Build Thread 83 CJ7 its time to get it done

That looks nice Gert, If I had a shop like yours, I'd be in there 24/7 lol.
I have all the tools, like welders, 3 different sets of torches, a mill, lathe and other toys, but no shop, that's coming in the spring or I move into my mobile home trailer and build it there and sell the house.
I have retirement on my mind and a million things to do so it gets to be confusing lol.

my wife told me i can not have a tv or a couch in my garage because she is afraid i would never come out of it

And today’s winner is equus. Why? Because it was the only one my parts store had in stock lol, it will do for now, one day I will get a nicer one

So was it a 2" or 2 1/16" gauge and did it fit factory hole?

it fit the hole thats in my dash , my new gauge is 2 1/16 but i have an aftermarket dash so im not sure whet the factory dash is cut to. also the gauge i pulled out was a faria gauge so im not sure if it was the factory one or not.

When i replaced my gauge with a manual pressure gauge didnt have to cut the hole out. 2 1/6 fits the stock hole

Yeah but...
Wouldn't that make it more romantic though?
She could visit and bring dinner, or you could invite her to a nice barbequed steak dinner, you know...you don't want to spoil the girl by allowing her to believe that you meant living in the house would be just that when you got married, that is exactly the kind of stuff that can ruin a decent relationship.
Women do tend to want to control things a little right? better stock up on some blankets and a pillow just in case lol.

Well one of you guys was making fun of me for my glove box door not having a working latch but I don’t remember who but I made one today, I’m not paying anyone $10 for that 50 cent piece of stamped metal

I left the top long if anyone can give a good reason to bend it down and drill that big hole in it I still can

As for the furball - very nice!!

No- For the important issue...... You said your wife and daughter went out for a margarita and brought the dog home. How many daughters do you have? I didn’t realize you had one that was 21........

Got my really old Holley fuel regulator plumbed in I think the old carter fuel pump is over powering the secondary float, gonna figure out how to hard mount it and mount the gauge where it’s readable and reading correctly
