The surface rust on the frame is kind of weird. Was it partially media blasted by the previous owner or somethin? I am sure you will reblast/coat it once fab work is done, just curious.
Do you already know where new body mounts need to be added based on Bill's build, or will be you be placing the cab/valance/inner fenders on the frame to mark everything up?

Jeep burned. Yes, will have local dustless media blaster. Going to place cab on frame. Set front mounts and go from there. Followed the measurement of frame. Amazingly it is still square tough frames.

Park it outside for the night. Back at it soon enough. Time to work on getting cab off old frame and rest it on new frame.

Got my email today on drop in motor mounts. Should be shipping this week. After engine and transmission installed. Can drop cab onto frame and set front wheel gap. This should set everything in order. And actually determine my next course of action. It is moving along at a nice clip. Not used to a project taking this long...lol

So I finally got my bolt in Motech motor mounts. Kind of neat and clean and easy. Also came with extender plate for transmission cross member.

So these are the anchor part numbers they use. They also make a little custom heat shield for the rubber Cadillac mounts.

Loved to help with AC, In the middle of moving my equipment up to my son's shop this weekend so little tied up, but I'll swing by with my J10 next week.
