Random (non-Jeep) Shit You’re Working On....

That is so cool!! I love those things!!! (y)
Thanks Eddie, it’s been a long time coming and a great project with my father. Makes your last video hit home a little closer. I’m not sure how you guys have been doing it and completely understand that you guys have been taking a break for a while to enjoy time with them.

Makes it even better is that half of this car is now my dads old one that I drove back in high school
 
The wife and kids left me alone last weekend. I got annoyed while trying to finish the green house so I used my recovery skills to get rid of my old grill and upgrade to a Treager. Don't worry I had my bulldog as a spotter.

Fortunately I have a solution to that when I get it going. There is a company that uses dual hsr42 or 45 mikuni flat slides that fit a newer Harley that will increase response and power. Now supposedly putting them on a stock mg gave them 20hp. Not sure how badly the originals were tuned but that is significant. Oh and my father is trying them… so o get to see if they are worth doing first hand. 👍
 
Making progress. Slowly but something is better than nothing.

made a mistake and didn’t bend the hinges enough for the door frame so I had to do the top in three pieces but nothing I can do now.

Are you going to counter balance the door too?

Looks good, growing up my dad had one built out of an old tank. That thing was awesome!
