WooHoo!!!
I am gonna get flamed for this, but at least the engine is painted Ford blue! Anyway, I finally got the old 75 CJ5 fired up today. I just had to share! Here are some pics and a short movie....we didnt get a whole lot done after it fired up...the homebrew came out.
Rigged up starter switch:
Fuel lines hooked up (I added a small inline filter) and belt on:
Prospective fuel cell :
And what we have all been waiting for........a movie of it running!!
There is no sound, but try to imagine a 6cyl that spits out exhaust right at the manifold! It was like music to my ears!!
(only 159K BTW.....it's a crappy movie....taken using my camera)

Then again, jeeps and scouts have their places...as speedbumps.

Nope......the suit is form fitted!
Brin out the whips! Here are some pics of the body:
I sprayed it with phosphoric acid to get rid of the rust:
Most of it is just surface rust, but it is going to need a new firewall:
The front end is in good shape:

Hey Idio, when are you gonna get some pics of that Scout in your gallery? Want to make sure I don't pass you buy without stopping to help when you're broke down.
