Put on the PS scuff plate. Had to remove the old one to do so. Drilled out a few screwheads and pried it up. 50 years of spilled drinks and whatnot glued it down pretty well. Chipped out the glue with a wood chisel, color matched the interior...
Because a floor pan is hard.and I have to replace the ghost of a body mount too.
Scuff plates are bright and shiny and I haven't had one for longer than I've had the hole in the floorboard.
And arrived Friday. I didn't get around tuit till today.nice that it comes with good mounting hardware and the correct drill bit. Nicely packed too.
I tore up my original DS scuff plate years ago so I really needed that one and got started on it...

Just got my 71 back from the windshield replacement shop
The glass was supplied by a national supplier FYG. $169 to the windshield installer. He got it in 3 days. Ordered two to make sure at least one was not scratched. Sent the other on back...
thats some OCD stripping of engine bay, but will be nice.
great seeing you at swap meet today, call if you need help slapping that fing, i mean F motor in truck
I do not know. I imagine that the wiper arm mounts are different, not sure if the linkage would fit your cowl. However, the motor might fit.

Used to be almost routine, especially on trails like the Rubicon, people were always busting birfs. Everybody carries a spare, and the little clips they need...
Tech Tip: Wheel without your door mirrors. Pack a box half full of packing peanuts, wrapping paper and a small ziplok bag. Put the screws in the bag and your mirrors in the box at the start of the trail, put them back on the doors for the drive home.
