So picked this up on Saturday.

86 Grand Wagoneer. Got the carpet all out, and the sheetmetal is nice and clean so far. Gotta love Arizona weather.

This thing was sitting for awhile, and ended up with the bane of vehicles in the desert....fucking packrats.

So with the packrat taking up housing in the dash and a what looks like a short that ran through the whole damn harness, I end up ripping the whole dash out. Will replace with something I make up to put new gauges and shit in.

Picking up the sawzall and new blades tomorrow at work so top should be gone tomorrow night.

And this is for you bitches talking shit about my low post count and asking questions about a odd axle on the back of my old XJ.

Well, got all the pillars cut on the top, but went to do the last two thicker columns in the rear and I must have been cursed or some shit cuz I went and bent my last two blades all to shit. Its ok though, I am hungry as hell and want to go to bed early tonight anyway. Maybe, just maybe I will get a pic with the top off tomorrow.

he forgot to air up after trail riding and someone dared him to do a rally style curve. the bias ply tires folded and flop it went :eek: otherwise he would have been fine.

Well I dont hit the gym on Wednesdays, just run so was able to get the top done this afternoon.

From the front.

Cut at winshield. Sawzall got away from me a little..hehe.

Side view. I think I did pretty good for my first chop and grind on keeping the lines straight...hehe.

http://img327.imageshack.us/img327/8693/chop39ed.th.jpg (http://img327.imageshack.us/my.php?image=chop39ed.jpg)

Here comes my first challenge. I want to keep the body line all the way around, so the tailgate will be getting chopped and recapped at the arrow line.

http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1098/chop57uj.th.jpg (http://img202.imageshack.us/my.php?image=chop57uj.jpg)

Which will lead to me needing to relocate the latch release. I am probably going to put in the new cap on the tailgate and also re-design the workings to open it better.
