The first break down...

On the way home today the throttle cable snapped. Time to call AAA for a lift home.

Jeep Update 6/22/2013

It's now a two seater!!

It needs some seat covers too. One of the last items on the to do on the mechanical list is replace the parking brake cable. It's on order and should be here next week. So soon the fun part starts, body work... getting it ready for a cool paint job.

Jeep Update 6/20/2013

The Jeep is off the stands and ready to roll! Here it is, the first time I started it up and drove it. This video was taken on 6/12.

I have been driving the Jeep for a few days now. The engine rebuild shop said to put 300 miles on the engine with the "break-in-oil" and then to change it. Seems to be running well. I had a new muffler installed on 6/19 so the exhaust fumes won't kill anyone. :) The old muffler was like Swiss cheese. Some funny looks come my way when I pull up next to people in the Jeep. A few comments about how cool it is or just some big smiles.

Jeep Update 6/12/2013

I'm just going to post some of the latest pictures.... things are coming along quite nice.

Jeep update 6/2/13

The "new" fenders and grill were soda blasted and primered. Starting to put the headlights and radiator back in. 

And the engine now has most of the hoses attached. 

Just need to paint the air cleaner, install the fan and fan belt.
