Wow, super talented!! I have to ask, what was the Bonide Spray Oil used for? Laffin, that was used on a couple of my trees and shrubs outside of my shop.

Well, been a while. Got the lights done, now have the gauges to go. Have the transmission and transfer case out, worse than I thought. Not only had a bad gear, the shifting tower on my transmission has a big ol crack! So off to my local transmission shop, cause he has an old Willys wagon that he pulled out his transmission and transfer case out. He was nice enough to give them to me, so I will be swapping cases and the twin stick. I have parts on the way from Herm so I can complete the rebuild. I also, had to drop the fuel tank, because my rear cross member need to be replaced with a more stout piece. So I am waiting on those parts and then will get it down to the welder to get it in. I love going backwards! But, with the transmission out I can work on the gauges a lot easier! Did get some of the final painting done. Decided to paint the roll bar the same as the jeep....man what a pain!

Look forward to seeing the finished product but it looks outstanding so far. That color really works.

Bring it on over, Jason, and we'll take a ride thru the mesquites in search of hogs.😀
Well, maybe we'll just ride down Main Street in it.
