I was walking down the isle at the Rhinebeck swap meet when I saw this old Jeepster nose. I thought it would look great on my CJ-7

I was amazed it fit in my trunk and left plenty of room for more stuff

The first thing was to chop it up.

Then I took the center piece and test fit it on the jeep but I had to cut a full vertical rail from each side

Not bad but a little odd looking with the edges cut flush so I took the end pieces I trimmed off and cut off the tips then welded them to the center piece making a nicely shaped edge

I cut the top off and welded it back upside down to make a nice peak instead of the rounded indentation

Almost perfect. A little body filler to finish the slope but not too much sanding. I love the weathered rough look

I love my jeep……
