I got my gauge holes cut tonight, filled some holes in the firewall and fabbed up a battery box.

Speaking of working quickly...TI, are you the same gentelman who put Volvo portal axles in an 80 series Land Cruiser in a week? Pretty funny when 4Mogger said there was no way you could do it.
I guess he finally shelled out enough money to have someone else build his Unimog axled 4runner after 6 years or so. :-D

This is where the "J" clamp hooks to the cowl top...
Got the last of the throttle linkage finished.
Made some framing for the rear fender wells, going with a 3" notch for the spring.

I guess I do get a lot done but it's because I do something every day no matter if it's just cleaning some parts. Yesterday I started at 10:00 and worked until 8:00, never stopped to eat, drink or go to the bathroom...I kind of get tunnel vision once I get started.

Since I don't plan on running a hood I'm trying to mount as much of the electrics as I can out of the weather.
Now that all the electrical pieces are in place I'll start building the wiring harness.

Really like how you’ve got everything tucked away, not only protects it all but keeps it looking nice and clean. [cl

Picked up a nice model A steering wheel and horn button, I think I like it better than the '40 Ford wheel.
Finished the spring notches, reinforced with 3/4" square tubing.
Tail lights from a '46 Chevrolet.

Finished rebuilding the carbs and buttoned up the engine.
Got the rumble lid latched and lockable.
All I lack on trunk area is to skin the divider between the seat and fuel tank.
