Robert - love that trash can part. Yeah I realize that not replacing the parts and trying to stop further rust by spraying magic paint on them is kinda mickey mouse. However, it was a $2500 Jeep when I bought it and after I put a lot of $$ into it it will likely still be a $2500 Jeep. They don't make many spare parts at all (I was lucky to find floors) and I need to stop it from rusting away so I'm looking for alternatives.

I already bought several parts trucks or major sections and cut all the good metal out of them I could find. I will be trimming parts and replacing rusty sections where I can, as long as the rust doesn't spread further before I get there!

Anyway, I'll just continue to watch you do your artistry and magic and try to dance that line between weenie work and something better!
