nice looking headers, I've never seen those before. Those are Edelbrock's Ti Tech coating, 2.25 collectors good for 1600 deg F. Should endure the cam break in ;D

Man even the parts rig looks in good shape. Looks like a powerhouse build man. Cant wait to see it done. Da Dogg I know, I was going to swap bodies, but the floor had that Flinstones thing happening from one end to the other and the frame is really bad. So i am going to rob the doors, Ft clip some body panels.

K change in plan, talked to my body guy and it was easier to repair the floor than fix exterior panels on the purple one. "Rocky" helped Frame in really good shape Remnants of the purple dino Ah the fun stuff, ignition upgrade Almost 1/2" thick "live wires" TBI EFI wohoo!!!! 700cfm

Rotten rear body mount Other side, no better Shackle hanger not good!!! Low hanging rotten hitch, gotta go Open kinda soft frame rail $50 doesn't go far anymore New rear X member Hitch will pass through the stock rear bumper New rear bumper mounts Frame prepped for new hangers, with inserts Hanger mounted, Ford ranger hanger BTW Had to weld the rear of the hanger because some dumb ass put this in the way, oops Supposedly this stuff is great, we will see. If it sticks to the jeep half as good as it stuck to me I'll be happy It's soo shinny

its tough to get excited over rust repair. a nice job tho, it looks stock painted up.
I've heard that is the worst spot on the FSJ, next to the long tank. Toys are like that too.

Ya if you seen the way it is designed up close it'd horrible, the molded tank actually protrudes inside the frame and the skid goes under that. An absolute trap for mud and salt. Prob can't see from the pics, but I made the lower section narrower so i can mod the skid to allow debris to come out the bottom(I hope)
