look at all that blue!

these engines are very tough. if I was contemplating a whole new engine, I'd be running this one till it dies (or gets horrifically worse) and then get the new engine.

the intro is just the best rest of the song is ok.

see, this is why I want one of everything. that way I can provide pics and measurements and whatever. I just don't have a tow mirror door yet.

bump

have you asked in Tech yet? I'm sure someone can snag a pic from the parts manual or something.

I built that same B-17 kit using that same diorama page as my inspiration. I even embedded some plastic from the tail into my left thumb because I didn't really know what I was doing with an exacto and candle. still in my thumb today. I should have that model in a box somewhere. can't imagine I would have pitched it.

a rotted windshield frame is certainly a bummer. just make sure they understand that MJ roofs and floors are different than XJ.

nice!

another vote for 22s. by far the most fun!

people suck.

I've shot a lot of different firearms, but revolvers have always been my favorites.

search youtube for dash repair. I'm betting there are in-car methods for fixing that. (not betting a whole lot though. lol.)

can you do a quick writeup about the latches for the DIY? we need to get the word out about how straight forward it is to refresh them.

I think the entire dash needs to be pulled

a lesser owner might junked it over a blown transmission. feels good to be able to fix things yourself, doesn't it. almost seems like a lost art these days.

"preventative maintenance" takes on a whole new meaning when the car is super old. things you'd never think of with a new car.

lost count as to how many people I've talk to that lost an automatic from a rusty trans cooler line blowing apart on a drive.

can you put an electric space heater in the cab overnight? only other product I'm aware of that does a similar job is Chassis Saver.

let there be light!!! do you know for sure that the house's feed isn't sufficient? last couple times I upgraded a house for more power, the line running to the house was rated for plenty and only the box needed the upgrade.

I would wait if possible. contrary to what the temp in florida was last night, spring is coming. apparently that stuff is very temp sensitive.

the link in my signature has a link with the instructions for proper bleeding. MJ rear brakes have a different procedure than most anything else out there. also be sure to get your baby into the registry so you'll have your build sheet, birthday and selling dealership.

back in my youth I made a lot of them. I do believe I still have a few boxes of models I never got around to.
