I think it's 1/8, if it starts to see a lot of offraod time. Then I'll build something a little more beefy. |

I really like the fuel tank job you did, very clean looking. Got a few questions. What model and year is the filler from. What are the dimensions of the tank and where did you purchase. What was the tank skid out of? Thanks |

thanks, the filler is YJ vintage, but the hoses were modified, the tank I believe a DJ postal jeep, not sure the year, the skid is CJ5. It has to be one of my favorite modification to the willys,

Been driving it around a ton, and did some small projects, I installed a York compressor for OBA, with a small tank in the back.
  Found a small retractable hose reel, I was able to plumb into the system  I also upgraded the electrical system, and detailed the engine a bit  |

too long for an update, not much to report, just drove it around a lot working out the bugs. I did remove the rear family cage, and the swing out tire carrier. It just didn't look right, there was too much going on in back..like a mullet.
 And the tire/can carrier couldn't handle the weight of the tires im running anyways, so it was kind of a waste. Looks so much better. And its finally getting painted. I pulled it apart and sent it over to the shop last week. When it goes back together it will be with painted steel wheels and stock seats I think. Looking for more of modified stock look.   |

The paint work continues, That's the only problem with having the Tech school do the work. Instructor says one day kids are motivated and stuff gets done...next day all they are worried about are the budding romances in shop.
  the windshield frame must of had 50 different size screw and bolt holes all around the frame...they have welded up all of them.  They got the paint, so they sprayed a fender to see how I liked it.  I loved it, but they are repainting the fender, instructor was not happy with the end result. This is the look im going for, but with a less bright red wheel, more of a deep red. And I think Barcelona red seats.  But what a chore trying to find 15x8 steel wheels that will clear the brakes. I have been looking for weeks. I finally called Wheel VIntiques, and they will build a set of there 62 Series 15 x 8, 4" BS CJ pattern for just under $500 to my door.

Im painting the aluminum ones on there, flat black to see how it looks. Probably wont use them, but It doesn't cost anything, and the finish on 2 of the wheels was damaged.
I also ordered a custom set from Wheel VIntiques, plain steel 62 Series 15 x 8, 4" BS CJ pattern

Very nice project, Sir! My daughter and I are doing something similar and it looks like you solved some problems we may encounter as well.
What Mustang radiator is that? We have a I-4 153 GM with both radiator outlets on the passenger side. I saw another member run a hose across the bottom of the radiator to reach the stock lower connection, and that is certainly an option, but I take it this Mustang radiator has the outputs correctly placed for GM engines? What prompted the carrier bearing front drive shaft? We have a th350 slated for use and I had heard of interference issues, but yours is the first I've seen documented. I had heard offsetting the drive train to the drivers side created clearance for a stock style drive shaft. Is your engine mounted in the center, or was there some other issue that caused the interference? Again, you have a very nice rig there! I am showing my daughter what you've accomplished for inspiration! Heath |

Most any radiator shop will swap the outlets to either side you need for a nominal charge. They just solder a patch over the hole after they remove the outlet or inlet.
I've had a couple done with no problems whatsoever. Makes for a much neater installation than running hose all over the place. |
