I'm going back-over the carpet. From getting in/out I noticed a high-scuff area. So... I cut an OEM scuff-plate to cover.

Is "For-lamps" what the lights that are covered with the jeep emblem are called officially or just what you call them? Trying to find these and glad you have a picture of what they looked like. Ours just has the beat up outer case.

Of all the times I and others have read this, I never saw the typo. Should be "Fog-lamps".

I didn't notice it until that guy asked but figured you meant fog lights too. LOL.
Anyway I got curious.
In my '84 to '86 parts catalog I find this number. J3237331.
But I don't think those are the ones. Thinking an aftermarket cover that Jeep offered.
I think they are one of these out of my '88 to '90 parts catalog.
COVER, Fog Lamp
56002584 Black/Silver
56002714 Black/Gold

But I so guessing on this. LOL.

My parts catalog shows the below. So I'm going with these as the correct part numbers too.

This is such an incredible build and more incredible is the documentation you are including for the future rebuilders. Thanks so much for that. I am glad to see so much info. I am trying to replace my turn signal. I am not quite sure what it should look like as mine is bare of any labels. Could you shoot a close up picture of yours so I can see what the placement part actually should look like as far as writing?

Wanted to extend the roof-rack end-caps:

1) Original end-cap
2) Prototype - Bondo/spray-primer
3) 3D of Prototype (UPS store)
4) 3D sanded and covered with chrome Vacucoat (https://www.researchgiant.com/metall...ship-mi-48035/)
5) Doorhandle gasket
6) Doorhandle gasket trimmed to fit under end-cap extension

The take-a-way is Vacucoat is just as shiny as chrome, but at a fraction of the cost of re-chroming.

Working on the final punch-list:

1) Cargo-area complete and vacuumed
2) Power-seat controls - Recolored by www.fibrenew.com - NOS woodgrain appliques
3) Front-seat - Rear carpet covers
