    That's so cool.. Body work is a little daunting for me cuz I fear rust in newly formed crevices. I have a hard time taking pics nowadays myself. Nothing really pic worthy right now anyway tho! Speaking of, I never saw an answer to my PM regarding Super Motors; did you see it?

    Sorry about that! I just responded to it. And I hope to start the CJ project this spring but will have to outsource the engine install as it is just too heavy for my shade tree equipment. I have found a guy who builds race jeeps, crawlers and such to help me out with that. I will be sure to post up pictures on that one here. Then it will be on to the 240Z project.

    My flooring and new insulation came in so in it went. When I am done the whole floor will be covered in Eastwood company's version of Dynamat. Pretty sticky stuff and really helped secure wires and what nots.

    Cutting and shaping the mat...





    Eastwood heat and sound deadener...



    Console installed...





    Seats going in...



    Test fitting the rear mat, I have not installed the insulation yet but will soon...

    Lookin' damn good dude. I went to Pick & Pull today and scored a VERY clean set of captain's chairs for my Trooper. Eventually I think I will get them recovered but for now they will work nicely.

    My ultimate Trooper build will begin this winter. My baby is gonna get done, and done RIGHT.

    I am lovin the VX seats. It is amazing how much more comfortable they are over the stock. It won't be long I'll be moving on to the body work.
