BTW here is a link to the pics of my trip this past Labor Day trip where I acquired a lot of scratches for those on the trails telling me it was too prudy to wheel.:headbang: http://s82.photobucket.com/user/ttrdiablo/library/TRO%20Labor%20Day%202014 It has been 5+ years since the Jeep had been...

So the cut was made a few inches back parallel to the line/crease where the hump meets the lower part of the hood. Then straight up just below where the curve starts. Then back to the start of the cut. Triangle. The same was done to the other side. The front/bottom was cut following the line...

Thanks guys. You guys crack me up! I will do my best to keep it right side up, but now what that is out of the way....I'm ready to get back in the saddle. The hood scoop was originally designed for a CJ7 with a 454 by an old friend of mine whom decided to go another route so I bought it...

OK the Jeep is finally put back together and for the first time out in the sun! After the windshield was installed I had to put my visors back on and remembered that over time they would come loose and the bolts would hollow out and eventually I removed the altogether. So I drilled the holes...

Glenn laying down Black Cherry Pearl (Point of no return, but at least no longer root beer brown): 2 coats of single stage now waiting to dry: I pulled all the tape and will allow it to dry for a few days. I'll start reassembly on Monday. I still have the cage to repaint, fix the front diff...

Received a few more pics of the roll from Glenn. The love of labor We got all the cowl, fenders, hood, grill mocked up so once the cowl is welded in place, we should be really close to paint. Got all the sanding done to prepare for sealer/primer the the exception of a few spots that need...

BTW A buddy of mine was filming the recovery of the roll over. Thought I might share it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=272244002970239 Progress is slow going but going. Firewall is straightened, cowl is mocked up, framework for it all is done and welded in place. Time to mock up the...

Cowl arrived! Like x-mas in July! We also made more progress on the hood/windshield. Previous owner had a lot of bondo so we removed it all. A lot of work to repair it but it is taking shape. Add'l Pics soon.

Update on my progress; New Blank dash is on and ready for customization (Fed ex bend all corners. Doesn't matter since I'm going to cut into it anyway but just sucks). Replacement stainless windshield hinges also came in. (Sucks because I only needed one so had to buy a new pair. Anyone need a...
