Pulled the new frame out of the jeep tonight and started drilling the holes for the bolts that will hold on the new skin on.

Went yesterday to the steel yard to pick up a stick of 1x1 square tube to build my tailgate. I ended up dragging home a stick of 1 1/2 DOM tubing and a stick of 1 5/8 DOM along with the 1x1 tube all for the low price of $45 bucks! For that kind of money I had to let em follow me home! I'm going to eventually build a new grill and tube fenders out of the DOM

Had to pull the jeep out of the garage today to work on another car so I thought I would snap a couple of pictures of the whole project and share em.

Yes I'm running Y belts. I wish I had some racing seats for it but the price was right for these (free). The shoulder straps really don't move around on me much even though they don't run through the seat. But to be honest I just wear the lap belt most of the time. All the belts and the seats are mounted to the cage.
