Replacement body panels and interior parts are easily replaced, just needs some minor fabrication.

I would, but if I ever got an old Jeep, I would troll the hell out of Jeep guys by building an “owner-type” Jeep, Philippine style , with stainless steel panels.

If a semi hit it it would probably varnish into thin air.

It is nice but I’m stumped why someone would go through the effort.

Being a dad, dad jokes come naturally to me. Don’t axe me stop. I just can’t oakay? My brain gets over-elmed with them, and they’re a birch to keep under control.

Crash course in Philippine Jeep culture:
There are generally two kinds of Philippine made/modded Jeeps. The first, and most familiar to most outsiders is the Jeepney. The name gives you a clue: it’s a portmanteau of “jeep” and “jitney,” and serves as public transport along a regular route. As such, the chassis and bodies are stretched to accommodate long longitudinally-mounted benches to carry passengers. In this role, they’re “Public-Use Jeepneys” (“PUJs”). The dominant decorative aesthetic on PUJs for years was elaborate paint jobs, featuring all kinds of imagery.
Some of these longer-wheelbase Jeepneys are bought and used privately in the same way people would use minivans. These will usually have doors across the tailgate, with the name of the owner (“de la Cruz family”) and NOT FOR HIRE hand painted across them. These may or may not be elaborately painted, but often these are a bit more sedate, since they’re family haulers.
That brings us to the Owner-type jeep. The Owner-type jeep is on a standard Jeep body. As the name might imply, they are seldom if ever “working” vehicles—these are private cars, for the use & benefit of the owner/driver. These are usually lowered, on wider tires: the hot rod of the Philippine Jeep scene. The dominant aesthetic here is stainless steel bodywork, which has the double advantage of being both shiny AND corrosion-resistant!
If I had time/tools/space for a Jeep project here in the USA, I’d build an Owner-type jeep out of an old/wrecked US-spec jeep. It’s both more feasible (remember, owner-type is the same frame/wheelbase as a regular jeep) and a more aggressive troll move vs. American jeep bro culture.
EDIT. The Top Gear Philippines website has a profile of a Filipino-Canadian who built a stainless owner-type Jeep in Canada. I like his BMW straight-six idea. Imagine an owner-type Jeep with a twin-turbo Toyota 2JZ...
