Cheap Truck Challenge - Reviving a CJ-7 Part II
Slamming backwards into a tree caused the floor to buckle, along with trashing all of the other sheetmetal. Hammer blows and a lot of prying with chains, winches, and Hi-Lifts sorta straightened out the sheetmetal, since a new body wasn't in the budget. Using a torch to soften the steel--while a load was applied from a winch cable--made straightening things easier too, and all of my Bodyworking 101 training came back into memory. So did the muscle pain the next day, but at least I didn't spend any money on this part of the project.
