Big day in jeep town (Progress Report)

Hey Guys.
Well started tearin her down the week of thanksgiving, Had a big delay waiting on a clutch fork, and another due to an elk in my friends garage (the 20 below temp wasn't a help either.) but got it back together and home yesterday (finally). The Rebuilt 225 I bought runs great (So Far)takin her out for the first time in on ice and snow was prolly a good thing I had to behave or risk hitting a tree. (it runs a little hot though..195 with a 160 in 25 degree day, small radiator though.) Haven't put my HEI in yet and it runs so good its hard to want to mess with it. startin to like the idea of pertronix instead, figures i change my mind after i grind the mani...I Like the headers, Chrome was a late night beer driven choice,but they've blued up and look good The chain clutch works as advertised, very nice, a way easy upgrade and for sure easier than rigging my tube and cables for the 10th time..Reverse on my 420 is a little bit under my leg, but I wont ever inadvertently stick it Reverse. Its very odd having 4 gears...My floor went back together remarkable well, (lots of pounding and sawing) but i can clean that up in the summer. I was able to get my D18 single to bolt to the 420 without any welding and it shifts better than it did before. I had to work on the shifter for quite awhile to get it to clear my battery box (45 minutes and a 5 pound hammer) but its in a better spot than it was before and i can reach it without dislocating my hip

 

Sounds good! Any pictures???
