I'd say a brown'ish color would be looking good.

Hey guys, here again to show you the most recent pics of my mini jeep finally painted in pearl white. Although it lacks some things like mirrors, speedometer, rear gas tank and some lights, the mini jeep is already almost finished.

What a fantastic job you have done! You are indeed a Craftsman sir that little Jeep looks likes it just rolled off the assembly line just downsized

What kind of tools did you use for the hood? Did you use a bead roler?

41.5" x 96" If you need specific measurements let me know.

The whole Jeep was made with common tools. Grinder, welder, hammer, sheet metal cutting scissors, etc.. I don't know what is a tube bender, bead roller or metal brake. I divided the bonnet in three parts. You need to make a frame first and then, find a strong guy to bend the sheet metal while you weld.

Thank you B.M. Everyday I think in the next project, but not easy for me because a don't have a garage and little free time. As you can see the mini Jeep takes me about three years to build and at this time isn't completed.

Everyone that see my jeep ask me about the transmission and I have no more to say than " the transmission are from a vintage tractor". But I don't know wich tractor use this discontinued 353 peerless transmission. I tried to find info about that with no result. Any help will be appreciated.

I under the no garage part, I would LOVE to have a garage to work in. If you do decide to build something else, we will all be excited to see it.

As for the transmission, it might be difficult to nail down a specific brand, as Im pretty sure there were many brands that used a variety of peerless transmissions.
