a new beginning

[scott johnson]

The 40 is alive. The heart transplant is done and she fired right up and seems to be running good. We just have to fix a leaking water hose,set the timing,put the bib on, top off the tranny and transfer case fluids, and adjust the valves. Almost ready for a test drive. And yes I took video but the format from my EVO isn't recognized on mud so I couldn't post it.

Very cool. Good to know.

coming together

a pic under the hood and one all put together. Notice the fancy Trollhole carb. Runs sweet. Drove her yesterday to the car wash to get almost a years worth of grime off. Ran great except the water temp sending unit Isn't working. That will be fixed shortly. Had a new one today but Parks sold me the wrong one so well be going to plan B.

Congrats Scott! looking good

 

[greenseaman]

Good job! Glad to hear it's running!

 

[the gimpey one]

hows that red 62 running?

 

[BBQ BOY]

I was told by the fella at Backpaker that you were painting it to be very colorful. I was hoping to see it a couple weeks ago at the Cruiseing Carolinas run.

 

[dbenke]

It wasn't on the road then...That's why I wasn't there, I was putting it back together.

 

[dbenke]

The 62 runs fine...It needs a little TLC, but other than that, it's good.

very colorful

Very colorful. Under the hood anyway. Outside is still desert tan for now.

 

[scott johnson]

Still need a damn water temp sending unit though!

I like it. Good job on the color combo. Could have used some pink in there though.



What did you do with the sending unit out of your old motor?

 

[scott johnson]

It got misplaced during the swap over. Might have accidentally Gotten tossed.

 

[dbenke]

I've got some pink paint...which parts did you have in mind?
(besides the obvious temp sender)

 

[the gimpey one]

the whole rig

 

[scott johnson]

David, Maybe I'll use some of that pink paint when I do the body work on your 62.



Should I even ask why you had pink paint to begin with???? Maybe you need a sticker like Marshalls...." I'm not gay I just really like rainbows" Lmfao!
