So for the inside we were debating for a while but we figured it out. we found a liquid rubber type stuff that you paint on with a brush and can then texture if you wish. went on very clean and we dabbed our brushes through it for a rougher texture like rhino. nice black color with great strong traction. and a cloth netting that came with it helped to reinforce our cancer spots. ill post pics after we finish our last layer.

as for dash and walls we are stilll debating. either wood or metal, all custom.

So rebuild is on hold fr a little while. at least until we get more money or more ideas.

currently in discussion:

• rear lights (brake, blinker, reverse, ect.)
• rear gate (custom tailgate, net it, leave it)
• rear bumper (leave, recess, modify, ect.)
• front fenders (trimming)
• front bumper (add winch, stinger, brush guards)
• roll cage (everything)

if anyone has ideas feel free to comment/post.

I think you are talking about the seam sealer tape. If you are going to put in carpet or a plastic floor liner, replace it with regular seam sealer from a tube that you get from an automotive paint shop. If you rhinoline or go bare floor, I wouldn't worry about it. Some water will get in, but it will also seep back out too. The seam sealer tubes are pretty expensive, like $15 - $20 a tube but its better then having wet floors under the carpet. I first put down rubber flooring, then decided to ripped it back out, rattlecan the liner and bought some nice floor molded floor mats for the front. You can't even tell I don't have flooring, they fit so nicely. Nice thing is I just remove them when the floors get wet, which they always do.

So one of the few things we think is very important for a jeep without doors or a roof is a heater. so...

with the dash all apart

this is what it looks like behind my dash.

these ^ metal plates on the front (im opening) and another on top (sits open) are both open/closed by these \/ diaphragms.


a few questions-

• the right names for these parts?
• am i right that the plates control where the heat is being pushed?
• are the diaphragms vacuum, electric, or what?
• how expensive/ hard is it to get these replaced? considering they are already in the open.
• is there a way to test these without an engine?

any help would be great, thanks.

Sorry, long time without comp.

at home we got diamond plate on the rear panels to cover our chop. and started some more bondo.




at the school transfer done bolted to trany ready to go.
engine completely apart,
block getting cleaned,
still needs measured,

Coraphix

So we got everything measure up today.
camshaft: all still above spec, saving.
crankshaft: turned down on last rebuild, still within spec
cylinders: bored 60 over, pistons good, needs new rings

all in all still in great shape, and found out that it actually measures up 252 with bored out cylinders (vs stock 242) not huge but cool.

dad will order parts tomorrow and soon we will put it all back together.
