Looks good, but now you should do the front bumper too.

I got a CB radio for free from a buddy yesterday so I might install that today in the area where the useless tape player currently resides. Of course, it's going to be hotter than he** outside, so perhaps I'll wait on that. I still have to buy an antenna anyways.

Made a cheap little cover for the opening where the tape player was. (or, still is, but it's coming out)

Next I need to actually remove the tape deck and install the CB so I can figure out where I need to make the cutout in this face for the CB. Still a lot of work to go. I had this 12" x 12" piece of ABS I bought from Circuit City about a decade ago for some project that I never got around to, and I've been carting it around with me ever since. Thankfully I'm finally starting to find uses for it!

I changed the balljoints and cv axle on the drivers side... Only to find out that my blazer decided it wanted a new alternator also.

On the Wife's Jimmy I installed the Pitman Arm, Idler Arm, Stabilizer Bushings, Upper Control Arms, Upper Ball Joints and now I'm tired. All Moog Parts so lets hope they last.

Checked the fluid levels in the Jimmy. Tested the A/C system, verified that it works, just that it is low on R12. Since they do not have that stuff for sale in Colorado, I'm going to use Freeze 12. Guess what? They don't sell that stuff here either. So, I have to go online and order some.

On the other hand, I got the power window on the drivers door of the 85 Chrysler to work.
