I've made more progress this weekend. I got the CJ7 fenders and grill back from the sandblaster's. They did a great job removing all of the rust and paint. I sprayed them with 2 coats of 2 part epoxy primer, followed by 2 coats of high build primer. Look at the before shot above, and compare with this one.

I also located and purchased a CJ7 hood. It's in rough shape, but fixable. It's currently at the blaster's, and it should be ready to pick up tomorrow. It will receive the same priming treatment tomorrow night.
Also, today I just won an ebay auction on a set of half doors. They appear to be in awesome, rust free condition, plus they come with side view mirrors, which is one less thing I have to buy.
