[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1559537, member: 15983"] Getting so close. It's now licensed and insured. A couple of pics as updates. The fuse box is wired, still needs fuses added and all the final testing. James primed the engine and got it started - for a few seconds, then shut it down to get back at the wiring, The wiring is finally 95% done. You can see from the pics that this isn't a hack job. James had to move it to his new show where he would have fewer distractions. Still on the list to complete. 1) Final install of the dash and the switch panel. James wired everything with plugs so that it will be relatively simple to remove the dash with only a few screws and a couple of plugs. 2) Heater Ducting 3) Testing of all the electrical systems. 4) Installation and testing of the remote start system. 5) Final installation of the transmission cover, connecting the line lock and bleeding the brake system. 6) Installation and testing of the road legal horn. This was a very custom part to make a regular center button horn that would function with a removable steering wheel. 7) Sheet metal work in front of the rear tires to enclose the tub. 8) Install the seat and hook up all the seat harnesses. 9) Design and complete the rear hatch system to enclose the batteries, air compressors and air system under a locked access panel which will also serve as a base for a tool/storage box. 10) Install the soft top frame and make sure everything fits. Some of the snaps have disappeared with the installation of a new window frame and with some of the other work, so they will need to be replaced. At that point, it should be ready to DRIVE home. Things still do do after that. 1) CB antenna 2) Look at flare options for the rear as well as mud flaps. 3) I may still cover the tops of the front tube fenders. 4) I just got in the factory style driver's side mirror, so that has to go on. 5) Find a way to mount a high lift and a spare tire. 6) Get a working, locking gas cap. 7) Install the hook for winch. 8) Install D-rings or other style anchors front and rear. 9) Fill it with gas and drive it! Not sure what to do with the MB snorkel cut outs. The intake is already above that level, but the factory snorkel would look cool, but making it functional, might not be worth the time and expense.
