you do plan on cutting that cross brace and installing some bolt flanges right?.how do you plan on getting the motor out if you don't ?

i'm sure you plan on doing the flanges but i was just curious

I love to see XJs built like that. Nice job. I've got to get out to see that in person. Nice job.

heres the latest, it's pretty much done on the heavy fab work but there is some boxing & bracing to do, also we are going to cut the pass side of oil pan to make room for the upper control arm. We decided to move the rear shocks back out side the unibody.. so we did cut two holes in the floor for no reason now here are the pics
front crossmember and what not

here is the back

here it is standing back, also this shot shows where the upper control arm is close to the oil pan, but it's hard to see.

Oh man, that makes me want to build another XJ. I'm just drooling looking at those pics.

That thing is sweet. You've really done a hell of alot of fab work there. Can't wait to see it in person!

I wanted to Thank Matt @ Outer Limit Motorsports for taping out the links for me and my dad they did a great job and were very fast

My dad is crazy with the grinder he has alot of patiance, and takes the time to grind every thing perfect. we have been making all the tabs and brackets with oxy/ace torch so there is a ton of grinding to do!!


it is a little tall right now but I hope to lower the ride hight 1-2". but we will see

yeah I had to do something with the rear axle of the willys, so I thought why not make adjustable jack stands out of it!

 

[53 willys]

well here is the latest progress, we are done with the front and rear crossmembers and they took a ton of fab work! but I think they turn out pretty beefy.

 

[53 willys]

Here is where we notched the uni-body to get the shocks were we wanted them, and also the tube frame to beef up were we cut out.
