So I noticed while Flossy was on jack stands the left rear tire and a decent clunk when I shook it. So I popped of the dust cover, which has the usual Flossy rust! And pulled out the cotter pin and...

I got a bunch of stuff ordered for the pedals today. I even got pedal return springs, I've never had that luxury so I'm anxious to see how it feels.

Also, in the mail today was a fresh license...

Both pedals are sloppy, mostly the brake. The clutch can be tightened with the bolt and be good. But the frame bracket is worn, the cross shaft has ⅛" grooves worn in it, and is as straight as a back...

Thank you guys! I wasn't sure if it was something that should be adjusted periodically, as part of routine maintenance. But that's one less thing on my list of things to do. I just didn't want to...

I could be entirely wrong, but if I remember correctly. When I had the clutch inspection plate off the bellhousing, there are adjustments on the pressure plate? If so, what do I adjust and what spec...

I hadn't planned on spending the money right now, but I reckon it will be worth it. It was always annoying when I stomped on the brakes and feel the pedal move side to side. And now is the time to...

Hearing some radio chatter as you walk by an old military jeep would be so cool.

I talked to a gentleman with an MB who made a replica machine gun water cannon. When people walk by and you soak...

Thank you! I'll get it pulled apart and drill it out.

Tonight I seamsealed all the cracks/seams on the body. So let that dry and I can prime it soon. If you need proof that Flossys getting close to being done, today I accomplished multiple things...

I think ill try drilling it for now. and see what it does. What do you think, maybe 1/8 inch?

Wow! Outstanding Jeep, and you are wasting no time getting it dialed in. Your posting faster than I can read to keep up. That M38 looks like it had an amazing restoration, it's ready for the...

Thanks guys, I'll try bending it to fit, and welding it.

Saturday I finished cutting of the last old shock mounts. And started making a rear bumber. I got some c channel and have it mostly ready...

Here's a picture of mine. I got it with my jeep, It's an old Walmart cheapo. 650 CCA and it has never failed me. I even have a winch and have pulled other jeeps and trees, putting quite alot of...

Okay I was even wondering if I should drill a hole in the thermostat. Do you think I should pull it off and do so?

Also quick question, I'm working on the front shock mounts and I removed one and...

The original bushings on flossy were ¼ inch. They must have changed from flat fenders?

Yesterday I installed a thermostat, there wasn't even one in it (not uncommon) maybe that's way it took...

I was already planning on making my own body mount bushings, since the tubing i used in place of hat channels may not be the same thickness as original. But i'll probably reshape the tunnel alittle...

See, the difference between PeeJ and Flossy, is that Flossy and I aim towards the dirty areas. Back before I had the crazy idea to tear it apart, so it still ran. If there was a soft muddy spot in...

Geez, your one step away from running through the mud pit now!!! Ateast PeeJs out and running good for another season. Even with a little mud she still looks pretty!

So your planning a big...

Alright, just got off the phone with Herm. So he said its likely the collar gears are worn and thats causing it to not work. I told him i was missing the synchro, and that really didnt concern him,...

So here's pics of the front of the toolbox repaired. It still needs some welding and then cleanup. I also boxed in the angle iron support under the bed floor where it bolts to the frame. And made a...

Okay, back to work on the overdrive. I had put the stock gear back in it before, so I was able to drive it. Then got busy and never worked on the overdrive since. But now that the body is getting...

Today, maybe since the metal cooled down more? But now it's much better, before if I pushed on the top it would pop and stay down. Then upon applying pressure to the bottom it would pop and stay up....

Yea, if Gm and Larry keep it up they'll have the youngster breaking out Merriam Websters Big Book of Words to understand their posts! Jokes aside, keep it up guys, a little willys poetry keeps life...

Now yesterday there was almost 4,000 people online. You folks have the knowledge, It attracts those of us that don't. I think alot of people (myself included) have gotten lots of well needed help...

Today I tried heating the high spot on the floor with map gas, then quenched with a wet rag. I did it a few times, and it's better but not perfect. But I did get it better, it's probably completely...
