Hello... meet my new obsession! (1 Viewer)

I paid an old friend to paint it. He owns a shop that has won multiple awards for car show quality paint jobs. He's doing this one for $6K. Still needs to be buffed and cured, but it's almost done. Woohoo!

Beautiful color !

Also... my wife wants to know if there is a cruiserhead wife support forum? Ha!

My wife just seconded that. Lol.

 

[MTNMAN133]

Almost there... It won't be too much longer until Uncle Buck is ready to roll!

 

[cruiser enthuiser]

Gorgeous!!!

 

[MTNMAN133]

Interior is complete!! Turned out amazing. I should have the exterior finished later this week...more pics to come.

Good looking ride. I'm new here as well, and this forum is excellent for help. I've done several items on my own/with the help of the collective knowledge of the group. I've got the same wheels on my 86 FJ60 (Lucy Lebowski). Didn't know they were called Tracker. I was thinking about Blacking them out, not sure.

Couple of questions:
1. Did you get new seat covers or they just in that good of shape? I didn't see any post about it, but I miss things all the time.

2. I noticed you got a "bottle opener". Is this an actual bottle opener for cold beers that can be installed on the LC or is that term I don't understand since I'm a newbie.

 

[MTNMAN133]

@Ellison - those are the original seats. They're in amazing shape! Also, I got an actual bottle opener from cruisercrap that I've attached to my rear bumper.

I was finally able to take a weekend to put Uncle Buck to the test! It did awesome! Other than coming home with a leaky water pump, the trip to the backcountry of Big Bend National Park was an amazing success. When I get some time, I'll post up a summary of what has been done to this point. I owe much thanks to the incredible resource of this forum and many of you on here. Gracias!!

B,

That's some damn nice looking armor..............

[MTNMAN133]

Sure is, Jason! I've received lots of compliments on them. It's too bad you don't make armor for white Ford F150s. I could make you rich here in Midland! Lol!

I built my fair share for the oilfield crowd back in the day! My all time favorite was being asked by rig welders to build them a new bed for their trucks... MY RESPONSE... "REALLY"... and just walked away...

POSERS!!!

HEE HEE

Well it looks great. you did a awesome job with the choices for Uncle Buck.

Thank you, sir! You did a most excellent job on everything!

I have never liked brown on a vehicle...but DAMN....this is just downright sexy. Top it off with Jason's front and rear armor.....man, I wish I'd seen his stuff a few years ago before I bought the ARB front. I'm sure Jason's tired of hearing me whine about this.

Great work you're doing on this rig...really love watching the transformation.

What a great thread! You've really put your sweat and tears into Uncle Buck and it shows!

Quick question: how difficult was the CruiserCrap console installation? I'm interested in upgrading but curious about the modifications needed for it to be able to fit my 62. Thanks!

It wasn't that bad. I used a piece of 1-1/2" square tubing in the back and 1" in the front. Other than a trip to the hardware store and a few holes to drill, it was pretty simple. Great quality product!!
