It's tough and as my show car shows - it's got a good life and hasn't even shown wear where I painted the door locks to match the Jeep door handles in my car.

I've used it on a lot of other parts, too engine bay, chassis................
got to love those old POT metal door levers. I got good at replacing them. They knew me a Pick-A-part

AMC started those in 68, and Jeep inherited them later. I've found they'll last a very very long time if the door latches and hinges are in good shape. My original door handles were worn but otherwise ok. I just wanted the black-out look as my SX4 was a factory Sport version. I found it to be a contradiction to have all of the window and windshield trim, headlight bezels, grill, tail lights and so on trimmed in black, but then have shiny door handles and locks. So, I bought the Jeep half-door handles rather than risk powder coating my originals.

I wonder how an SX4 would look in Joose? Or an original Charger or similar.

Ours always broke in the winter in upstate NY. My dad had 2 -AMC Eagle and Hornet and my grandfather had an Eagle. They were such amazing vehicles, IMO

Was having shifting issues with my 25 Rubicon….. Went Rubi because my mojave test drive seemed rough. So instead of dealership shenanigans, I test drove another mojave and wow…. No doubt smoother ride…. So I pulled the trigger on this one. I was so far ahead on the note, it made sense to get it done.

Was this from the same dealer you were initially haggling with That had an Joose. Either way, nice Mohave!
