Project...Kahuna 66 cj6

Got the brake pedal/booster assy finished today, also made the rad mount and bolted up the radiator. Got the fenders and grill on and lined up. A little modding to the gas pedal assy and it'll be ready to mount.
Need to finish brake/gas lines then start on wiring....oh and some paint touch up

Loooookiing gooooood!

 

Does running but 1/2 painted count?

 

Guys the plan is to be driving this rig THIS month
Been fun watching everyones projects, I learn alot by watching what ya'll do

Well good. In that case Mike and I will expect to see you in Anza-Borrego in 2 weeks.

 

I've given up even *having* a plan...

 

finished up the pedal assemblies tonight. I had to cut down and reweld the brake arm to line up L to R and up and down. I hooked up the linkage to the carb, still trying to figure out how to make a hand throttle linkage work w/ what I've got.
Next up...finishing brake/gas lines

R)R)R)yea I gotta finish the 6...my wife says her Lincoln is next
I'm going to use the same cage , but....plan on changing the rear portion somewhat, thinking that I'll put a taller rear hoop and tie it in w/ some spanners...got any ideas? I'm open to help or suggestions
let me know when I can come down and see your completed rig

Recieved my gauges today. I think they'll go well w/ the coloumn mount Sunpro tach.
first pic...dash as it looked when pulled from the M38A1
second pic....dash after body n paint
third and fourth the gauges installed
sorry about pic quality, such as it is
Getting closer guys.....how ya'll doin on your projects?R)
Jim S.

 

OK...brakes are plumbed....gas lines are plumbed...now it's on to the wiring harness
wish me luck...Jim S.

 

Got the battery box built and mounted on the firewall. Scavanged the starter solenoid and ballast resistor from the donor M38 and mounted them. Layed out the harness, seperated the wiring then got it all ready for install. Mounted the fuse box and horn relay, then pulled rear wire through firewall and routed to the back. Pulled front wiring for engine and lighting to engine compartment.
Now that I'm actually into the process things are making sense...think I've got my head wrapped around it Good day in the garage
Jim S.

 

In order to finish the rear wiring I needed to mount my corner guards and lights. I was going to use flush mount lights, but now I think I'm gonna mount up the originals.
A little "bling" is alright on a jeep..................isn't it?
