Here are some more pics of the grill. I've got it ready for color after a little bondo, sanding, epoxy primer, sanding, hi-build primer and more sanding............... All in all I think it turned out nice.

[size=8]Jesse, nothing on the inside, it's smooth. I'll try to get a pic up in a bit. Gunslinger, it could be a 2A grill I just don't know all the differences. [/size]

Thank you gentlemen. My Jeep is a 1950 model. The second grill pictured is in much better shape than the other.

Tim if someone cut the parking lights out of this grill they did the best job I have seen. I swear it looks like that's the way it was made. Professional to the point that I can't tell.

I'm going to try and use the second grill pictured.

I am finding that I am accumulating enough parts that when I finish this one I'll probably have everything I need to do another.

What is the application for the grill in the second 2 pics. The first 2 pics are the grill that came on my 3A. It had a F-head installed and as a result the grill got hacked. I'm hoping the grill in the second 2 pics will work as a replacement.

By the way Tim is that the original paint scheme on your bell housing?

Thanks to both of you. Getting ready to install my rebuilt engine in and want to tool around the neighborhood with just the frame. I think I like the exotic plywood approach.

I have the tub off of my 1950. Is the tub what keeps the brake pedal from over travel causing the plunger to come out of the master cylinder?

If that's the case what do you guys use when you drive around with no tub on your frame?

I know it's a dumb question, but I've had my tub off for a long time and I'm an old guy that can't remember like I used to.

Cut a hole in the hood is the short answer. The F head is to tall to put in a stock CJ3A. That is the reason they made the 3B's. There are mods you can do to make them fit such as side draft carbs.

Randy, the side-draft was a Carter YH from a 60 something Corvette. Unfortunately, I can't provide any other pics. I had a hard drive die on me and lost almost everything.

I'm going to let my pictures do most of the talking.

I'll start off with a little history. Bought this Jeep out of Georgia 3 years ago. It had an F-head, with a side draft carburetor installed. This allowed the f-head install without cutting the hood. It also has a Warn overdrive as well as a Harrison "Admiral Hat" heater. Drove it for a while then decided I wanted to go back original. Found a couple of L-heads locally, (one is at the machine shop currently) then stripped the Jeep to the frame.

Along the way I bought a powder coating gun and bought a used oven off of Craigslist. (One of the best purchases I've made).

The front clip is in great shape but the tub isn't in the greatest of shape. I may go with a Juan.

Don't look for this to get updated too often as I am slow.

Anyway here are a few pis of some of the smaller projects as well as a couple of the major ones.
