I agree . . I have been tempted to post . . but seems like that would be taking Millennium falcon's thread off topic. edit: Oops just noticed a new thread was started . . need to check it out. :-)

What did you use for a boot around the twin stick and overdrive shift levers? I can’t seem to find any manufacturer selling a rubber boot with 3 shift lever holes.

I used an old black leather glove. The fingers work perfectly for the levers. This link has some pictures of the process when I did it.

It’s been several years since the Jeep got its new heart... It’s still running great! I made a video for my channel that gives an overview of the build and covers some of the questions I get quite often. The starter is a just a gear drive starter for an l-head.

I am 2-1/2 minutes into this video, first with a smile on my face from the trails, then with a smile and a literal laugh during the "question" segment.
I should wait until I watch the entire video before posting, but could not help myself -> Love it Seth, so far. edit: finished the video . . wow, a good reminder of how much went into it. Absolutely amazing! (building the Jeep, but also the quality of the video. that is no small feat)

Superb video, Seth! You're a born teacher. A lot of good reasons to go the 'oil burner' route with a vintage jeep -- with guidance from your video.

If there was any information through YOUR experience with the oil filter plate/adapter. would you do anything different? was the 1" aluminum plate the right size ? I have 1.5", (maybe too thick) it was close to the sector shaft on the steering box but worked well? the engine we are using is a BEW, so maybe not the same. block bolt pattern is different I found out.
