It's getting down to the little knick-knacks on not only my never-ending Juggy saga, but my flatrod too. Both are coming together nicely. Yesterday I finished the brakelines on the Juggy and started bleeding them. Of...

It's day three and the fire is still burning. For the past few days and nights the poor firefighters have been chasing this thing all over the mountain across the valley from my house. Yesterday they unloaded on it with...

Runnin' Lines

Jeep Plumbing
11246079 Posted November 12 2008 06:02 PM by Jp Editor

Over the past few days I've found time to plumb the flatfender hot rod. I took the body off for easy access. I tried to hide most of the lines in the frame where I could, which turned out to be a pain in my butt.

Flattie 2.0?
10756999 Posted November 4 2008 09:18 AM by Jp Tech Editor

The 3.5L Shortstar in my flattie makes 260hp and 260 lb-ft. That's good, but more is better. Maybe it's time to redo the drivetrain?
