49'ish CJ2A- "Motorboat"

Got some work done. Welded in some new sheet metal onto that rear corner of the tub that had the the "shark bite" taken out of it. Still have alittle to do there before I call it good. I have some painted parts hanging in the living room waiting to be installed. (Yes I have a very pro-Willys wife that puts up with that sort of thing pretty well)

I popped the new Carter WO onto it today, but then I realized the carb doesn't come with any of the linkages and small parts, so now I'm waiting for more parts to arrive.

I'm still fighting with removing that steering wheel. I put a 5 ton puller on it and nothing. Wheel didn't budge although it bent the spokes on the steering wheel pretty good. 

I have no idea why these pictures are uploading sideways. I guess a trip to the chiropractor will be in order for some of you. 

Might take you up on that, getting that steering wheel off has not been fun and its still hanging on there.

Also, if anyone has run their own brake lines, I have an issue/ question. 

I hooked up the rear hard lines with zero issues, everything lined up great. Then I pulled the line going from the master cylinder back toward the rear of the rig, and I can't figure out whats going on with this line from Walcks. It doesn't look anything like the line I pulled out, and its got this weird bend in it. Am I over thinking this or did they send me the wrong line?

That was my hang up too. If straightened, it would be way too long.

In my house that artwork is "frame-able"
