Coming together very nicely. Can't wait to see the end result. Great work.

Getting some snow recently

~25 cm

This was last weekend in my back yard. It's snowing hard today but unfortunately we got a bunch of wind this week so it's doubtful if we can get out wheeling. Between the snowmobiles and the drifts I think we're already done for the season until spring. We went from nothing to a whole bunch in one fell swoop!

small update.
very small.
Tacked the caps on the motor mount brackets





Also decided I'm going with the NWF Eco Box for a underdrive infront of my NP205 (32 spine throughout !)

1/2 way through re building the front D60 - did the u Joints. just waiting on a sale to order some gear sets.

Kicking around ~4.10 -5.13's .... any input from you guys who use their rigs? - im just a jack stand wheeler heh

Looking great! For gears, I feel pretty strongly about gearing to the desired cruising rpm. I prefer Dana/spicer. I've picked up used gear sets the last two times. I prefer used OEM over some of the questionable brands out there these days.

Thanks!
I'm sure I will regret going with the G2 brand gears, but its a balance between time before I can drive this thing vs budget.
Trying to make high quality parts where I can and buy slightly less expensive parts. We'll see. Just want to drive the thing before I sell or kids come.

I used the gear calculator again and came up with at ~2200 rpm I can do 60 mph, with 4.56 gears

might be the best choice.

Trying hard to get to a roller with driveline installed by summer.

small update.

body mounts in order, now i need to figure out where to locate it.

I was going for that retro '68 vibe styling

Holy shoot it’s been a while.

Almost done, just painting and putting it back together.
Hopefully wheeling this winter!

Hey, thanks for the update. I hope you get it running by the time the snow flies. Stop by and share some pics!

[Fubar]

Finished the paint last weekend, brought it back home. Rock guarding the armor panels this weekend. then I have some wiring, axle gearing and drive shafts... along with all the other little stuff

[Fubar]

Hey, noticed I haven't updated the build progress in a while.
Sometimes I can't keep track on these 12 year projects

Here's a few photos from last fall. As it stands now it is about 90% complete.
Just need a few things like: paint hood yellow, ebrake cable hooked up, speakers installed, front fender liners, on board air lines hooked up for the ARB front and rear lockers.
Then inspection and hopefully can drive it around a bit!
Its entered in a local car show beginning of April, so I got a bit of wind in my sails to wrap up the small items.

hope you're all doing OK
cheers,
