1959 FJ25 Soft Top Frame Off Restoration (1 Viewer)

I visited the tub today. Its coming along nicely. Of course, I forgot the camera

 

[foxfab]

I visited it again. Its getting blasted again tomorrow and then straight to primer. Its so much nicer than I could have done in that short amount of time. Of course, it would have been cheaper to go with Paul's tub by now too

Oh, I don't need to see any pictures anyhow. Plenty of 25's to look at on the internet and in my garage.

[treerootCO]

Where are the pics? Did I miss them?

 

[foxfab]

nope. Its in primer I hear. The body shop should be starting on it again this week. They got slammed with some crash work.
I'm gonna call badger tomorrow and see whats up.

 

[fogblanket]

[JohnnyC]

[foxfab]

Depending on other people to do work sucks... I called and left a message last week, havent heard. Guess its time to stop by.

mike...were you thinking of getting this rust preventative treated when done?

I saw these guys near us in MA...they have a home kit you can apply in the areas you want to protect the most...or...the whole undercarage

I don't think the owner will be driving this in the weather. Just a hunch.

 

[JohnnyC]

to prevent the residual salt on the roads from doing it thing on the nice new steel...all that work needs to be protected

Thanks alot for this thread. Merebes, now I'm loosing sleep wondering when the next pics are going to be posted up! I hope Fox didn't forget to weld the toolbox floor back in! Would be a pitty to be driving down the road, and lose all of the stock TEQ tools! I'll be following to pick them up okay??

Updates wanted!

Body shop is taking the frame today to fit the tub and fenders. I found that I had a complete set of NOS body mounts that I got off Ebay for the whopping price of $25. SOR is selling these for $30-40 EACH!!! (X 12) I thought I only had the small ones, but it turns out I had the two big ones too. and two small spares to boot!

Just 1 picture. 1.




















































Please... just 1

 

[ColoCruiserJeff]

I think by the lack of pictures, this truck has been sucked into the LandCruiser restoration-hole, and to never appear again! WE NEED PICTURES TO KEEP US MOTIVATED!!!

 

[treerootCO]

I want to see 25 pics

 

[ColoCruiserJeff]

Beleive it or not, maybe this sounds like a white-trash kinda solution. BUT, hockey pucks work great for mounts too! Shave 'em down to fit, and for less than $.80 each at any sporting goods store

Yeah, guess it wouldn't be original
