Excellent!

I'm south of Houston, just north of the Galveston causeway in Bayou Vista.

I'd love to see this thing when it's finished!

Us Houston area guys need to get together for a beach or lake meet...

Looking forward to more progress!

I'd sure like to look under the hood since that is the swap I'm doing on my restoration. Looks nice.

Hey Texasagg - I am curious what the folks at Novak have planned for your fuel tank/pump. I am about to start my own 5.3 swap and can't decide which way to go. I would like to keep the stock location of the tank so I can mount my spare tire where it belongs. But it seems that a majority of the members over at IFSJA that have completed the 5.3 swap recommend switching to the GM tank and fuel pump. I haven't yet come across anyone with a GM tank mounted in the stock coffin or the stock location.

Wheezy, I don't believe they swapped the tank but I honestly don't know. Eric at Novak is a good guy to deal with. Give him a call I'm sure he could help you with the information.

Nice build, that's going to be a great jeep when it's done. I made a trip down to Katy a few years ago, nice place.

When you get it delivered and running, you need to show it to those of us who are local. I'd drive over for a "welcome to Katy" party for the Wag

Definitely will. When it gets here plans are to paint and then redo the interior.

I have been on the phone with Dave at Novak for a few moths on and off...today he told me that the Wagoneers they had in their shop were gone.
