WOW!!!! I've seen some rig up jeeps, but the c-clamps holding the exhuast collector together, thats a first for me.

Good luck with it, and thanks for sharing the photos.

Nice Project. It wouldnt hurt to lay some of those pics out with a brief description of how its gotten this far. No pressure.

That 8 is looking very good. I am restoring an 8 as well but have far more rust issues to deal with still before I get to posting progress pictures.

 

[jeeperz]

Hey thanks,

Yeah i still have the whole rear bed to replace. Already replaced the cab floors and tranny tunnel.

Good luck with your 8!!

Finished the brakes lines, fuel system, and bolted on windshield frame and doors.

I like it (not a big fan of bobbed 8s though). Keep us updated.
