The only graphics you'll likely ever find on our projects are the various sponsors we work with. Both our last two jeeps were fully painted, wrapping around the door jams, and right into the Jeep. Even the tribal looking designs on both the rendering, and our other two Jeeps were all done by hand, painted, pinstriped, and cleared.

This Jeep is going to have enough going on with the motor, drivetrain, suspension etc. The paint is really just likely going to be an understatement considering the rest of the build should speak for itself. We do appreciate all the feed back though!

Another forum member asked us how we planned on removing the valve covers for valve adjustments...Here is the latest.

The pictures below show a removable cross member that will allow us to lower the motor in the jeep to remove the valve covers etc with out pulling the motor. We're hoping to have this cross member in place by Thursday. Should have more updates by then.

Sorry, not sure if this has been covered but what are the plans for the rear seatbelts? Lap belts?

There will be harnesses on all four buckets from Mastercraft. They are also providing us with the restraints for the seats.

The engine cross member has been welded into the frame, and we were able to get the dash installed to see how much room there really was to work with. There is obviously a lot less room under there than there used to be but it looks like we should be able to keep this looking very clean once everything is boxed in.

We also got our clutch master cylinder from South Bend, and they are going to be installing it shortly as well. We want to make sure there is still lots of room for the pedals etc.

Here are a few pictures of the progress made under the hood:
