I want to see these picts!

Another pict from earlier.

Yep u got to autozone or O'Reilly and ask for a thermostat and they ask you if it's 4x4. Lol. It's convenient somtime and others a pain!

Well I sanded and sanded and had added more glass last night...I finally laid the felt material I got at Walmart with 3m 90 and I got 1 dang wrinkle but I will deal with it.. just git in a hurry I guess.. I took the girls blow dryer and kept petting the stuff down and working it.. I will get the sides wrapped around after this sets up good.

got front 97 conversion pretty much done..just add black grill and bezels when I get them... I painted with some free paint I had in cans and if anything it will work for primer later. But for now I have 7 cans of this stuff and not a dime fir it ..so I'm using it all. I have a few runs at front clip as I didn't quite sand them down far enough from po....who was awful at putting a front header on the jeep I pulled at yard..I had to add the plastic inserts to it for lights,but I had those on old grill .... i need to sand and the body work where the big Crack was on header panel still..I ran a channel of metal behind it and screwed from the back side through and then cut the ends with zip disk...jb welded etc.. seems solid!

Well I paid 250 for head bare. It cost me 150 fir the rest of valves,springs,seals...400 total...I didn't have any problems with it ..everything was lined up and seemed fine and just put in.....the machine work was smooth! U will save having your old 1 checked and magna...considering your head is fine ,valves etc..new seals of course tho...!!if not u loose out lol ,then either a used 1 or like I did.. I haven't ran it a bunch but will see how it works (it better hold up )))))...Thankyou I'm pleased so far.. I'm changing things and not going to tie up alot of money in this yet.. just want the ride to look a little better and be machanicly sound! I shopped around git the valves on ebay and the seals...git the springs from summit bc they were 3 bcks a peice!

I get the feeling ur not liked...oh well good luck with your build anyhow were not all "i assume" as smart as some as these others on here lol.....I commend you fir trying and starting a build thread.

I have the same bumper on my 1991..Nice build ..

Nice!

eventually going all white with black grill,bezels and wheels and kinda oem airbrushed stripes.. also have ordered all clear lenses.

Also New passenger fender came in and I was very pleased with fitment and quality. ..the salvage yards around here think they have gold ..I guy told me 85.00 a fender and wouldn't budge. I thought to take a trip to tulsa if they had a few but decided to spend 76 ttd and screw it!

Installed new distributer after getting the wrong 1... 2 different times at auto store. Sealed up with new seals and I was shocked about how much wiggle I had compared to the new 1..the old 1 was shot!

Congrats!!! Look forward to this!

Yes I bobbed my bed...it was a long bed and made it short bed length. ..so I have technically a long bed 2 wheel drive as title says lol....that's a funny with the wife don't ya just love that I told ya so look??? Glad ur running and getting progress ! Well I will have to try that sea foam on a few projects of mine in the future.

Awesome man!!Good job on the motor!

I like it!

Awesome!! Ya it needs to be run!! Blow the webs out! Congrats I've heard great things about sea foam never used it myself tho..

Sweet!

Looking Great!

Depends on where the leak is at? Most likely u can get a caulk tube of window sealer and get it done. I have a whole tube of it the guy gave me after a window install. Forgot the name of it would have to check.

This sounds interesting! Congrats!

Well I would either get a different dash and dye it or put a black dash mat over it and call it good.. but that's me... 97 swap is a huge undertaking but can be done well.. I have a Crack in my dash on my 89 and have a dash mat over it... yes black is sweet! Oh and yes the engine is the worst in my opinion but I would stick with a jeep engine personally bc it's a jeep! If not I would do a vortec swap bc those are great engines also! Good luck!

Way to be persistent! If I had to make the next step it would be plug wires with what you stated!

Nice!

Looks Great!
