Went great!! Doors ruff sanded and mounted, aligned as best as possible, front driveshaft installed with new high angle u joints (still too short but I'll deal with that when its time), tranny filled, booster and master mounting finalized, brakes bleed, and transfer case drained and pan dropped and painted.

Since then I have mounted the oil sending unit, mounted the oil pressure safety cut off switch, installed new modern wiper motor (write up on that coming soon), new wiper switch, replaced lower radiator hose, filled radiator, installed rear seat belts, pulled rear bumper to install hitch and reinstalled bumper, pulled one headlight to replace the adjusting screws hardware, chased down a gremlin that appeared for no reason (right front turn signal decide to flash all lights like hazards lol), pulled the fuel pump wire to the back thru the conduit.

Left to do, wire up fuel sending unit, find top dead center, route and make plug wires, , then fire it up and get her registered for IHWR. Many more little things like tow hooks, roll bar (show bar), por15 and paint doors, paint and mount door inner skins, door handles. Oh yea replace driver side inner fender, its causing door not to line up and close correctly. Damn when you write it all out there is plenty left to do.
