by the way the paint looks great. I coated my Transfer Case with several coats inside and out of Eastwood cast iron. I plan to paint the front input housing in Eastwood Alumia blast to make it look nicer and i shot some clear coat on the new stuff. At least we will get to admire our work when we are doing maintenance even if no one else sees it

Gert- that looks great. I need you get you guys a shot of the T-18 too. I really like
how it turned out. I added a little AMC blue to a part or too to be unique.
I've thought about etching in the kids names somewhere or my initials too,
Could be kind of neat. I've been using VHT high temp paint and primer.

Finished up taking off the shipping paint on the other header and primed and painted with VHT high heat paint... Let me suggest that if you're thinking about trying to save some money, don't do it. Just buy the ceramic painted headers up front.

Looks great! Love your work. It's a long way from a 4cyl SR4 now isn't it? Take a look and enjoy how far it's come.

Looks good!

Very very nice, wanna come to the Hoosier and do mine, when the time comes?

Thanks Guys! I'll be getting the body on it soon so we can make sure it fits up. Then, probably get the chassis home so I can do some more assembly as the body gets finished up. More than likely spring time until I get it all together. After all this work the last thing I want to do is be transporting this thing around with salt on the roads.

Looks great....nice work!

Starting to look like a CJ again. Body fit up well, except there is Gap to work from the fenders to the body. The body even cleared the T-18 which I need to figure out a solution for as it does not bolt up to the skid plate. Great to see things coming together.
