I'm sure it was a great feeling firing it up at last! 84 D150 440/727 79 /6 swb D150 1964 A100 window van. Just because it has spark plug tubes doesn't mean it's a Hemi. If ya haven't been there, ya just wouldn't understand.

I don't know if its lots of patience that I have, or that I just enjoy the designing and building process that makes it appear that I have lots of patience!

One is for the manual over-ride of the thermostatically controlled engine cooling fan, and the other is the same thing except its for the trans cooler fan. I have to wait on installing the seats and safety belts, because I first have to fabricate floor mounts for the lap belts. The seats and belts will be installed by Wednesday. Next weekend, I'll prime and paint the new fuse panel access door. Gone to the dark side with an LS3 powered '57 Chevy 210

I'll fab a mounting bracket that will pick up two of the radiator mounting bolts. I'm going to mount the fire extinguisher on the floor, alongside the driver's seat. The first set of clamps I bought for it were a little too big. I've got a pair of smaller clamps on the way. Gone to the dark side with an LS3 powered '57 Chevy 210

I made a mounting bracket, put together a -12AN drainback hose, and did the reservoir can swap on the power steering pump. The only thing left is to buy a 45 degree hose end fitting tomorrow, and install it on the return hose coming from the hydroboost. Gone to the dark side with an LS3 powered '57 Chevy 210

Here is what I have left to do on the Jeep, to make it drivable. 1. REAR AXLE: a: Set the pinion angle on the rear axle b: Tack weld spring perches and lower shock mounts c: Get rear axle out, finish weld and paint it d: Install rear axle 2. Make brake lines that go from frame rail to master cylinder 3. Fill & bleed power steering/hydroboost system 4. Bleed brake lines. Instead of the usual two man brake bleeding operation, for this project I decided to purchase a Motive Products Power Bleeder. Gone to the dark side with an LS3 powered '57 Chevy 210

Just play it on a continuous loop in the shop and you should be able to get all that stuff done pretty quickly.
