Thanks, it was only possible because of @mrblaine's help.
It's a great way to build because in the past I have gone slightly too far with other vehicles and then I get tired of it. By trying to keep the classic look it stops me from screwing it up.
Plus I thought it would be good to make some hard barriers for the build or it probably would have ended up on 40's with coilovers and currie axles.
haha honestly I was gunna credit blaine too but i just imagined him coming on and saying something like "it was all midnight i just kept him from fucking it up" so i figured he knows we know he make's magic happenThanks, it was only possible because of @mrblaine's help.

That and there really is no magic. Just basic, clean, work with attention paid to the details. I'm really not that special but when so many folks fuck shit up, it starts to seem that way.haha honestly I was gunna credit blaine too but i just imagined him coming on and saying something like "it was all midnight i just kept him from fucking it up" so i figured he knows we know he make's magic happen

I think you hit the nail on the head. Finding people who don’t do blatantly half ass work is a hard thing in the world anymore.
Plus your work is so clean it helps make me want to keep the Jeep forever. That’s why I am gonna have you do those last final touches as well.
But I will cut and weld on @Alex01 Jeep all day.
Edit: well that and Alex gets all the time consuming stuff I don’t have time for done on his. I just get to show up for the fun stuff.
Someone once told me that people who trailer their jeeps to the trail have lower standards than those who drive.I think you hit the nail on the head. Finding people who don’t do blatantly half ass work is a hard thing in the world anymore.

Just keep that guy that bird turded his shock towers on away from his rig.
They haven't fallen out yet. I'd call that a success.
I'll feel confident after you hit SR, although, I heard from Indy that Hell Hole was no slouch.

Are you going to have your trailer build on this thread, or start a new Midnight Trailer build thread?

I was thinking I will just add it to this thread since a lot of the decisions will be directly related to the Jeep.
Good to hear. Ive got a small bubbling spot on the passenger fender and Ive debated repairing it, or going full fenders. I too, in the past, have gone overboard on builds and got bored, quickly. Your build is my inspiration, clean, well thought out and perfectly executed.

Thanks, I have been enjoying your build thread as well.
In regards to the fenders all Just leave this Jeep Blaine built here to inspire you.

One of my favorites. It would move up several notches on that list if the owner wasn't such a wiener.Thanks, I have been enjoying your build thread as well.
