Took the wagon out yesterday. Was still a tiny bit of snow up top near Crown King.

Got some work in on the 40 today. Fun with steering boxes and some rib repair.

Nice work on the dash. I just don't know what goes thru peoples minds when they decide to hack a hole in the dash or drill holes right thru the ribs. Do you have pics of just how you did this in the middle of before and after?

 

[JackA]

I agree it's pretty strange some one would drill h0les in the ribs to mount some switches. The fix went like this. I held a piece of metal in from the back then welded the holes from the front. Then some bondo, then sanding, bondo, sanding, primer, sanding, primer, then done. Here's a picture of the metal welded in before any bondo.

Excellent work on the dash, nice and clean.

Just a little bondo required.

Got the steering column assembled and rigged up the top. Surprisingly it keep the interior mostly dry thru the heavy rain and hail yesterday.

Placed the seats I am using inside for mock up. I don't fit with the stock bench, so I plan to make a mount that bolts in like stock but holds these Best Top Jeep seats (I got them for free so don't beat me up over Jeep parts in the Cruiser). My mount will be easily removable and back to stock if need be. Which is pretty much the theme with the whole build (not to change much from stock).
Also made some windshield hold downs since I am using a later model year windshield frame and don't have a complete set of clamps yet. I need one more clamp and hook. Then I will make a new hook that bolts on like stock and enables me to use the early clamps.
