    Builds Patches - My '76 40. B3.3 Swap and some general fixin' up

    Glad to see Patches is still with us. I put the 40 to work for the first time in probably 9 months yesterday to drag a pine tree that blew down out of the yard and to the curb.

    Yes I do feel I'm geared too low sometimes, especially with 6.34 first gear, but with the NV4500 wide ratios it performs much better than with 4.11s. I think I've mentioned before that @orangefj45 warned me about the NV4500 being a poor choice for the OM617, but I was too dumb to 1) understand...

    Baselined the fluids Saturday and she wheeled all day Sunday and drove 250 miles back on Monday. Yes, however, marks were left.

    In the tech realm, the Vintage Air II with defrost worked magnificently. I highly recommend it.

    5th Annual DLC Coal Creek Winter Summit - Jan 13-16, 2023

    Flopped on 22. My fault. Luckily nobody hurt. The DLC crew sprung into action like true warriors. Back on the trail in 40 mins with 2 qts of oil. Baselined everything Sat and wheeled Sunday. Drove it back 240 miles Monday. Buying these for the crew next Christmas:

    Looks good! My oldest son just turned 12. They're actually functional now, haha. Jack helped me all yesterday afternoon getting the heater plumbed. He even had his first "can you please hold the flashlight steady / quit shining it in my eyes" moment.
