We installed the Vintage Air Frontrunner drive system because we were worried about room. We didn't stand a chance with the stock front drive which would have been forward about 2" more than this.

A lot has been happening so far with this one. The tub has been moving along nicely with all of the metal work done and it's in primer right now. Probably early next week it'll all be painted. While the paint shop had some other things they needed to get done, I had the chance to get the tub on...

Skim coat done.

Making progress. I should be able to clearance the front fenders for the shock towers next week and then it'll be off to paint.

I was able to get the tail pipes built and the exhaust fully welded up now. The next job is to get the fuel line built on this thing. For radiator clearance, we had plans on running the Holley Mid-mount but after having issues with getting the correct kit three times(2 incorrect kits and one...

The tub is at the body shop that is located right behind me so I can at least keep up with the progress and help guide him with what we are looking for and filling in holes in the sheet metal that don't need to be there.

So far, I have the brake lines mostly done and the exhaust done at least to the back side of the mufflers. Being stock, there isn't a whole lot of room to work with near the clutch slave and the front driveshaft.

I thought you all would appreciate the build I'm doing on this Jeep for a customer. This will generally speaking be a stock looking CJ-7 from the outside visual but have everything else updated otherwise. This will be running a 6.0L Vortec engine with an AZ-15 transmission. Here's a couple of...

Thanks guys... I can say that the accounting/billing side of the business sure isn't the fun part of the whole experience. :)

Yea...Most people including most of my customers didn't know I was the son-in-law. The way I saw it was it really made no difference to what I was doing so I kept that to myself. I'll get to work on the same stuff here at my own shop now so I'll just continue on with the "normal" day at the shop...

So I have been laying low for a couple of years on here and in my personal life. As some of you know, I worked at my family's hot rod shop Chuck's Speed Center for 20+ years playing with some cool stuff. A couple years back, I separated myself from the business and pulled completely away from...
