Thanks!

Hand drawn. I've been taking measurements from my actual Jeep and scaling them down. Then I just adjust as needed.

OK gang,

Here's an update.

Got the windshield and hood worked out. Then I started laying down some detail. I have a long way to go on this one.

Oh man... Dang, I never thought to trace off any of the parts... I am going to build another so maybe I can create a few files for it at that time.


Here's todays update:

Started roughing in the bars and did a little detail work in the grille.
