As promised here is a pic of my new to me spectre cowl intake! The sound isn't bad at all in the cab, overall I like it a lot. Not bad for $50

As always, got working on the jeep and I found some rust. Always seems to be like that up here in MN. Anyways, the rust is on the front of the rear flares right behind the rear doors. So i may section it and put parts of a rear quarter on it, but I'm leaning towards this method.

Picked up a diff cover to match the rear. Got it off another forum member. In the next few days I'm planning to install a new track bar. I picked up a used IRO double shear bar for $50!

Well I have bad news, after diagnosing a very slow coolant leak I have found I must have a pinhole in my head gasket. I'll be ordering a Felpro head gasket kit tonight, along with head bolts and a thermostat. Being I have the 0630 head I'm not terribly worried. I will get it machine and new valve stem seals installed. I will post more when I get it torn apart later this week/next weekend.
