Lynda's "CJ" Buildup Progress

the gussets are tacked in place, center consul mounted, t-case shifters mounted and adjusted, rear view mirror mounted, and a CB antenna mount welded on.
No work tonight - I'm in Natchitoches LA...

My wife loves that town...

it's nice. Pretty drive from Many to here also. Looks like I have to go back to Jasper tomorrow, broke a 3" 4340 compressor rod about an hour ago.

You don't understand how Scott rolls do you?



Go ahead and just put this on the plates: JAKES (as in inheritance) :)

at Jasper tonight, dealing with a broken 3" compressor rod and the crosshead sitting on the engine room floor...
Cool carnage pics :eek:

Damn!!!

just jb weld it. that **** will buff out

so it looks to be built kinda like a steam locomotive...how is that thing oiled on the carriage slide thingy? drip? or is it splashed up from the crank case or maybe even pressure fed? so the piston is connected the slider which is in turn connected the rod and down to the crank. Is this design to control side loads or to help produce more low end torque (w/ the huge length of the connecting rod)....looks like fun...better than a desk job

force feed lubrication - that's what those 1/4" lines are for
the cross head just guides the compressor rod and piston - and transmits the force from the connecting rod to the compressor piston. The power pistons are on the same crank - they just run verticle...
