Well, not really, but close

Project Jeep Completion

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 course I had to chase down a few small leaks. Note to self: AN fittings seal so much better than standard double-flare. Not a single AN fitting was leaking, but I had several double-flare fittings that needed to be monkeyed with. Now I need to wait for the tranny dipstick to get here and head to the local NAPA to find a couple radiator hoses that will mate my '69 Camaro radiator to my LS1 V-8. Then I should be about ready to start it up.



AA Chain Clutch Controller

Last week or so I had completed the brakelines on the flatrod. I put the body back on so I could locate and mount the Advance Adapters chain clutch linkage and mark where a couple body mounts will go. Then I pulled the body back off. Today the brake pedal showed up so I can bleed the brakes and check for leaks. Then the body goes back on for good. And I can get started on the wiring, seats, gas tank, and windshield frame.

Two projects at once is a killer but it'll be awesome when they are done.
