That was literally the first time it fired up to run it, the belt gave out. Fn ford’s always breaking down. It really smoothed out after that video.

I took time to install the top and spare tire,

 

[jeeeep]

that's a perfect parade Jeep

 

[Bullwinckle]

Looking and sounding good!

Little more work today. Ran new fuel lines, cleaned the tank, new fuel pump, removed the wheels and checked the brakes. It appears they all have newer wheel cylinders. Not much more I can do until parts arrive.

Unlike Dan, I don’t look at shit sitting in my garage.

Started rebuilding the carb today. This this has way more passages than my 53 A1 or the FC and wagon. I also swapped out the master cyclinder and bled some brakes. It’ll stop

 

[piginajeep]

I’m glad I took a bunch of photos. . I’ll see how i did tomorrow. I kept the inspection tag from 1944. I wonder how many times this carburetor has been rebuilt in the last 81 years.

Coming along nicely!

It kicked my ass a bit today. I couldn’t get fuel to the carb. Turned out to be something in the line.

I still need to do some carb adjustments, the hesitation is from the float bowl over flowing or to much fuel pressure from the new pump.

I’m gonna take it for a spin tomorrow

Sounds great. Nice find.

 

[piginajeep]

I have some brake issues half sorted out, if stops enough to take it for a spin.

I ended up having to put a fuel regulator on it. I’m hoping a more expensive fuel pump period correct the pressure. Anyways !! It runs great !

A little different than my other jeeps, but lots of fun !!

Sometimes this thing kick my ass. I snapped off the bleeders on two of the wheel cylinders, New wheel cylinders came in and I snapped a brake line, actually two.., .

So more shit on order…, did I mention these are full float axles…

Damn, the headaches of working on old iron

Yeah, things to be expected. I just hate that it’s a rare jeep and I keep snapping shit.

But it’s a blast to drive., even without brakes
