Well, last weekend I did not put out an update, so, this weekend you get two for the price of one. First last weekend. We did actually bolt some stuff back onto the Jeep. But then we removed a bunch of stuff so that we can paint the engine. Who is the we, well if you look at any of the other projects on this web site you will see that during the Winter up here in the North it get brutal outside so, there are a bunch of us that get together in my nice warm garage an play with cars on Saturday morning and talk about what we are going to due once the weather warms back up. First up meet some of the Car Nuts

	Here you have from left to right Lenny Ball, Thomas Deyle, and Jack Dennis. Both Jack and Tom are also crew members on the dragster. They each have their own cars that they race. Lenny has a gasser, Thomas has an Anglia that will be ready for this seasons gasser Series. Jack has a Corvette and is building a Henry J
	We have a good time and there are others that attend, You are welcome. Generally we meet Saturday mornings from 9 to noon
First up are the parts we put back on.
	Well, I could not leave this looking like this, so into the sand blaster, and then a little powder coat
Stick it back up into the Jeep with the refinished transfer case. For more information on that click here,
	Ok, put it all up and forgot to put the little metal plate that goes under the transmission mount in. Had to unbolt the skid plate and lower it because the mount is an aftermarket piece and of course does not line up with the holes in the plate. Moved the skid plate back an 1/8 inch, unscrewed the mount bolts, inserted the little plate and bolted everything back up
Now for the few parts that were removed. I truly believe we are getting close to the point where we will not be removing any more parts. The intake will be sand blasted and I have some powder coat samples on the way to color match to AMC metical blue.
Batery tray and Jack bracket were removed for refinishing.
	Heater was removed for heater core replacement and fan motor upgrade
Alternator and Power Steering pump was removed
Cap, and plug wires were removed
	So here we are.
