Just Got Myself Into A 6...

Support the body from the frame at all points... Interesting thought.

 

Yep..........its the only way so that all the mounts are working together from a common foundation........I know it may incur some extra work..........but in the long run , with all the nice things you have already done to your project , it will be much nicer than having the body semi fixed to the frame ..........or in your words..... "its almost like i have a solid mounted body" .

 

thoughts...?
has some time, sandpaper and paint...
was going to do floor liner, or is the contrast appealing?
I happen to galvanize the shifter boot ring, and had solid core aluminum rivets from the Rover laying around..

 

looks great

 

I like it!

 

keeping it blue...
blasted it last night.. needs some filler on some of the weld seams..

 

started plugging the bolt holes.
Guy at work said use a penny and weld em up..
The copper conducts, but it doesn't stick.
On a shoddy welding bench it burns, or newer pennies are made of magnesium...

Needs more more grinding before filler..

 

not pretending to be a body guy.. this was my college try.
filled some holes, smoothed some seams, made it one color..

 

Your hired........looks pretty good to me............So how does that aftermarket AC unit work? And what did you do for a condenser up front?

 

pg. 9 about a quarter of the way down..

it was part of the JeepAir kit.. installed very nicely and simple instructions.
haven't had a top on the jeep, but it blows cold and compared to my Rover its hurricane force winds coming from the vents. Small compact under dash unit..

 

Decided on Tub emblem..

off of a 60's Gladiator... couldn't stick a plastic emblem on there.. needed a real metal one.

 

Drool

 

Same. Looks great.

 

Blew through whatever gas was left over from the winter and washed it over the weekend..
its ready for some miles and more shake down runs before turning my attention to engine tuning.
of course there is still the ever present "to do" list, but its getting shorter and less important (like who needs hazards)

 

Looks pretty sharp..............I always say at this point, Take a bunch of pictures , put it in a car show cause it will most times never look that good again!.............Congratulations on a nice job!

 

Working on buttoning up E brake and hazard switch

Needed a post to keep research and thoughts orginized:

Hazard:

The hazard switch has 5 terminals (1 on each corner and 1 terminal in the middle). The middle post of the switch receives the pink hazard power wire. The remaining four posts tie into the 1. R front turn signal (Blue #725) and 2. L front turn signal (Lt. Blue #726) 3. Wire from turn signal switch to Brake Switch (White #718) 4. Wire from Brake switch to tail lights.

E - brake pedal wire

760
761
762

 

E brake indicator all figured out...
parts ordered and should be as simple as running 2 wires....

new development...

Phantom Horn.. spooky

 

made my 5 wire Flasher harness over the weekend..
does the stock CJ harness have a connector for the flasher, or was it connected with spade ends?

I wanted to make the entire dash "disconnectable" with enough slack on switches that im not pulling things off accidentally. Now I just have to figure out where the 5 wires go
