I believe it took him some six months to build. Not full time but on and off. He restores classic cars for a living and has no problems with making a new fender or door panel. I have seen work that looked better than new coming from his hands. A true old fashioned craftsman. I wish I had half his talent/skill with sheet metal.
But your Jeep looks good too! Your son will be thrilled.
I suddenly remembered a Jeep I saw at Beltring a couple of years ago. Hang on, looking for pics..........
Found them! This took the builder more than a year if I remember correctly.
Cheers,
