2020 OMG I hope I’m done before that,
I went to install the towers and realized that my drill was bigger than the space available so I have to make a template since I can’t find the old shock towers

And of course I’m working today , I’m having a hernia surgery in late October, hoping to work enough extra now to eat hole some cash so I can play on the Jeep while I’m out for the surgery

Nope - not even gonna go there. Thought about it, but I’ll just leave it be.
I was gonna say I’d never had that problem - I guess my drill is just smaller than most - but I won’t.
And good luck with the hernia surgery - a buddy of mine just had that done and GE gave home a month off - he got a lotta work done on his Z.......

That, and you haven’t come out of a 20 year job surrounded by high school kids either...... I’m afraid I’ll never get past it. LMAO

Going through this right now. I'm now the lifer at work, still plenty of us around and one of the biggest aerospace companies has brought in these youngsters. You can't say anything that might upset them

I’m kinda lucky that my maintenance dept has some of all ages
Well used an old coffee lid as a template to drill one of my shock towers after church I’m going to try and drill the other one

I meant as a teacher, I’ve been immersed in high school humor for so long I don’t think I can adult anymore...... and for the record - I usually tried to say stuff to tweak em so they would get used to it. To be fair, I always warmed them at the beginning of each year I would be doing it.....

- '80 CJ7, Just a rolling frame right now... will have Mopar 360, Torqueflite 727, D20, full size D44, Chrysler 9.25 with 4 wheel discs. SOA on Rubicon Express 1.5" YJ springs.
Cool idea on the mounts. I'm planing on the Ford truck shock tower mod... I'll have to think about this.

Good luck! Can't wait to see it when it's finished.

Can’t ever get a good pic of him since he is under our feet but I’m getting closer to having him used to the air compressor and grinder
