The other thread was a little too long and a little too old. 
So this is where you can keep up and give great input and advice so we can all get this project out on the trail as soon as humanly possible. 
So today I had some time and motivation to get out into the shop. Here is what was accomplished.
Bend up some new taller hoops. These will give me more room to grow. They'll also allow my new bling Ballistic Fab shock tabs to angle down giving tons of clearance to the shocks. I also have some BF lower shock mounts which weld to the c's. They're an inch or so higher than my current mounts.
The Pro-Tools notcher. Super bad. Now I keep my retarded cut-off wheel notches out of the build.
Way better notch than I could ever do.
Pretty high. Looks like I'll have to have a yard sale to get rid of the items that used to be there.
Hugh hoops! It'll all make sense when you see the other side. I'm clearing my FJ60 steering box over there.
Tabs and shock in. Lookin' good.
Both sides. It's as done as it's ever been!
:
And this is where I left off. I cut the engine brace shorter than I wanted to. I'm a total newb at this bending stuff. So I'll have to wait until Monday at the earliest to pick up some more 1.5".
But I do have about 30' of 1.75" laying around. We'll see what the motivation level is like tomorrow. Maybe I'll start some bumpers!

My 74 (at one time) had the 3 tanks.
