It will be the real Delorean deal then gm! Once you polish it they say its a daily thing keeping it that way.



I hear ya 56', she's been initiated. I will have to find an indoor offroad...

OK it had to happen... I took peeJ out for the spring. I waited till the sun had been shining for a few days. No standing water in site. Took her out on the mowed cleaned lawn. As I was bringing it...

Hahahah! Great stuff gm. I love it, "Don't be a Herbie"!

Looks great 56', you are doing well and making excellent progress. The body tub is very close to the transfer case. The rubber body mounts should be just enough lift to clear the transfer case by a...

Like we discussed back a few posts 56', I think that number range is .667 to .680. Give Herm a call to verify. This number sets the end play of the unit. It needs about .010". A better way than stick...

There are all kinds of Jeeps running around in every stage of repair or restore you could imagine. I think they all contain a common thread, Lots of Fun! The most important thing you could do with...

I agree TJ, well said gm.

56', like you said your "putting Flossy to work". That floor will work just fine and it ill probably always have something sitting on it!

A new harness is always a good way to go Todd! You know exactly what you have after that install.

I saw that yesterday TJ. I am not sure what happens there. Every now and then its off the map. It happens every time someone brings up the G.O.A.T. story.

And there it is!!!! If you build it TJ, they will come.

I m still laughing at those "Rods" gm!

It sounds like you have it now Steve. Watch that back man! I know you didn't want to crawl under there again.

The original floor wasn't the smoothest thing 56'. I would say gm's method will get you close enough.

Definitely a find on the tailgate. No rust on a scripted tailgate is a rare find indeed.

Definitely got the "approach angle" on the intercooler wrong! Hahaha, maybe the idea was it will be running with the front wheels way off the ground most of the time.

When your shifting it without the transfer case and drive gear on the main shaft, it will move around. You can take a metal strap and put it across two bolt holes and over the edge of the bearing to...

Steve, it looks like you have graduated to T90 trans technician! I always assemble them completely and run them through the gears a few times on the bench. The trans should shift with minimal effort...

Wow that is a great story. I did see the "unicorn" at the Jeep fest. One of a kind is for sure! I remember during that time my Dad bringing home various prototypes of the Jeeps. He was always testing...

I think a lot of "Bubba's" have a common "plumbing approach" to the electrical system. There's a wire... I'll just tap in there with this piece of wire I cut out over here... and hook up this new...

Here it is... I am sure I saw TJ laying under this with a camera. I wonder what hes up to next.... ...

How true... Only Larry can tell the story of the G.O.A.T.! The best part of the GOAT story, is how Larry, regardless of the repulsion from the duty at hand, persevered! That's why they made him...

Nice work Mike! It is coming along really well. I love the 79 year old part. I like to think these old Jeeps are here to remind us from where we came.

The oil can is priceless. I have a couple of...

I don't think you have a neutral gear TJ! I foresee more projects in your future. Perhaps a Willys Gasser with a few thousand horsepower?

I love the look of that thing TJ! Gonna be hard to part with that one.

Take some pictures Steve. Why it failed to me is the most important part of a good mechanics job. I am wondering if we cant figure it out from Lots of pics. It is tough to tell from your description....

First as gm said, thank you very much for your service!

Love the sleuthing part. I think you will be surprised at how much you can do to a vintage Jeep. I cant think of any parts you cant find...
