I used plug welds to attach the outer body to this replacement, on both sides. Bottom line for me is the rust is gone and the structure is back. I am just waiting on the passenger a-pillar replacement, then the major body work is complete and I can get to the body filler and sanding part. Last edited by sactoller; 07/17/22.

rickt300 Campfire Outfitter R Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 13,479 Likes: 3 Texas	Originally Posted by sactoller So I finally, got back to working on the CJ6. I got my firewall plates cut, for the hanging brake pedal/power brakes. It is just bolted up for now, will weld the plates on in the coming weeks. Gotta say my one experience with a CJ6 worked out just like yours. I bought it running and in less than a week I was a full time jeep mechanic. First thing was the fuel bag cracked. I spent a considerable amount of money on that thing for a couple of years. Just the regular maintenance on the wheel bearings and springs in the hubs was a lot, definitely not designed for a lot of hiway driving. The clincher was not enough room to load an elk in the back.
