Also got the parking brake kind of back in place with all the cables, but can't finish it up until I get my new kick panels. Should ship next week.

Next cluster I have to deal with is all the wires under the dash. I"am installing after market gauges, And I'am not good with electrical.

I bought A gauge cluster from Zack at Z&M jeeps and It comes with A very detailed set of instructions. I read over them several times and it is pretty straight forward.

I had to buy a gear drive starter to clear that oil supply line that comes out of the side of the pan, no way to run a stock starter. Probably had the headers, starter, and trans cooler lines off and on ten times. All very tight, but all of it fits.

Thanks to all for the positive feed back! As most who have tried to work on these rigs, it seems like they are kicking and screaming at you the whole time, almost like a little kid. Also thanks for the link on that decal. not sure what I will be doing with that yet.1978 Wagoneer

one thing is for sure
guys like you who build it yourself
piece by piece
know the vehicle like the back of your hand
when a bug comes up later
you know exactly how it all was done
and that is a huge advantage.
this is a real good build
like brand new vehicle
can't wait to see it complete...and it is getting close.
