Been a while, damn swine flu.
But secondaries on


And on the chassis



Hopefully have the collector done tomorrow.
Building headers is a wee task.

Well spring is coming.
It is getting close to body time.
Willys-Overland seems to be the place to buy.
New pics soon

Nite

The headers do look rough, but you did a lot better than I could.
The doors look TJ era? Can CJ and TJ interchange?

Hey, TJ Apex
Actually, I was going to clean the welds on the headers up and make them look pretty. But after talking with the exhaust guy, I decided to leave them looking "home-built".

As far as the doors go, those are 100% 1981 CJ7 doors.
They are the doors that came on my unit when I bought her in '81
I don't believe anything is interchangeable between a CJ and a TJ,
however someone more knowledgeable may be able to say.

Actually I was thinking of TJ doors going on a CJ, but I think you are correct about non-interchangeability. My buddy’s CJ has full soft doors and he was looking for steel half doors.

Ok, after a minor wait, say a week, here's a body from Willys-Overland.
Awesome guys to deal with.
And a box full of goodies as well.
She's sittin on 4x4s and getting the inside coated to my specs.
Tomorrow she get the underside done.
That way if it rusts, my problem.
Guess what?
It will not rust.
Enjoy,
