Evans will be open in a couple of weeks. Of course with the amount of snow it just may be roads that are usable.

Finished with most of the in dash wiring and everything seems to work. Motor cranks over but no gas in the tank (try that tomorrow) need to figure out a way to make the aux high beams come on with out loosing the headlights( might just need to loose the dimmer switch and put the "high beams" on a toggle sw.)

I really hate bootyfabbing things but I did it anyway. Made up a tunnel cover from a semi sized mudflap:haha: I will be having a sheetmetal one made later but right now I just want this pig done.

wheelinjp · Mar 28, 2011

no jim no!!! dont rush it man. haha sounds great. just dont have the dang exhaust go under the frame again haha. that was a long time ago huh. keep up the good work. the dash looks sweet, and so does the dual shocks. :awesomework:

Got a few things done tonight. Finished up my bootyfab floor, Got the aux. gas tank mounted under the drivers seat and got the seats and belt in and done. Found this cool little battery cover for the optima a while back. Should work good at protecting the battery from anything that gets tossed on the floor. Bonus is the start battery is accessible with the seat moved back :cheer:

nowires · Mar 30, 2011

WOW :awesomework:

looks like it is getting close to done

pokey · Apr 3, 2011

Spent the day with the wife so did'nt get much done. Did however get the bikini top on and the battery tender hard wired in for the start battery. Got the mudflaps installed after making some new brackets. I was able to re-use the ones from the old CJ. also got the lic plate mounted on the rear out of harms way.

Exciting morning for me :cheer: First, installed the HEI dist and it works great. Slight issue with the size of it though now the aircleaner wont fit. So I ordered this offset base and now the nice 14" K&N filter I had fits nicely. So I drove it out of the shop under its own power this morning and onto the trailer for a trip to the exhause shop :cheer: I forgot how much grass dosent like detroits :haha: heres a couple of poser shots as well.
