Good points, all. I had a heck of a time getting my first jeep to prime. I finally ended up filling the fuel filter with gas, then used air pressure at the gas tank while cranking to finally get it to feed. PITA! I don't know about those paper filters - I am still using the original style. I don't think these filters are so important these days because our gas supply is a lot more controlled than a bunch of jerry cans in WW2! Cheers!

We are getting so close to the finish line with Murph. 

What was supposed to take 10 days has taken about 14 months with a number of distractions along the way.  Not our goal, but 10 days was not a realistic goal in any event and we are going to have this one done pretty quickly in reality.

As we get closer to finishing this jeep, I think we are going to be pretty proud of the work - it is coming out nicely.  Lots to talk about here - the balance between quality and time.

Look forward to sharing the video with you on Thursday.

Great progress this weekend.  I got Murph wrapped in OD.  I am still obsessing about a few little small dents, but we are getting close.  Should be an epic episode this week!

Hope you guys are making progress on your projects!

Upside down???? I tried to install it the other way around on Tom's jeep - could not get it to fit, even with the Dennis hammer! Went back to the "normal way". I need to get some good pictures from you of the Tug transmission and t-case and share them....a super cool piece of history. Cheers Dana!
