Looks like you have good jeep to start with, how is the underbody? TNJ did have their underbody kits for $250, what size are those tires on the rear?

Rear tires are 7.00 x 16 LT tube type.
There as 2 areas on the crossmembers I need to repair. The harnesses are rotted so I'll be shopping for those. And plenty of panels to repair/replace.

A disassembled '68 151 and a RoadKing? Looks like my garage. Good taste in toys. :D

I now have some panels to start. Still need front fender tops and rear panel. This is not as easy as you guys make it look. I guess I need to extend my timeline to 2 years.
The Roadking is a 2002. Trying to buy a 95 Police Roadking too. Have a 2013 limited in shop after son in law crashed. He wasn't hurt much and only 11k damage :cry:
