have begun again after i took out a homohotrod(chevy hhr)
had to drive to Plymouth Wisconsin for another frame i could afford ($600 +$100 gas + $60 hotel total of $760 the closest one to me (Detroit area i live in traverse city mi) wanted 1200 and was in shit shape and anybody on the net wanted 2000 to 2200 dollars plus shipping so i got a great deal on a SOLID frame started tearing it down on Thursday prepared frame Wednesday wirewheeled the piss out of it and did 2 solid coats of rust prevent primer and 2coats of black enamel (couldn't afford to sandblast on a shoe string budget) but it turned out good i think

Glad you’re rebuilding. For a front end collision at those speeds, I’d say the Jeep took it pretty well
