it having an old worn look to it. At the moment, we just want to make it nice to drive and help it along here and there.

There are a few products they use on ornamental metal where the rustic rusty look is popular. Stops the rusting process and is clear. May look good for the outside sections.

So ugly, but awesome at the same time. Looks just perfect!!
LOL!! Now there's a thought. :crazyeyes:
Thanks! Of all the people I know, you're the one who would understand the allure of a Jeep like this :yup:

I want one now!!! Lol
LOL!! You can't have one - if you did get one, you would be looking for a truck cab too and would most likely find one before me

Yup, totally get it. But with more time and rust, that floor board could have been an issue. I like the direction you're going. [emoji106]
Just don't go painting it neon green with ghost flames and I think you'll be alright. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji12]

Oh man I've looked at this posting so many times. I LOVE Emma! Here is a picture of my fathers '70' Lizbeth, that was unfortunately sold in the late 90's. I'm looking hard for one right now though my wife is not quite on board just yet so need to find one cheap!

Oh what the hell?!
Was driving a long just fine when the idiot oil light came on. Pulled over to see dripping oil coming from what looks like the oil pump area. Hard to tell for sure until I can clean things up. Checked the oil level and the pan is still full. If I could guess, the oil pump is out. Looks like I've got more work ahead of me.
