I started/purchased pieces in August of 2016 and almost complete in June 2018. It's been a long road, can't wait to drive it. It's a M38 Frankenjeep, 12 volt, and civvy lights to ba able to drive it on the road. Awaiting a replacement carburetor, then it's down the road I go.

Thanks Wes...I think they are the chrome CJ lights. I took the lens ring off, sandblasted them, and painted green. I also put LED reear lights for the road.
