DOAH!!
It did great tho with Mary driving and you should be happy with it..
That whole fuel injection thing was FUNNY! That's why I want to upload my daughters video because you can hear it. 
That was good, Mary didn't miss a beat that's for sure.
Ok, so here's a little after the fact update...
First, I finally installed my Spicer locking hubs (broached to 35 spline).
There are 2 O-rings you can replace, on the knob and the bezel.
Info from Pirate4x4
I took these numbers to Motion Industries and bought enough for 2 pairs of hubs for less than $3.

I installed my fender liners. I had to chop some off of the front and the rear since my wheel openings are cut out pretty big. I also had to cut a hole for my battery box to poke through (hindsight: I should have placed my battery box higher on the firewall).
First of 2 short videos -

Do those Spicers work?
I suppose in just installed condition they might.

Made it up that Hill effortlessly!
I'm not a hill climber at all so I thought it looked a little tough but I guess not. Next time I'm thinking about trying a different line that looks nasty. We'll see...
Big step today, I chopped the top! It's not welded together yet, I'm going to have the "new" frame media blasted and then re-do so seam sealer first. I'm also going to work on the cage before finish the windshield frame.
I slugged it as suggested in other write ups, 3"x 3/4" tubing massaged to fit the pillar.
Looks like one of those convertibles you see people driving with the windows up.

Very cool sir!!!
The old glass was all cracked up before I took it out so I haven't messed with it but my top to bottom measurement at the center of the hole looks really close (maybe 1/8" big). I still need to take a grinder and trim each post a hair so they fit squarely together, I think that'll make it just just right. Whew!
