This morning I rearranged the back yard a little to have a place to put the parts Jeeps I bought. Mike F from the page here has been trying to help me out by searching for a trailer and offering his time so I can bring them home. He is having no luck either. Unfortunately not having my own trailer is making it difficult getting them from the sellers house to mine. |

As sad as it is, I pushed my 48 in to the back corner of the garage to make room for the latest stray that followed me home (not a CJ).

So you get the BS there as well. The newscasters were all running around with doom and gloom forecasts. I got 1/2" of snow.

Not very exciting....but I drove mine a bit yesterday. I was rearranging the shop to make room for the truck. I want to get the pickup under cover in prep for the coming snopocalypse that is being hyped to near hysteria here in New England. Anyway.....couple miles got the oils moving. Then back to slumber.

I see January’s post is titled “What did you do with your jeep today?” rather than what did you do to your jeep. Maybe it’s just a semantical difference. Anyway, tonight I picked up the front brakes from a small shop that was able to re-arch them to match the drums. It’s the same place that rebuilt my clutch disc and they are about a mile from where I live. It was only $10!
Turned out to be a good day. I have been waiting 18 years for the shoes to seat in! They were only contacting the drum on 1/3 of the shoe at most.

Finished all the port holes in my Header Flange (photos in my Project thread) and I made a neat little PITA round flange that will get welded on the end of the 1.75" to 2.25" 2 into 1 collector to attach the tailpipe. I made a mistake on it right towards the end of the process and ended up with the Weld channel on the outside instead of the inside. SO I guess I have to make a pretty weld as it will now show.

Couple days ago I bought 2 parts Jeeps for the one I have now. When I can coordinate with some people they will be moved to my house. The girlfriend says she loves me but we'll see when there are 2 more Jeeps here

Yesterday afternoon I took my oldest grand daughter out for a driving lesson. Her dad had her driving the suburban with an automatic and she did ok. I brought "Eeyore" the '64 CJ5 for her to drive. She was ready to jump in behind the wheel. I opened the hood and we had a lesson on what was in there. She did well driving and we will go again. These kids sure grow up quickly. I hope she will develop a love for Jeeps.

I been stuck in "How to make a Drill Jig" for my header flange. Since I want to be able to make more then one copy I need away to accurately reproduce them. A drill jig to locate the holes in exactly the correct place is going to be required. I love making things that can't be checked for fit until they are finished. Like brake lines LOL. Or drill jigs for something you can't accurately measure. I'm closing in on it Got most the holes in the right place either one of three to go depending on if I go with a flip over design. Do one side then flip it over to do the other. That worked real well for the drill jig that I used when I repaired the Stud holes for the manifolds. |

I replaced my center console ammo box with a smaller one. It has been in the mid 50's and sunny this weekend so I washed it yesterday.

Got the heater and switch mounted. Then it got dark. I really need to build something for a shop.
  The Jeep (halfway) had a heater in it before. It was removed by someone in the past. So the holes were all there. The PO had covered them with what turned out to be sheet rubber glued to the firewall. It peeled right off. It still took a lot of trial and error to get the bolts to line up. Next chance I get I’ll plumb and wire it. Then on to the next little project. Probably the Ross box.

My grandpa bought this 46 cj2a back in 52 or 53 something like that. He drove it up until he died about 30-40 years ago. The details are kind of scarce. It had been sitting in the AZ desert for the last 3 decades. My brother finally got a hold of it and here we are rebuilding it. Awesome project. It's running and driving. We completely rebuilt the motor, new valves, new pistons, etc. Fired right up once we got the distributor in the correct position. Hell of a feeling. I'd say about its 80% complete now. We lack installing the wiring harness, lights, seats, couple things here and there. Next big hurdle is getting it registered and plated! Some before and after pics below. Still cant figure out why it rotates some of the pics when I upload them!

I just sent off my carb to ScoutPilot to work on. Hopefully it won't take major money to fix it. The total investment keeps going up.
