Spare Nose.
The other part I got from the Great Gwynn Oak Sell-Off is a spare 1972 nose for Peer Pressure, essentially an unmolested version of the same nose I’ve got, with undented chrome and badge intact. Sweet!
Heater Box Rebuild
Here’s a great article on a heater box rebuild from the Binder Planet.
Merry Christmas!
Santa was very, very good to me this year: He sent me a brand-new Tuffy console for the Scout to replace the odd metal/wood stock unit that doesn’t lock. Once I get this installed, I’ll have someplace safe and secure to lock down tools, radio, and other important gear.
Water Pump, Part One.
The excellent Mr. Clean and Brian H. stopped in this Sunday, despite two inches of snow, to help motivate me enough to tear down the coolant system on Peer Pressure and see what’s what. One of the things holding me back has been my inexperience with this particular section of the engine, and my fear [...]
Gone Quiet.
I haven’t done much with the Scout lately, only because it’s been ridiculously busy in the last couple of weeks, and the temperature gauge has been giving me a scare. I drove home from work about two weeks ago and for the time it took to sit at a red light, the gauge climbed towards [...]
Seasons Changing.
It’s getting colder, and it seems like it’s raining every day, so I broke down and put the soft top back on. I also got the oil changed down the street (I kept a close eye on the guys in the well) and had the oil in the rear diff replaced—it was sludgy when he [...]
Great Advice.
Looking over my Scout this weekend, I was filled with the urge to tear something apart and start making things better. I didn’t have the time to do anything other than drive her to the store and back, but I found some advice on the BP this evening here, the important bits I’ll quote:
Don’t do [...]
Uh Oh.
Hm. I found this unhappy puddle under the old girl when I came back up from work to go home.
When I got home and let her sit for a few hours, there was nothing at all underneath. Which either means the water pump was unhappy this morning, or she’s just trying to get my attention.
Weekend Report, 8.30

So on Saturday morning we returned A’s shop to finish stripping our parts carcass, which meant pulling the last few parts from the body, then flipping it on its side to pull the axles. As you might expect, we did it redneck-style, which involved a very heavy towstrap, a very heavy pickup and a very [...]
Weekend Report 8.23
This Sunday A. and B.H. met me up in Finksburg to finish hauling off an engine and a top from the seller we’d visited last weekend, and within about an hour’s time we had a 345/727 combo loaded onto a trailer, with three spare tire/rims and a Traveller top secured over everything. After a brief [...]
