After I get back from Rubicon in August, mine is getting a new low milage 04' Hemi, NV4500, Atlas II 4.3, and 5.13 gears. Then I'm stretching the wheelbase another 6" by pushing the rear axle back. Fuel cell, one of Ken71's rear tire carriers, and I'll need to rebuild my driveshafts. Hey, its only money, right?

Currently it's a 74 with the rust cut out, a 347 stroker, and a nv4500. within the next few weeks/month it will get a half cab, rebuilt c4, stock fuelie 302, flares, panels to replace the rust, and hopefully paint and a lift

This Summer:
* Upgrade to a family cage from Complete Off Road, All 4 Fun Offroad, or Protofab

Fall & Winter:
* Some kind of paint..... Currently have a blue door & grey door, grey hood, and black body. I'll probably hit it all with some grey or black primer in the next couple of weeks.
* Rear Bumper with carrier to hold spare tire, fuel can, & hi lift.
* Upgrade to rear to 31 spline with locker or spool and upgrade rear axles
* Will need get some new tires sooner or later also......

So far:

Ripped it down to a bare frame & had it blasted.
Body is at the shop getting paint.
Started pulling the goodies from the '76 donor.
Bought a ton of new parts.

Next:

Have to paint the frame & install the BC 3.5 lift.
Get the body back on.
Make a decision on original 302 vs. 351.
Get rid of the '76 donor.
Get it all rolling so I can move in December.

Oh yeah, spend LOTS more money...

Well,
I just returned from a month in Brazil and found a new set of corbeau seats with brackets and sliders, a new hood scoop and a new steering stabilizer setting in my livingroom.
And there is a pipe bender on back order until the 16th.
My wife was good to me on Fathers day, she's got this ordering thing down pat.
So now, I just need to install everything.

Oh!
I'm thinking my next project may be a muscle car, maybe a '68-'70 Chevelle SS with a lots of cubic inches under the hood :)

well i have lots planned for my EB. when i get home in jan/feb i plan on:

-first off i need to patch up a few rust spots in the tub
-then LineX
-Smittybilt Roll Bar w/ ftCage
-Recover orginal seats(ft and back)
-powdercoat dash and install Tuffy Glove box
-clean up doors and repaint, install new stainless steal covers
-install softtop i just bought

obviously not in that order...thats just the cosmetic stuff. i also need to have the engine looked at and tuned up.

so if anyone gets bored in jan or feb and would like to lend a hand, just give me a yell! ;D

oh yeah....and i am putting in shoulder/lap belts. i am going to see if i can use the old lap belts from up front and use them in the rear seat.

Just ordered a new C-4 Transmission pan kit from Jeg's. The current pan seal has a nice slow leak so I figured I would spring for one of those nice aluminum ones with fins and a drain plug.

This weekend's project will be to finish sanding down the body to metal. I am hoping to have it painted by the end of the month. Wish me luck!
