thanks for the encouragment. i am trying to raise my own level of work and sometimes ya just wonder if your doing the right thing.i will be hiring out the body work and paint after i finish welding up all the extra holes.I have the hood,fenders,grille,w/s frame ,and tailgate in primer and ready to paint.i was able to do those on my own.

Looks great to me.What kind of headers and air cleaner do you have there.

 

looks great. Keep up the good work. Keep us posted also.

 

Looks awesome. I like the new battery location.

 

thanks for the nice words guys. Dan the headers are hedman. after i installed them and made some minor modifications i sent them out for ceramic coating .the air cleaner is just what i picked up at the FLAP store.I decided to move the battery to rear as i wanted a smooth firewall.still working on the smooth part. more pics later.today i finished the steering coloum mount and got the clutch and brake pedals aligned fairly close.

the throttle pedal came from www.julianos.com,part #ba-1001r $95. the cable is the universal LOKAR throttle cable . i have borrowed a few parts from the street rodders.

Very nice! Lots of work in that. Gonna be a sweet ride when it's done!

 

Nice workmanship...very clean! It takes a lot of patience to get those results....and money!

 

Been working on the new dash panel.i had one fabricated by a local shop out of 16 ga..they did a nice job.going to cut holes (hole saw) for gauges tommorow and try and figure out where the rest of the stuff goes .will pickup the new Alpine radio and Focal 4'' speakers.just basic stuff for a few tunes.will have pics in a few days.goin to go try and catch a spring chinook thurs.a little time away from the jeep.

Time for an update now that ecj-5 is back.got the new dash finished and ready to paint.contacted autobody shop about doing remaining body work and painting the whole thing bright yellow.took the jeep and parts there wed. 5-27 things are look'in up.will test fit new after market fenders to hood and grille than disassemble whole thing with tub off frame.Iwill try to get progress pics as the work goes along. I'm back to not doing pics. there was a thing that said "manage attachments" that would let you load pics.not sure what to do.

Well the jeep is at the body shop.tried to test fit the OMIX-ADA fenders today.the cutout for the upper shock mount is in the wrong place for this application.We will have to cut out the inner fender well for the correct location,then piece in the area where the other cut out is.$$$$$$$$.just more pain with these fenders. never again.i thought my old fenders were bad but I would have been better off to repair the O.E.M. ones.After we get that out of the way things will progress on the tub.starting to get really excited.they will be ordering all the material soon.FLAME yellow.can you say BRIGHT.i have to figure out this pics deal sense the forum returned.PM me if you can help with pics.
