Brakes are still up in the air.

Harness is done, and was done by the crew in Mountain View I believe.

I thought Jeff was going to update this.

So is this going to be finished at the shop?  How far along is the body/tub now?

I don't think Jeff has anything to do with it. He's just the money. Everyone else is doing the work.  Evil

With the 203-205 doubler does the adapter clock the 205 up or is that the stock location? How are you gunna do the exhaust? Is it going to get in the way of the ds? or run it down the driver side frame rail?

Jeff actually has been doing a lot of work on his jeep. 

He's done all the work on the 70 other than setting up the gears (learned as we went).  He did the disc conversion etc.

The exhaust will likely be run down the DS frame rail.

I'm better with comp than he is LOL.

Aaron is in charge of keeping this thread on track. I am lucky to find enough time to work on the project. I thank you Aaron.
The 205 is "clocked". The ORD kit has that option now.

The tub is not done. I kept changing the wheelbase. The wheelbase is now set, and the tub will be painted black. When it is finished is totally up to the friend who is doing that work for me. I do not have the desire for body work any longer. Too little time, and I am too picky.

I was just raggin' on ya Jeff, I know you're capable of doing it all yourself.   I know I'd gladly accept help on mine. Tongue Can't wait to see it, going to be unique... around here.

Thanks to Aaron for posting the pictures.
Very pleased with the manifolds. Super joints seem great too.
