Great drawings Tim. I also have them saved in one of my many "WTF do I do now??????" files....

Kirk - While not "electrical" it's probably worth mentioning that connecting working temp and oil pressure gauges prior to a test run is not necessary but still a good idea. It's nice to know in advance if your motor is going to blow up in your face. My guess is you've done this already.

You guys are all way too kind.  I'm just trying to give back what the 3A Page has done for me.

Ryan thanks for the tip, I did do that thankfully.

 All I did start the Jeep today,  :( No video to post I was so excited.. but then my son and daughter in law came down for the weekend and that ended any quality garage time.

 I will try to stop in there tomorrow and take a video of the session�

 Jeep started and ran, no real issues. Small issue with carb, will not run without some choke.. need to address that, otherwise� purrs like a kitten..

  :D

 I sure am excited Ryan unfortunately work will get in the way the next week or so. I have some work to do to get a platform and a seat rigged up for it.

Randy it does run like a watch..

I also have a small issue carb wise to get straightened out so a few weeks or so.

Looks good....there are a surprising number of parts/screws/wires/brackets associated with the grill...it's a real sub-assembly....

I put mine together, attached the radiator and the shroud and then bolted it to the chassis...

They are heavy buggers too!

Well, here it is the video of the first drive, I wish it were better but holding my iPhone and trying to drive a vehicle I have never driven in my life was not easy.. LOL

What a blast though, very happy no issues to report. After I took the video I was able to drive around again in all three gears and no issues. No strange noises or anything.

I am sure I have more work to do, but I am satisfied!
