    Actually yes and no. Updates: Found a new fabricator dude here locally. He is doing the following: 1. Tied in the Baja rack to mount to the frame, through the bed, as required. Pictures to come once I get the truck back. 2. Is re-doing the massive front bumper so it attaches properly. This...

    Sorry. The question was can I use the stock steering wheel in this project. I wasn't sure if everything mounted on the donor steering wheel (1996), tied to the wiring harness, was simply mounted to the the donor wheel, or if there were any grounds/issues/etc if I put the connections else where...

    more questions: steering column Spent the weekend "shaving" the calipers to accommodate the rims, working on replacing the rear driver door lock and handle assembly (using a spare door I procured with Eleanor), and was evaluating the electronic situation. It is clear there can only be two...

    how to post video? So, the oil pan is in. Sealed up, no leaking, and ready for a new life in Eleanor. Speaking of, we test fired the set up finally. And I have video... but how do I post videos on this site? Once I have that answer, I will post up.

    oil pan The old one was crusty, JB welded, and leaky. Was a now brainer to simply replace with the new (now that its free from under the truck). The new one, well, its an oil pan. Nothing sexy to report here...

    go, no go... So the weekend did not go completely as planned with firing up Eleanor. Upon topping off the fluids, I noticed a consistent stream of oil pee from under the truck. Closer inspection revealed a small hole in the oil pan. Upon closer-closer inspection, I noticed at least four jb...

    spaghetti...everywhere! so I now have two steering columns, cause we butchered the first one unceremoniously. Master Chief Willard and I are hoping to patch the new column, the old harness, and all my crap and have a go at firing up Eleanor this coming weekend. Mind you, not road ready, but...
