Thanks Lou. This was taken in March 2006 about two years ago it has come a long way.

Weather warmed up a bit today but not to much to really mess up the roads, so i loaded up the car and brought it into the shop for them to pinpoint the oil leaks. I will pick it back up early next week drop the engine and haul it back to them to fix hopefully I will have it back by Spring.

Notice the nice salt spray on my Jeep.

Here are a few shots of the shop surrounded by the thoroughbreds.

See all of you that plan on joining me tonight on the late night drinking thread. Im off to pickup more Surley Benders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

For those who want to know, I took it for a spin out of the driveway and back onto the dolly, it just felt nice to drive it a few hundred feet and the engine sounded soooo good.......

I hope when they see the car they will get how much work you put into making that animal. This should be a real priority for them. I'm glad to see you are moving in the right direction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I decided to remove the engine this morning, i stripped it down to the short block, loaded it into the back of the Cherokee, and dropped it off at the shop.
They said they will get right on it.
It took me about 3 hours to remove and strip down the engine so all and all it really wasn't so bad. I am sure it will take a little longer going back in because i will have to freshen up and re-clean all of the parts again.
I cant wait, Spring is in the Wintery air.

I gave them some Benders to try when i brought the car in for them to look at last week. They really like them...it's their new favorite. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Nice car Chappy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shocked[1].gif)

It looks so rare, sitting amongst the tail draggers ... but does 'fit in'.

It's sort of akin to when I pull up to a custom cycle show riding a restored little Honda mini-Trail.
$100k+ machines sitting around and everybody starts congregating around it and reminiscing back to when they had one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biker.gif)

I talked to the shop today, they are busy getting it back together. They found a small chunk of metal in the sump screen so thought it best to tear it all the way down and take a look. I dont know where this metal is coming from but i hope there is no more surprise chunks still hiding.
They said it shouldn't be to long before it's all done.

I replaced the braided SS fuel lines i had running through the tunnel with Chris's Solid SS lines, I always have a hard time with the hose connections from the lines to the tank. I am considering doing those connections over with the hoses attaching to a coupler instead of going from the lines to the tank. It seems this would make things much easier to get to.
What have you guys done.

Hey Chap,
If you remember I put AN fittings on the tank and ran short loops to the tunel lines. Come on over to look if you like.

Maybe I should of used the blue push on fitting hose as it is more bendable than the SS stuff.

I have both, and at one time had the push on fitting blue stuff running down the tunnel.

The SS stuff is so damn stiff when the hose is that short.

I brazed 6AN fittings on my tanks tube fittings.
