@Eric. It takes up the whole roof. There is actually a little overhang on the back (by about an inch)

@GPRtech. If I sent you the dimensions, how much would it cost me?

Since Sunday I have blacked out my hood with plastidip, fabbed a hi-lift mount for the rack, mounted my halon fire bottle and today installed my TW front double cardan shaft and rebuilt the rear shaft with neapco joint and new rotoflex. I am glad that's over, the center socket was a pita to remove. Tonight my box of tie rod ends arrived. Happy valentines day to me lol.

Green, I've got no idea. I'm not able to do this right now anyway, I'm still working on getting my Disco together. It's just something I would consider for myself later on.

I have to ask why is it that your using a halon bottle? there are many other more effective and safer fire chemicals available. I have a lot of experience using halon and i can tell you it is some nasty stuff. You should look into using either a solid style or foam type although most fire foams are corrosive to aluminum. If i was you I would go with CF3BR as it is much more effective gas type and much less toxic.

It actually is Halon 1301, which is cf3br. I probably shoułd have clarified.

@honda50r

Sorry like I said I tend to over simplify things sometimes. I did a little research and it's called Biarritz Blue Metallic the code is 965. It's a very deep metallic. I just hope to have a paint job soon so it always looks as good as It does wet lol.

Had some fun at the pull-a-part. Got a parking brake, jump seat belt, fuel door, lug nuts & some random parts & pieces for $21. Going to replace the parking brake this weekend.
