Thanks guys,

After installing the grill I noticed the hood didn't align with the tub correctly (front of hood was higher) so I shaved off 1/4” from the rubber grill mount and that leveled the hood out nicely.

When I purchased the paint to do my Jeep I chose valspar ford blue, but since then TSC stop selling valspar brand and went with majic. I'll need to color match for touch-up paint down the road so I thought it best to return the gallon I already purchased and go with majic. For the record you can still buy valspar paint at a number of retail stores, lowes being one however, I chose to give TSC my business. Majic paint is base out of Columbus Ohio. Yenkin-Majestic is the parent company and has been offering paint coatings since 1920. 

I had to strip the recently painted valspar produced off my dash and repaint it using majic. I also painted, wired, and installed my grill.





I finished the engine bay wiring and tested it by turning over the engine, I just need to install some ignition wires and it should fire up.

Started the passenger compartment wiring   



I finished the wiring and dash I'll will post some pics soon. Began the placement of the seat harness brackets. 

 The main thing for me is to forget a time schedule, as long as I'm working and moving forward on a project, that's what matters.

Thanks for the comments,

Finished the dash wiring and added a couple gauges. Thought an hour meter would be a good addition and far more useful then a speedometer when comes to maintenance and trail use. I also added a vacuum gauge the most bang for the buck on-board diagnostic tool. Besides the ability to diagnose the valves, valve springs, and valve guides or a leaky intake, head gasket, or choked muffler you can also set timing and tune your carb.



I added a marine grade toggle switch for on-board air and a 3000 psi Parker ball valve for a rear brake lock.

Thanks guys,

I added brackets to attach the cage seat harness. I used the lower brace between the A and B pillar to mount the outer lap belt at a 45* angle however, I needed to add some tube to mount the inner lap belt bracket to achieve the same 45* angle.

 



 
A before pic of the cage with builders Ian, John, and Tim (thanks again guys).



I added a few pieces to finish it off.

 

After several hours of prepping.



I still have 1 or 2 hours more of prepping the tight areas.

Thanks,

At first I was feeling all silver, then all blue, then decided to use both colors. I'm not totally happy with the shade of silver, but it should look better next to the blue body.     

Ready for install
