| (11/21/07) I have been able to get out to the garage for only an hour here and
an hour there, but I have been able to complete the rear of the Jeep to make it appear more like a CJ and also
get some protection and security in the license plate area.

| I had seen a picture in a magazine or somewhere of a TJ license plate bracket
used on a Wrangler body. So I figured, what the heck, order one up and see what we can do with it. It turned out
to fit perfectly and without a whole lot of modifications, I was able to get it in place and now I have a
place to mount the license plate. With the lights having the white light underneath, we don't have to worry about
any DMV issues with lighting up the license plate.

| I had gotten a license plate from my Mom, so I stuck it on there for good measure
to see how she fit. Everything looked good, so I moved onto the body mounts, as I needed to get the body mounted
on the frame to start working on the defroster. I had to ream out the body mounts, as they were CJ mounts and I
was putting YJ mounts in there. After that, I ordered up a set of rear marker lights for the CJ and then had
to leave for a couple days for work.

| (12/01/07) I finally got around to putting up some pictures of what has been
going on with the project. It is not that I am too lazy to do this; I am just so busy these days. I snuck out
again for an hour or 2 and got to play with the newest toy, that of a die grinder. It is pretty powerful and
works very well. I put a new filter on the compressor as well to help filter out some more water/dirt, so
hopefully that will allow this tool to have a long, fruitful life.

I welded on the body mounts on the passenger side after trimming and cutting them
to fit just where I wanted them. The driver side still needs to be done, but the passenger side looks good
so far.
I cut 2 holes for the rear marker lights as well and with some stainless hardware, put them in place. It is
starting to resemble a CJ a bit...

I finally turned the Jeep around and prepared it for the driver side body mounts.
I had to cut and trim this one as well to see about fitment issues. It looked good, so I called it a day and
went inside. We have some demo to do in the basement, so I won't be outside for a bit, but so far so good on the
Jeep. I am much further along this year with it then I have been in years past.
It is like they say, when you have time, you don't have the money and when you have the money, you don't have the
time.
