Congrats on getting it running Leon, it must feel good to cross that milestone.

Thanks Dale, I wasn't sure I could figure all of that stuff out, but I wasn't going to let it get the best of me...:lol:

It sounds like you're really gaining some ground on it Leon!

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

Yea, the guys from Grinnell came down yesterday and helped me set the front clip back on it. I didn't get too much done today and I have to go to Car Country in the morning and get some stuff.... If I can get the tune done in the next few days I will be in good shape. Then I can take it to the muffler shop and then the alignment shop.

What,no pic of it with the front clip back on ? Just kidding ,great progress.

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

You have been quite the multi tasked lately. Making great headway Leon

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

I guess I didn't think that was exciting enough for a picture..:lol:.. Thanks.

Thanks Dale, my wife says I'm a workaholic...:lol:

Going fast! It is always a good feeling to get one running...kinda like bringing it to life.

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

I sure was glad to hear it fire up even if it was only for three seconds....:)

I went to the salvage yard yesterday and picked up a couple of things. The electric fans are off of a 2002 Toyota Camry (I can't verify this) and they fit the '67-'72 radiator to a "T". I also blasted and painted the auxiliary battery box and installed it.

That's really nice Leon!

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

Thanks Ryan. I hope they do the job. They seemed to move a lot of air when I tested them....

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

Leon, on that Jeep dual fan setup, any idea which fan is the primary and which is secondary?

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

Hi Bob,

No I don't. I thought about just running them both at the same time.....

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

Fans look like a nice fit. Did you go in looking for this set up, or did you just bring in a tape measure?

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

nice ride...

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

I just measured my radiator and went looking. This setup was just laying in the back of the jeep so I measured it and it was exact to my measurements. They priced it at $35 so I took it home.

Thanks!

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

I have bought quite a few dual fan setups from the auto wrecker, nice price. Here would be closer to $80 for the same.

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

The lady at the salvage yard told me that it was $25 for a single fan with no relays, $35 for a single fan with relays or a dual fan with no relays, and $65 for a dual fan with relays....

More stuff done on the Panel.

Got a temporary ECM/PCM tuned so I could get the truck running for more than 3 seconds, OBD2 port is in and all under dash connections are finished up. Throttle cable is done, new windshield is installed, & door panels on. I still have a short punch list but I should get it finished up this week.

I actually took it out for the first drive yesterday (only a mile) It wouldn't shift and the only gears I had were first and reverse so back to the shop for trouble shooting today. Once I re-installed the wiring from the transmission to computer that I had removed, everything works great...:lol:... Not sure why I removed them, the instructions clearly state not to.

I take it Tuesday to get the exhaust installed, then on to the alignment shop. Won't be long now....:)

Gotta be a great feeling to see light at the end of the tunnel...

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

Yup, This has sure been a new experience for this "Old School" builder, that's for sure.....:)

Exhaust is done and it sounds pretty sweet. Hopefully off to the alignment shop in the next couple of days.

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

Leon, what mufflers did you use?

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday
 

They are Flowmaster knockoffs but they are a little longer which tones it down a little more than the Flowmaster 40's....
