Jeep is going to be hugger orange and yes there is still some hot pink in there:haha: Yes using a two part poly like I used when I painted Daves cruiser. Tough paint and fairly easy to apply.

sweet shocks:redneck: take that thing off any sweet jumps:haha:
just kidding:D
just kidding:D
Lets just say its been airborn more than once in its previous life :haha:
I actualy spent most of the day working on the jeep again.:haha: Summers getting close I need to get my butt in gear:haha:
So I got the radiator mounted up and started in on the fans. Got the shroud/mount made up and just need to pull it all back apart againg to weld some mounting tabs on to the shock hoops to hold it all together. Looks like I will have a whole 1/4" clearance between the one fan and the AC compressor:eeek: Got the diamondplate back on and the drivers side fenderflare. They probably wont last long but the TJ rear flares cover most of the tire (all that street legal jazz):haha:

That is looking really nice Jim.
Nope Hasnt ran since I pulled it from the cj5. That was the biggest Radiator I could find that fits in a flatty. I am using a set of twin flexalite fans. Worked great on the old rig and I like the idea of having two fans so if one pukes theres still a backup. Plus their pretty thin.
Yep I know I am hoping to get about another 1/2 by reversing the radiator bracket and taking some meat off of the grill
Yes with 7 extra inches in front
Pics of the fenders please :cheer:
Got a few things done this weekend. All these "little" items are real time suckers:booo:
Finished up the radiator and fan mount. Got a full 1/2" of clearance to the compressor now:redneck: Wound up tieing it to the nose bar for the upper mount. Found some alum, tube that fit over the 3/8" bolts and then drilled some 1" holes in the grill for grommets so the grill has a little movement from the frame. Got the batterys mounted under the passenger seat along with the air tank. Was a little worried about have the batterys on their side on the floor (rubbing) so I found a great use for a couple of old mouse pads:haha: The winch syl, is for tieing the batterys together for charging and when that extra grunt when needed for long pulls. Even got the starter syl, mounted. Bunch of other small things but they all need to be done:booo:

This looks remarkably like Henry's old rig from about 92/93. Had a wicked small block with a big cam back then. Stainless hood and windshield frame.
