Sunday was the main "Drag day" and I along with another "rookie" worked the burn-out boxes + scanned for vehicles leaking anything. Later I took on an additional role as the "starter" (controlled...

Finally installed the old windshield in the new frame. Only took about half gallon (sarcastic) of liquid soap! Far more difficult than I anticipated. Other than that, the frame itself fits great....

Stopped last evening on the drive home and ordered an antique license for the Jeep. At least now I won't have to look over my shoulder during test drives. Windshield frame has been put on back...

Been toping off fluids on the Jeep before starting any major test driving. I'm looking for info on the Dana 44 rear axle regarding the grease fittings designed to apply lubrication to the rear wheel...

"No radio needed with the whine of the 134",,,,,, You're correct! With 5.38 gears, 30 mph it sounds like a weedeater!
