Thanks
Looks awesome! I like the final design for sure. I do have one problem though.... that CB antenna isn't going to work. You are going to look like a sunburnt zebra by the time you finish bouncing around on the trail.
It will have a roof, so no sunburn
Yeah but that antenna is going to beat you until you look like you have a sunburn.
how much "burb" body will go back onto this thing?
Basically what I had before. Fenders, hood, roof, rear quarters.
Picture of work done today
drivers side is basically done, well its tacked in. Upper windshield bar is in. Turning out pretty well I think.

That is acceptable you may continue. Looks good
I can't hardly believe the transformation thus thing is going thru. I won't recognize it.
Hopefully it will basically still look the same ish.
And to all you tan haters out there if you want to come over and help me pull the engine, trans, t-cases and axles to paint them chevy orange at $7.99 a can with you buying I am all for it.
In the mean time it will stay tan, may even go a different shade because not to much of the original left.

They usually sell allis chalmers orange tractor paint by the gallon at a good farm store, works great!!!
So bit of a tube update, going to need some more.
Lower windshield bar is in.
Passenger side door bars are in, have to do the piece between the slider and lower door bar.
Moved the vent window bar to align with the lower windshield bar.
I think all said and done I am going to have six dead nodes. The vent window bars as well as the second seat belt bars. I can gusset the seat belt bars so they wont be an issue. The vent window bars not to worried about.
Still have to do the center windshield bar as well as the roof A/B. As well as the X brace or something on the B seat belt bar
