I like it. I am pretty sure I will do the same thing. I need to get my seats then mock it all up. I also like the rear quarters you bolted on. Or the look of the bolted on quarters. I just ordered some bud built rear quarters and was going to get them welded on. I may bolt them on now. Thanks for the help.
Nice thread resurrection; looking forward to the update

Started to rebuild the 205. Got most of it done but the speedo drive gear is stripped out. gotta order another to button it up. Got the TTF clocking plate in. Didn't take to many pics cause there are tons of threads on rebuilding the 205. here are a few tho.
you can see the stripped gear in this on.
I also didn't like the puck style motor mounts, so i made these.
They are interlocked inside so they could never break apart. They are not touching inside. they are made of poly and have a hardness of shore 80A
I believe the other mounts i have for the tcase are shore 85A. So they should work good together.

A little 14 bolt brake conversion tech. After all the research i did on the conversion, I came to the conclusion I wanted the new studs. I didn't like how the factory studs fit in the 3/4 ton rotor. I know everyone just reuses them, but i just didn't like how it didn't seat in the rotor. In the brake swap thread by on the other site 
it gives the stud's part numbers they recommend. I believe that part should be edited, to not recommend those studs. This is how those fit compared to stock.
I didn't think the knurl protruded far enough. So I thought maybe taking the studs to a machine shop and having them turn them down a bit. Then i remembered i'm to cheap for that. What i ended up doing is just putting the studs in my drill press and using a grinder with a resin disc to turn them. I think they came out great. Here are some pics of all of it.
Could not seat properly
My machine shop
Before and after. And the POS dorman stud # 610-228 with no knurl that's recommended by the other thread on the other site

np 205 twin stick mod
I went to the pomona auto swap meet and picked up a few things i could use on this project. I picked up a 1/2" end mill and a cross slide drill press vise. It's not the most precise method of milling but neither was my Lathe.
so i used it to mill the selector shaft for the twin stick np 205. worked out pretty good i think.
I was going to send the shaft out to be modded, but again i realized i'm cheap. so i started by putting 2 straight lines across the shaft. This is so i don't cut to low and to measure. The tape worked perfect
slapped it all in my mill press.
and finished shaft.
