This is kinda the direction I have moved to as of late.

I feel like this is getting closer to a more "acceptable" layout. I'm trying to figure out what icons or wording to cut into the heater "blend" knob... Also, should I put the Willys W-O symbol in the middle? Or another heater/ac vent? I already plan to have vents on the side of this center console kinda aimed into the footwells. I will probably be adding a USB port to the top right in that little empty space.

Very nice work. I like the compass too. I like the HVAC box. Much nicer and durable than anything else out there.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Working on a custom modernized wiper setup on my truck. TIG welded a metal sleeve to a flange then turned the plastic bushing down to fit inside of it.

Everything look fine as far as range and motion? I ended up a with a 12" blade, 10" arm center to center, with a 2-3/4" vertical offset while in the horizontal position.

Spring loaded wiper arms cut up and TIG'd back together. Cut up some 18" blades for temporary 12" blades. Pretty happy so far.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Been busy dealing with stupid stuff like a second blown head gasket. Got the wipers worked 90% out. Should have picutures and video update of that next week. I ran some bigger copper tubing for the A/W intercooler water lines to clean them up a little bit. I'll get pics of that. Next project to tackle will be doing the center console.

Thanks for commenting. Helps motivate me to work on it.

I have two Willys Jeep trucks that I was restoring a long time ago. This makes me want to jump back into those, but with a 4bt as a power plant.

Good work!

So I haven't gotten a whole lot done with the Willys lately. I've been wanting to work on the fuel delivery system for a while now. Because of how shallow and wide my tank is, I have a huge problem sucking air whenever I get down to 1/2 a tank. So to help remedy the issue I made this bolt in sump out of stainless that also has a simple baffle network, better than nothing anyways... I also ran 1/2" ID Line from the tank to the modified mechanical lift pump running the comp cams upgraded spring.

When you have access to a laser and part of your building is rented out to a tire store, you can easily make your own gaskets....

Of course the tank is upside-down in this picture.

It's not the prettiest but overall I am pretty impressed with it. I have a little less than 1/4 tank right now and on the drive home I was really hard on it: quick braking, WOT pulls, drifting around corners... I removed the wood out of my bed and ran a clear return line so I could watch for bubbles. I only got aeration one time when I came around a left corner, oversteered, and then jerked back. I feel like I gained some mid/high range power too. I think the 1/2" line is helping to keep the fuel pressure around 55psi (where I have my Watts valve set on the return line). I didn't have my gauge hooked up but before when it was sucking out of a straw, I could get that gauge down to 12psi on a WOT pull.

Possibly one of the coolest things I've seen in mouths.

I was really surprised to be hearing the tires screeching off the line with an 18psi boosted launch... I think they didn't really prep the track much because it was just diesel night. I'll tell you what, the sump and 1/2" line definitely made a difference; while my transmission is still shifting too late and it starts defueling (if I don't let of the pedal to get it to shift) It is for sure pulling harder in the 3600 to 4000 rpm range where before it would fall off REAL quick.

I did blow out at least 1 or 2 exhaust manifold gaskets on my last race running down a duramax with a 4 second head start. lol

Nice passes. Are you running the single layer gaskets or multi layer?
