    No. I ran out of steam on the body so I took it to a body shop. He said he'll put it in primer tomorrow or monday, and should be back to me by friday.

    I'm also running out of steam on the leaks. Rear main just popped too.

    But, I have enough $$ for Holbrooks now too, flex here I come

    It is a jeep it is supposed to leak. Dont sweat them just keep oil in it.

    Its lost a TON of oil...
    I'll take a picture of the strip right down the center of my garage floor for ya.
    I'd leave it but when it's running you see it coming out of the engine. The transfer case is leaking too,
    as well as the transmission shift tower

    I forget did you do the motor yourself or did you have someone do it? My brother did my m38's engine, not a drip out of it at 300 plus miles. We do need to re-torque the head but that is all. however my transfer case leaks so we are going to pull it back out this spring and re-seal everything.

    Did all the seals except the rear main on the flathead, transmission 1970Cj6's brother did but there's not many seals he did and they're fine, the transfer case I did.
    How bads the transfer case leak?

    mine leaks really badly. But I have not touched either, and since the guy that rebuilt the engine before I bought it messed up I am sure that is why it is leaking.

    I am a little bit! I wish the body work turned out better, but live and learn. There will be some rough spots but they got it fairly straight otherwise. They'll sand it with red scuff pads and paint it hopefully today or monday, and then bedliner next week :D
    And, chassis is going to a mechanic next Wednesday, for the gaskets. I don't have time right now and being sick right now, I'd like someone else to do it quick.

    Lookin good Sammy! Your tailgate has provided me with some valuable info! ive been trying to figure out why there were holes in the 4 bumps. Now i need to find some loops for it.

    I like the color so far, it makes me rethink going with red again.
