Great job! Will you be using a steel or fiberglass hood? An inspiring amount of work done. Mark

Thanks guys
Mark, I have to make the hood from the dodge hood and nose cone fit the willys center section, because the body lines are oppisite from the dodge to the willys, the body goes in after the body line on the willys and it comes outward after the body line on the dodge. so mating the dodge stuff to the willys is the best way to go Ron...

Ron... here is the first fitting of the main bar: this picture is what the front bars will look like: here is the main bar and the back bar in place: fitted back into the cab: here is where I cut the cab to move it back 3": from the pass side with the bar tacked in place: I decieded to put in a rear brace bar: back bars setting in place: lower rear bars mount area, right to the shock mounts: upper area, I have to wait to weld these bars in till I get the back of the cab done and make the front bars, then finish all the welds and finish the chop top: and here is a pic of the filler piece for the added 3" to the cab:
