    Looks great guys. I really miss getting out in AZ. Hopefully I get my rigs going soon and start exploring the NE.

    Build Rutherford Clappy III and Associated Ramblings...

    Steve, that is another game changer, and I don't care how cliche' that sounds. I said after doing Lexi Jo that I would never do another project like that crawling around on my knees. What did I do? I took on another one for my buddy. Then I did the whole frame off thing on Clappy with...

    Build Rutherford Clappy III and Associated Ramblings...

    Trying to keep up with eating the elephant one bite at a time, I got the fan clutch hub and fan mounted. I had to run into town for a visit to the most expensive hardware retailer anywhere you go, Ace Hardware. I defer to them and accept the prices because they almost always have all the...

    Build Rutherford Clappy III and Associated Ramblings...

    Steve, I have put a ton of work into my shop, and let me tell you how fantastic it is to have that space. I am forever spoiled. When I moved in, it was a dimly lit mostly bare shop. I decked the walls with 1/2 OSB, added 150,000 lumens of light, and rearranged a couple times figuring out the...

    Build Rutherford Clappy III and Associated Ramblings...

    This is the upper coolant connection, and it rotates on two axis. I am sure I will get it wrong and have to break it all loose for a small tweak, so if anyone has done this before, throw me a pic of your setup. The lower connection has a small port for the heater hose return. I was advised...

    Build Rutherford Clappy III and Associated Ramblings...

    I next moved on to the mock up of the accessory drive. I have learned over the year not to loctite and torque things as I go unless I know for sure that it is the last time I will need to tweak something. This was no different. I had no idea initially how to orient the upper elbow and the...

    Build Rutherford Clappy III and Associated Ramblings...

    In what is the first post about progress on this project in a year and a half, I am back to working on Clappy. What a good feeling that is. I admit there was a point where I questioned whether I was going to ever finish this project and considered selling it as a WIP, but that ain't me. I am...

    Build Another LS swap? Really???

    I was able to find a high rated shop down in Louisville (pronounced "Loo Vull" as I have been corrected many times), and need to find the time to trailer it down there. Work, life, and travel have held me hostage for the last few weeks. I saved up for my 2-Post lift and am still planning to...

    Build Another LS swap? Really???

    Not yet. I shifted focus to getting my buddy's 6.0/6L90 swap running and then...I got a new job that brought me here. The Cummins swap is sitting outside my shop waiting on its turn to come in. I am having a 2 post lift installed this summer so I can pull the body again and do everything I...

    Build Another LS swap? Really???

    Well hello there. Been over a year since I posted up here, so why not make a drop today. I moved up to Indiana in March and haven't had much of a chance to get out and explore the offroad world here...small as it may be. Lots of farms, fertile ground, and trees around me now, but that means...
