    I thought to add some specs:
    42 tub and tin
    50 m38 hardtop
    231 buick v6
    400 turbo trans and a 20 tc
    13 1/2" rear driveline. So to anyone that says it can't be done in a 80" wheelbase Jeep- just sayin that a stock cj7 with a 400 tubo has the same shaft.
    dana 44 rear 3.73 gears
    dana 30 front with disks
    volvo radiator
    cherokee pedals, power booster, master cylinder, and power seats.
    saginaw steering with Cadillac tilt/telescopic wheel.
    This recipe makes a great driver and is actually pretty cheap to build. The best part is that your wife can drive it too.

    I really did try to talk him out of the wheels. When I bought the Jeep they came on, I just saw them as $100 of aluminum scrap. I used them as rollers, and he wanted to keep them.
    The pic of the frame was taken on 10/25 and the finished pic was 1/11.

    I thought I would add a couple pics of the front bumper with the winch on it. This one is just about ready to go to the customer. It's been a fun build, but time for the next.

    Even put in a old heater with a 12 volt fan upgrade.
