I do have a fan installed, but on the outside because of no room for it in front of the engine.
Yup, I did all that. I finally got it to fit. I made some brackets to secure the upper part of the grill. It’s solid now.
I have another question. I installed the fenders, radiator, and now the grill. I'm having trouble mounting it. Should I have installed the grill...
I saw that, but the description isn’t good.

I met Chips dad Sam a long time ago when I worked for Snap-On. I went to his house in Santa Ynez. He's in Arizona now. I wish I could talk to him...
I thought of that too, but I think I would have to brace it a little more. Like up to the bumper brackets.
You can't really see it much, but I ground the front of it at a little angle. I guess a little more wouldn't hurt.
Here it is all done. Straightened and Repaired and painted the Chin Pan, and skid plate. Then installed it all. I hope it works, [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

Update, I replaced all 4 bushings and readjusted the linkage. It felt better, but still wasn't right. I tried putting the gear shifter in all the...
Thanks you guys. I should get the bushings tomorrow. When I converted it to an open driveshaft I saw that everything looked good. It was rebuilt...
Thanks. It seems like the detent is working. I found the adjustable linkage is very loose and needs new bushings top and bottom. I'll replace...
I was real careful when I installed the springs and ball for the detent. Plus they were new. I'll double check how it feels. Thanks
I tried different adjustments and it gets stuck in gear or between gears when drive it. On the lift it shifts into all the gears, until I try to...

Merry Christmas from Hesperia California. :d
Great pictures. I guess you have to get there early so not to get that sun glare late morning and afternoon.
BTW they deleted the post.
Not a pissing contest. I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. Just looking for new ideas. And of course I know it's called channelling. I posted the...
Yeah I'd like to know too.
So post some pictures like this. [IMG]
