I send them out, they get tanked to remove all oil in and out , then glass beaded. Then powder and decals.
Make an offer..............If you want one done. Shane __________________ ---> Heater restoration kits 1974-84 40 series ---> Heater restoration kits 1967-74 40 series ---> Replacement leather for 60 series ---> Replacement leather for 80 series ---> eBay Store - Decals, Heater kits and bits |

if i had that done it'd be the nicest thing on my truck.
i need to worry more about the mechanical issues than the color of the parts. thanks though! i think i'll just degrease the chit out of it and buff it possibly. __________________ Cruiser?

simple green
Get a $3 platic tub from any big store.
Put hot water in it. Like near boil. Pour simple green in it. Can be any mixture...1 to 1 or even straight if you want to spend ur whole jug ($7). Let it soak and scrub with brush or scotchbright after water cools down. Spray it with a hose. Dump bin of parts wash on least favorite neighbors lawn when he's not looking.

Didn't one of the Texas guys post up one he polished last year? I think he just used aluminum polish, and it looked like the valve cover on a show car. Really great if you are in to that sort of thing.
For me, I'd give it a good cleaning, and call it good. It's a 2F afterall. __________________ Andrew 1971 FJ-40 Rubicon tested 1976 FJ40 RIP 1984 FJ-60 H55f, 4.11, OME, Daily Driver 1989 FJ-62 117k-son's driver for now. 1997 FZJ-80 Factory sub-tank, and other tricks |

Would Purple Power work or does it have the same issue as Castrol?
