Hi Bridog.
I am going to send you a PM about your Jeep frame.

We are going to put a 4.3L throttle body there. Not sure if we are going to control the fuel with a GM computer (equipped with a custom Prom chip) or if we will use a Microsquirt ECM. Either way we go it is going to be a learning experience for us.

Oops maybe I should have been more clear.
Hoping maybe Elmo will get some kind of fuel injection that I can copy. |

We assembled the Dauntless over Christmas break. The engine is completely stock other than a high-volume oil pump kit. Once assembled we filled it with oil then primed it with a drill to verify oil flow to the rocker arm shafts and that it makes good oil pressure. Then unfortunately it has to set on the engine stand while Blueberry took over the shop for a couple months to get some pesky leaks fixed. The Dauntless is now all painted up and residing back in Elmo. This last weekend we got the accessories bolted back on it and made a material list of what we need to get to keep the assembly going together. Hoping to keep making some steady progress, but we have gotten to the expensive stage of the build and a few items we need have some long lead times. |

Yes, hoping to see some more progress on this very interesting Jeep build.
Can hardly wait until the engine build commences.

Nice project, Elmo is going to be a blast to wheel when done. I have a mandrel bent 2x4 frame under my WILLYS. It came from Throttle Down Kustoms in Moore Montana, owner is Jeremy Pulse. You can by just frame rails or an entire frame. Look forward to seeing your progress. James

We’ve spent most of the past couple months doing body work and getting Elmo ready for paint. Then a couple weeks ago, we got it painted. The paint we chose is Hot Rod Flatz Sublime Green. While we let the paint cure, we ran some of the brake, fuel, and air locker lines before setting the tub and roll cage back on the frame. We have a rebuild kit on the way for the engine, which we hope to start on soon. -Dylan

Wow! I remember looking through this thread a good while back, and was very impressed with the work you had done on it. Even more so since seeing the latest progress.
I didn't realize this was the Jeep that Dauntless is going into, and am happy I sold it to someone who does this level of work. Hope to see that Jeep once it is completed.

Get Elmo together and come out to the Winter 4x4 Jamboree at Sand Hollow in January. We'll have a flat fender festival.
