    probably another couple of months until i finish up the rest

    left to finish:

    Driveline work:

    Buy and install new intermediate shaft for doubler
    Flanges and driveshafts F/R

    Sheetmetal work:
    Build floor
    Rebuild firewall around air cleaner

    Rear Suspension:
    cut out temporaries
    make new upper link and axle side mounts
    make new lower links and frame mounts
    mount shocks

    Misc.
    Repair / reroute broken brake lines
    re-route steering lines
    replace rear calipers w/ Chevy calipers
    upgrade master cylinder
    hook up line lock
    re install interior

    After it is running and driving I would like to build a new cage but that will wait
    I will probably paint the entire thing at some point

    Rod ends have been ordered for the rear suspension and front track bar.

    If they come in Saturday it should be back to being a roller by the end of the weekend.

    I have also started painting the fenders I build several years ago.

    Whats left after putting the rear suspension back together:

    fix brakes and steering

    Build floor

    patch firewall/ air intake

    t-case flanges, driveshafts, yokes

    Reinstall interior

    1 1/4 heims from ruff stuff came today. They are pretty sweet. I also cut part of the existing cage out because it was in my way so I guess i will be building a new full roll cage.

    Getting Closer. Moved the jeep back and forth under its own power today in the garage. I have verified that I did indeed put the transmission together as it at least has reverse 1st and 2nd gears. I also wired the electrical fans

    Short list of things to finish up before I pull it out of the garage on Saturday hopefully. Unfortunately one of those things is to clear all of the crap that has been piled into the garage blocking its way out.
