I started putting things back on the cruiser just to clear some shop space. I put all the doors together minus the interior trim and the driver window regulator which I need to pull from the brown 60. I also put the hatch and tailgate back together.






As discovered on my old 60, the rear license plate trim tends to rust out from behind. The cali truck has a solid one, but even it was starting to get some rust, so I cleaned it up with sand paper and hit it with some primer and paint before putting it back on.
















no progress on the suspension yet, other than I found some the material I am going to use for the JJ brackets. 3" x 3/16" wall tube is a perfect fit for the 2-5/8" JJ's, but it's too narrow for the bushings.




Lastly, I swapped tires for when I am ready to start mocking up the suspension.






Unfortunately, the next couple weeks are going to be busy with family in town and graduation so I won't have a whole lot of time to work on it, but hopefully i'll be able to find an hour here and there to pick at it some more.
