Build Thread The '80 FrankenJeep frame off reassembly

That's pretty funny, I don't know how you even did it. And I see you still have the crappy horse shoe clip on your coil. You need to lose it.

To much Dark Hollow and the devil made him do it. Is that a Guinness of some type ? Looks interesting

Belizean -

Here’s the info on the label. It’s a barrel aged stout. VERY tasty. The reserve editions are usually only 800 bottles. My neighbor gives me one on occasion...... he goes up to the brewery right often.

And I haven’t opened it yet - so there.......

i had a neighbor who would drink a couple of Guinness and I would join in once in a while. The Dark Hollow looks very interesting I bet it has massive flavor compared to a Guinness. :drool:

Progress was slow today - my neighbor and I built a deck down the street and today was final details and cleanup - didn't hit the garage till about 3:00. Was able to get the pulleys in place, starter, spark plugs, fan, belts (yep - decided to save the one around the steering shaft), radiator, fuel pump and filter, and connections to the starter. Got darked on before I got to the battery and tray. And, yes - we have electricity in the garage LOL, but I hate working with the door closed, and the mosquitoes are horrible around dusk...... so dusk is time to clean up and go inside..... I'm a wuss.

After the timing cover fiasco I’m pretty confident I have fixed the water leak. I’m almost back to where I was 2 months ago.... at one point the other day all I had under the hood was ignition module, brake booster and M/C, and the block with rotating assembly. That was a depressing sight LOL....... But at least I’m back to piddly stuff to do again.

On a side note - for the little while the Jeep sat outside before we pushed her back up to the garage, one of my A-hole neighbors down the street called the county and complained that I had a non tagged and inspected vehicle in my driveway. So a week after I got it back inside, I got a letter from the county zoning office telling me I was in violation of county code blah blah blah and I had 10 days to fix it...... Some people just can’t mind their own business..... And this reminds me of the first Rambo movie (Gert’s too young to remember this one LOL) “But she drew first blood”....... HAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, this one down the street has now stirred the puddin. My wife is a mucher better person than I - she always takes the high road. I on the other hand am more than willing to roll around in the mud if given the chance. This game is now afoot!! [emoji6]

Well - this is going much differently than the last fillup. Last time it would run out of the radiator into the block pretty quickly - this time a gallon filled the radiator, and now you can hear very slow gurgling as it works it’s way into the block proper like. And thankfully, no water coming out of the oil pan LOL

You think he was in dippers yet ? Or just a rug rat crumb cruncher. . Yeah I'm thinking you deserve a double Dark Hollow for getting that far already.

 

[shum8]

Now then - since I’ll be working outside Richmond tomorrow, I won’t get anything done till Sat. However, all I have to do is add oil, spin the oil pump to prime, install distributor - then see if she’ll fire!!

Oh - and connect battery positive.... that would make things much easier

It's nice to see it all back together. You will have on the road in now time and can drive by your @$$hole neighbor and show him what you think of him.
