Been a while . . .

Been a while since I've made any entries, and truth be told, there's been very little to post on with regards to Jeeps . . . . I've made no progress, having many more activities to fill my time with & all progress on the Flattie on hold. However, for December, some activity has finally surfaced! My Dad did the awesome job of getting me a new fuel tank for the Flattie, as the older one we installed kept pluggin up at the outlet line due to rust & debris. So I pulled the old one & proceeded to install the new one, but low & behold, when I went to transplant the fuel sending unit, I found a major contributor to the rust & debris problem; it was a rust popsicle. So, 3 days later & a new sending unit in hand from Krage Motorsports, I go to install it in the new tank, the last item left to complete the fuel system so I can fill the tank & fire up the motor again . . . . but once again, a another challenge reared its head: the bolts from the old sending unit that I matched up with new bolts for the new unit won't fit in the new tank sending unit location! So now, considering I don't care to keep investing in bolts until I find the right ones, I've got several posts out on forums I participate on & an email out to Krage for an answer to get the right size bolts.

THEN, I can finally fire it up & hopefully have no running issues with it. It's now been almost 4 years & I'm ready to finally get to enjoy driving it, rather than just admiring it in my garage. Stay tuned in for further details . . . once this challenge is overcome, the next big challenge is getting it painted, an adventure in itself, given I have a nonexistent budget to do it with.
