Hey Shadow.  What year is that Mustang?  That Mustang looks pretty sharp.

So I got a little jeep time in tonight, with some new parts from Walcks and a spot welder from Princess auto. the spot welder is the same one you can find at Harbour Freight, the setup instructions are a little vague but was able to fill in the blanks, I tested it on some pieces and tested the welds with great success, so away I go and start on the floor riser.

That exhaust won't last long off the pavement if it is still hanging that low when everything is buttoned up.
 Just thinking out loud.

Is that a piece of flex pipe in the exhaust?

Maybe the hangers are not holding it up yet?

Don't like stereotyping, but you guys from the "great white north" sure do top notch jeep rebuilding! Joe almost from the "great white north"

A Canadian friend of mine told me once that they have to find something to stay busy with in the winter.  

Great job on the build!
