    The flares are plastic Bill. Thinking about bending some sheet metal to fill the gap and with to the body.

    Got the wheelhouse notches done today. I would love to get to fixing the floors, but the rotisserie is occupied.

    Got a lot done this weekend. I rebuild the transfer case a few weeks ago and found that the front output shaft was snapped. Had to wait for that to come it to finish the rest. I put that all back together yesterday and in. Then I cut out the rest of the floor rot, tacked in some patches and built some new floor supports. I put the body on the frame to see how it looked. I'm really happy with it.

    Oh yeah, still LOTS of fabbing to do. I put the body on so there was weight on the suspension so I could set the pinion angles.

    Today I'll be pulling it back apart for paint. I did its final trail ride yesterday.

    Thanks guys!

    I have 3 3As, so I have fulfilled that requirement. Now I need 2 2As, 5 CJ5s and 6 CJ6s. :D

    Body is now on the rotisserie. Just some welding and grinding, and I can send it out to get sand blasted.
