    Armadillo eggs are some of my favorites off the smoker. It depends on the jalapeños that you use, if you need the milk or not. It would be a fair bet that JB's might require the whole carton.

    And a quart of ice cream to cool everything off. "Come on ice cream".

    Getting the body panels straight isn't glamorous work, but those are the first things people notice and they set the stage for the rest of the work of art.

    That fits in there just right! What a contrast, a compound turbo tucked up against a '56 firewall.

    OK - I'll ask the question... Just what are compound turbos"

    Turbo 1 feeding turbo 2?

    That is correct Chief. The output of a smaller turbo #1 spools a larger turbo #2. The benefit is better low end torque, mid range, and high end performance. There is a reduction in turbo lag, with the smaller turbo pushing air to the larger unit.

    Compound turbo's are definitely a modern hot rod diesel thing. Looks right at home in that '56 in a Mad Max sort of way!

    Compound Turbo Syndrome

    Now, do we get to see the spiked hair, leather vest, multi-piercings and tattoos?

    (I'm joking...). Jeep guys would never do something like that, would we?

    More of the non-glamorous side of this project...

    Give me a few days and I will share the results of grinding, welding, cutting, filing, measuring, measuring again, sipping bourbon, more welding, etc etc......

    Late nights are the best, through the week. Radio off and in the ‘zone’.

    About ready to put the welder up for a few YEARS!!
