    Well, been a while....let me just say, I take 2 steps forward and 13 back.

    Had issues with the the ignition and carb, got that worked out.
    Had a leak around my transfer case.....well, lets just say I have to rebuild that baby....and I may need a few gears. Keeping my fingers crossed that the same issue did not happen in the transmission. I have no idea how I missed this earlier, but thank god for the leak!

    Good news got the brake lines replaced, have to get a new bleeder.

    Got the radiator and grill out, and ready to mount the electric fan. It will have to be a pusher, but it is going to be plenty of air flow, with my big radiator.

    Looks nice. You should get a rubber grommet, splice it and slip it in the hole for the PS line. I know it won't protect the line, but it'll look clean like the rest of your build. Paint the cut metal with a small brush to avoid rusting under the grommet.

    It's interesting that you and Chris are both usiing electric fans, but one guy's using a push and the other a pull.

    Well, been slow going, but now that I have the ignition and carb figured out, will be able to piece it back together a little quicker. Still have to pull the transfercase and transmission. Waiting on the gauges to come in hopefully, they will arrive this week. Did some clean up on the headlights and will have to do a little cutting on the housing for the head lights.

    I always wanted to see the look on a cj prior to buy a set for mine. If you can post a night picture it would help me making my choice.


    Great jeep by the way :)
