Builds Whitey Forty - Tilda Bogue Service Station (8 Viewers)

[1911]

I’ve never used one. The owner had this installed. I’m a big fan of a one wire setup but I usually use a 60 series alternator.

The Mean Green can put out up to 200 amps, useful if you have ham radios, a fridge, a manly winch, stereo, other accessories, etc.

The plates are on upside down.

Sure are. Maybe they aren’t that bent after all.

I took a break from Whitey today. Actually thought this would only take 1/2 my day but it took me until 7:30 pm to get all this crap aligned.

F450 with FrontRunner rack with Alucab tent.

Thank you sir. I’m looking forward to getting it running soon.

Starting to look mighty

Adjusted the valves (they were way loose), added all the hoses and a new heater valve. Stabbed the DUI ignition.

Headed to grab some 20/50 Valvoline so I can drain this block while the Wizard starts to glue to exhaust back together this afternoon.

Hey Nolen does the Wizard travel with fire or is he using your welder?

 

[knuckle47]

Those are very nice looking headers…

So much cruiser porn in this thread no one even noticed that sick Porsche

 

[wngrog]

Rotors came in. Thanks Cruiser Outfitters

Long body ASCO repop hubs via City Racer to replace the Warns

The Wizard is at work gluing the exhaust together with O2 sensor and Cat

Put the drag link in and did an alignment. 1/8” toe in is what I prefer on a 40.

I then spent the last hour making new brake lines where the old rusted ones twisted off.

Valley Hybrids backing plate removal “kit” with SS lines.

New OEM rubber lines

 

[clrussell]

I like those brake lines.

Got all of the 90 wt pumped in everywhere. Added the driveshafts back. Drained the oil.

Other than running the fuel pump and fuel lines I’m done under here.

Wizard had a little setback so he’s still dicking with the exhaust

The FedEx driver pulled up and started honking the horn because this was the heaviest box she had ever seen

 

[cbmontgo]

I like those Aisins. Are they are direct bolt-on for any mid-70s FJ40?

Love the white 40's. This owner will have a gem when you're done.

Is that blue TEQ FJ40 flag/poster that can be seen on the back wall through the door commercially available anywhere? Would love to frame one of those up for the office.
