Straightening the C pillars makes all the difference on aesthetics.

Thanks OI. I think it just made sense to straighten that line.

Still beatin on it!

I just caught up again.
Hows the finger doing? That hurt to just look at.

Everything else is looking good.

The finger is getting better, the swelling has gone down and I can finally bend it again.

Thanks for the interest.

I was having a hard time seeing the stance of this thing in the shop with all the crap in the way so I stacked the front end on it and pushed it outside for a look see. The weather was beeeeutiful and the light was good.

The progress is resembling what I had in my mind.
Pushed it back in for more madness.

I'm glad you removed the 3" lift. [cl

What's with the rifle?

It was way wonky with the lift on it.

My bad on the rifle pic. that was for the BS category. I built my oldest son a new feral hog eliminator for his birthday. The hogs are wreaking havoc in Texas.

I moved the pic to the BS section.

looks great. The only thing my head has a problem with are those rear fenders... But that goes for all those Jeeps.

Looks great POPS! I'm also glad you removed the lift kit, it's just right now.

That's a beauty!

Thanks. My plan is to try to avoid removing and installing the cab and bed so many times on this one. I'm going to fit every thing and even build the bumpers then take it all apart and do the engine relocation, then sand blast and paint the frame before the exhaust, wiring and brake lines etc. I bet I set my wifes cab and bed on three of four times.

It's a Jeep thing for sure. They didn't spend a lot of research and development money on the rear fenders. The best thing about them is they are easy to change when you tear them up four wheeling.

Thanks Kenny. I'm liking it too.

Thanks. I think it will drop on the front end about 2'' when I get the engine in it. But with the torsion bar set up on the front it will be simple to adjust it back to this stance. That's my thinking for now.

That's a beauty!

Thanks Smallfoot.
Still beatin on it.

I got the hood adjusted kinda today. Then I had to put the bling on it. They used this hood ornament on the '48-'49 wagons which is what the cab was cut out of. I liked it when I ran across one.

I also made the braces for the grille. I had hoped that I could use the radiator out of the Dakota donor but no way. Plan B is to pay the price for an aluminum radiator that will fit and cool Dodge engine.
