Posi's Do-over

What goes in the square hole on the left side of the column?

 

I have a panel that goes over that with my volt meter, oil press. and temp gauges.

 

Not trying to hi-jack but after reading this I am really glad I did not head to the Rubicon this weekend
Can't wait to see your rig John!

 

I painted the dash and the tailgate panel today. I may shoot one more coat on tomorrow. Got the HEI distributor in, but I need some shims for it. It's about 1/8" longer than the stock dist. and it bottoms out. It's from DUI. I did have to grind a small amount off the front corner of the intake manifold to get the cap on the dist. to clear. No big deal except the aluminum clogs up the grinding wheel a bit.

 

Put the tailgate filler in a couple of days ago. It turned out pretty good.




When I originally changed over to swinging pedals, I split the bracket in two so I could move the pedals apart a little. That didn't really work out, so I put the two halves back together yesterday. My firewall was flexing a little before, but I think putting the bracket back together will give it more support.

 

Keep up the good work, John. I am enjoying seeing it all come together.

 

I like that pale green, looks good.

 

Thanks. It was supposed to be Sage and I guess it's pretty close. Kind of a gray green.

 

Today was my last day to work on he Jeep for the next 11 days. Looks like I am required to go on vacation with my wife. So, while Posi sits in the warehouse and wonders where i am, I'll be in Hawaii drinkin MaiTai's. Oh well, I guess someone has to do it. ; ) Here's where I left off.

 

You got that right, Jim! I think I need a little break anyway. Give Thompology a chance to catch up! ha ha

 

Lookin good for sure. Im sure its been stated already but whats your WB going to be when your done?

 

Enjoy the vacation!

 

Free WiFi here at the condo in Kauai. So even though I had to leave the Jeep at home I can still hang out here................when the wifes not looking that is. Wheelbase is 95"

 

Put the 'puter away, A happy wife makes a happy life.

 

Thanks posi. I didn't get as much WB as I thought in mine. From center of wheel to center or wheel is 90" on my 5. Should be alright though. As long and low is right, enjoy your vaca.

 

I might as well be on vacation with the progress that I am making. Posts soon

 

I was actually shooting for a little more wheelbase, but I didn't take into account the extra length of the YJ springs when I did my calcs. But I'm happy with how it's turning out. Any longer would have looked strange with the CJ body. Although I am using a '73 front clip to get a little longer front end.

 

Well it does look good for sure. Think you'll make the dead line?

 

About as likely as getting a cold Martini in Hell!
