So I decided to put up a thread of my new project. Here's a few "before" pics.

 

I have been working on it a lot lately in the evenings. The first thing I did was rewire all the accessories and add my MSD box.



Since this will be an offroad toy I gave up on the climate controls especially since there was an electrical issue with them so I removed them and put my switch block in their place.





I also decided to remove the a/c compressor in order to be able to mount my batteries and remove the parasitic loss. I also removed the fan sinceI am using 2 electric fans.

 

I had a bunch of spare steel so I built a front bumper out of 2.5"x.250 angle iron to weld one up.







In preparation for building a long arm front suspension and a cage I am adding a 3"x.250 angle to the frame rail to reinforce it.

 

There were too many lights on top before so I redid the bar, and cut back to 4 lights.

 

I know that I take a lot of pictures when I take them. I guess that it is because I don't take them during all the work. I am gonna try to keep the camera in the shop so I can get more during pics.

 

you should put the cb in the dash to, in place of the air vents...

looks good...

 

Thought about it, but since it gets stored outside I take it and the face off the radio and store them in the shop so I like the easy removal.
