Posi's Do-over

Wish I had enough time on my hands to be bored. Ha Ha You should be able to whip that right out. Flat piece of steel with a couple of holes drilled in it. Piece of cake.

 

Installed the skid for the fuel switch solenoid.

Started making a shroud for the radiator today. There is a sheetmetal shop next door to my warehouse and they let me use their equipment over the weekend. Should finish it tomorrow. No pics today's progress. Pretty convenient having a brake, shear and roller to work with. I'm using 16g steel for the shroud.

 

Thanks, Jim. I should be able to drive it Thursday.

 

Really nice work. You make it look so easy so thats why I figured you could make it haha.

 

I wouldn't want to rob you of the personal satisfaction of making it yourself!

 

I probably missed it, but what did you use for a frame for that rear panel? Just square tubing? And also, what brand corner guards are those, or did you make them?

Thank you!!

 

I think I used 3/4" x 2" x 1/8" rectangle tubing for the frame. I'll check when I go back up to the warehouse today. The corners are from Warrior Products. I had to call them to order the corners without the holes cut out already.

 

OK, That's what I was looking for, some w/o the cut outs. Thanks!

 

Personal satisfaction my right foot!!! at this point, i just want her done weather by miracle or force...i dont care haha. Did get my drive lines finally today and will go back to the stock steering for now till i can afford to get the rest of my ps stuff. so just brakes, steering and fit the drive shafts.

 

Except for paint, I'm done with the fan shroud. I'll get it painted tomorrow and installed. Then I still have to install the tranny/t-case skidplate and the anti-wrap bar, bleed the brakes before I can take it to get the exhaust system installed on Wed. It snowed here all day...........must be almost Summer! Ha Ha

 

That's fancy...it's nice having access to sheet metal equipment.

 

I couldn't have pulled it off without access to their equipment.

 

Snow, kind of reminds me of the time a friend and I left Redding CA for a back pack trip into the Seirra's from the Nevada side. Left truck ( 100+ degrees), woke up Sunday moring with 2 inches of snow. Good thing for having a space blanket and a good fire!!!

 

I hear that! I've seen snow in June, July and August since I've lived here, not to mention the rest of the months in the year.

 

"I couldn't have pulled it off without access to their equipment."

Nothing beats having the right tools for the job. Good work

 

Man that looks good John!
Next in line please.

 

Beautiful work! How does the horn sound?

 

Aaaaaawwwwwwwooooooooogggggggaaaaaaaa!

I've never had a shroud on my Jeep before, but since I moved the radiator so far forward with the '73 fenders and hood I felt like I should have one. I also have a manually operated electric fan on the front of the radiator.
