FYI people this project is not dead.
My in laws are getting ready to leave (hopefully another day or two) for the summer with there trailer and I will then get my driveway back.
All that needs to be done now is some buttoning up and it will be ready to go.
Its a good thing I haven't been able to work on it as I picked up a new project and getting close to wrapping it up.
Picked up a 98 Wrangler with some frame rust and been having a fun time working on it.
Friend is coming by today to weld on some patches.

I also seem to be missing one of my cabinet tops. Not sure where it went.

Well where has the time gone. Many things have changed for one in laws have moved out. House to ourselves, garage is mine again, and no more fighting for a parking spot.
I finally dragged the pup out where it has been covered and sitting now for a good year not being touched. Inside is still the way I left it but as I kinda new it was coming the top has delaminated. So roof job here I come.

Plan to tear it off and just do a cover job of something. Like flexseal, grizzly grip or whatever is the cheapest I can get my hands on.
 
I've been following this thread for a while now and am impressed with your progress. I have an 01 Mesa that I plan to strip down to the frame and completely rebuild. It's currently usable but there are a bunch of small issues that I want to adress in the near future. I do have a couple questions for you, you may have answered them in your posts and I just missed them.
1) You mentioned that you finally got the correct thickness flooring, what is the correct thickness?
2) What thickness did you (your father-in-law) use for the cabinets?

Thanks

I think it is 3/4" obs for the floor if I remember correctly but if you can wait a little longer I plan to open it up his weekend and will get both the floor and cabinets. Fyi my cabinet was completely redone so the new wood is way thicker then the cardboard material that was there before.
