The Jimmy is ready for spring!
No progress to report. Just waiting for the weather to break. It's just about spring! Let the fun begin. Need to paint and install new front inner fender wells. Get the tail light wiring repaired. New rear 4" drop spring in the rear. (sits way to high) That is what they are suppose to be. (NOT) I don't know where they were ordered from but they are not 4" drop springs. I have another engine to install. Repair or replace gas tank. Some small stuff and hopefully get it back on the road.

Re: The Jimmy is ready for spring!
Update-got it running, new plugs and a different carb. It will stay running now. It had a bad carb, bad gas, and fouled plugs. The new battery I put in last summer was dead. The starter is going bad and the engine was overheating. The clutch on the fan was bad so I replaced with another one I had in my spare parts bin. When I got it back last summer the doors and the front clip were off. The motor was fresh but had never been tuned. It would barely run. I still have a lot of work to do to get back on the road. The front end will need aligned. Has drop spindles and springs on it when I got it but has never been to the alignment shop. Need to install front inner fenders, get all light working. I still need to purchase a new gas tank. I have new front and rear bumpers to put on. The list goes on and on but I'm making progress. I drove it up the road and took a couple of pictures with it's big brother.
