Couple of things to be aware of, #1. very often these old carbs deteriorate around both of the shafts that run thru the main body housing {one for the choke, the other at the bottom} and create a...

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...
@56willys, Yes that's the shop here in central PA. As for Beaver Springs Dragway,,,,,,,35 years ago I worked there several seasons as a 2nd job to earn a few extra bucks when my wife and I first...
Dressler's Upholstery. Private family owned business however they do top notch work! For example, they have done interiors for Jay Leno! This material is what they suggested when I requested...
Picked up seats from Upholstery shop over the weekend. Turned out great.

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....
Ordered replacement windshield frame and was told it would be backordered until mid March,,,,,,,,, received an email this AM informing me it will be delivered tomorrow!
Should've clarified on the stainless welding it depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you're building a project and the metal just happens to be stainless, you can weld it with a variety of...
I never had any problems welding stainless (possibly never ran into an alloy that creates problems)??? The most sporadic success rate and disappointment experiences I've had when welding all...
They're also great for installing full size pick-up bed & cabs!
I use a small trailer for projects like that. Benefits are it can be easily moved, inside, outside, even trailered to another shop. Attached are some photos of a F350 cab I did a few years ago. ...
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...
He says, "ONE MORE JEEP IN THE FLEET NEVER HURT ANYONE" as he eases back on the couch and grabs a bag of popcorn!
Another potential project Jeep? or is it an express ticket to divorce court! Can anyone identify what this is? Military Jeep?11250
I have a Lincoln Pro Mig 140 which is a 120volt (typical 20amp outlet). It accommodates both fluxcore or solid wire. Having welded with both, I highly recommend solid wire with a shielding gas. My...
Yep! That's how it's done "correctly" right there.
Great info on the lubrication, horrible prognosis on the windshield however poor quality replacement parts seems to be par for the course on these old Jeeps. Last evening I didn't do much however...
What were the issues regarding fitment? Fame to hinge alignment or glass?
NOVAK website specifically says: Hypoid gear oil is sulphurized higher than transmission oil and can be mildly corrosive to the non-ferrous alloys used for synchros, bushings and thrust washers in...
Bit the bullet and ordered a new windshield frame and gaskets......... Ouch!
Magnets are invaluable for holding metal parts accurately for welding. It's that third hand you sometimes wish you had. I use everything from the fancy angled Lincoln magnets for joining metal at...
The gear oil I used is Walmart brand "Supertech" 85w / 140w which is a GL5 rated lubricant. Product details for this specifically state: Protects against corrosion of copper and bronze bushings.
This thing must have 20 grease fittings (and I love that)! Filled both front closed knuckle joints and the steering box with John Deere corn head grease. Both rears got topped off with 90 / 140....
Appears some of the earlier designs used a little "pop-up" valve to indicate the cavity was filled with grease. Anyway, so it sounds like mine should have a small hole vs the pop-up design. Thanks...
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...
