it’s an amazing work of art...
nothing pre punched, drilled, or nutserts...

blank canvas...  ;D
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

I cut cardboard yesterday to the radius of the hood drip rail....

Need to go to HD and get some masonite or 1/8 ply...

Might be a next week activity...
I want to be able to test for the cut board to my tub and get a good reference point....

I also just decided that my 6 will be coming apart soon.  (At least the front clip)
I will be doing a hyd clutch conversion and need to see if using the stock 73 pedals will be easier than a YJ swap..
Also need to figure out steering…

May have not turned a wrench yet.. but im making moves..

If you're swapping to a hydro clutch, I'll gladly take your old linkages :)

not scheduled, other than I've been told the heep needs to be out of the garage before the snow falls.
