did some work and got her put away till i get back at the end of january. Got the body on, and close to where she will sit. When i get back i will do final measurements for the body, tack it in place and start making floors and body mounts.

Looks good! Do your self a favor and pull the cam while its easy and check the bearings. I keep seeing these things with the bearings walking out. Just did a 6.0

i was going to, but didn't because it runs VERY well right now, and will get a new cam and bearings in a year or 2

Pics are better than words







new pan is on obviously, i picked up an art-carr/winters cable shifter for the trans when i was in PA(they have an awesome warehouse/manufacturing facility) wiring harness and PCM are in the mail from WAYNE on pirate all done and should be here next week, t-case shifter is on the way from JB customs, and ordered rad from superior radiator

you can see in the back of the last pic the trans crossmember, just haven't moved the tabs on the frame yet(i put them in the wrong spot first time)

Replacing ball joints on the Audi then finishing up the trans crossmember later

Worked a little today, got the wiring harness in, hooked most of it up. realized my trans-crossmember rund right infront of where my drive shaft is going to need to go, so bent a small hoop and will make it run over it tomorrow. Also just bolted on the brackets for the art-carr shifter




And my radiator comes in tomorrow from superior radiator

Did some work this weekend, started the floors. Making the substructure. (any pieces of metal you see welded from the body to the frame are temporary to keep the body in place until i make body mounts) cleaned up the astro van box and painted it, threw the radiator in(aluminimum unit from superior with electric fan), put the engine wiring harness on, checked to see if the hood still fit.

Workin on modding my yj throttle cable to work and making the body mounts so I can weld them in

Spent the weekend helping them promote at Motorama in Harrisburg PA. Awesome show!!!! great people!! Pic i took of our booth with dave in there
