Ol' Blue, my 68' fj40 project (1 Viewer)

[2fpower]

finally went back to where it began. I bought old blue from Duane, tech tafab several years back, and took it back to him to put the finishing touches with a whole new exhaust system. Doing does beautiful work, and crafted what looks like a off the assembly line exhaust system on the old blue

She really is beautiful. Great to see you're getting her out and stretching her legs!

 

[2fpower]

Thanks @FZJ80 in KC . I have been tracking down oil leaks this week. Replaced all the crush washers this morning on tranny/transfer.

Plan to get her on ebay within the week....

She's a beaut Clark.

Did you ever consider selling it on bringatrailer.com? I haven't done my own comparison of the benefits of selling there, but I would certainly rather buy there than eBay.

 

[2fpower]

Not familiar with that one. I have been very happy with the wide net that ebay gives you.

Good news, looks like I got all the oil leaks fixed.

 

[2fpower]

No leaks!!!!

 

[ccasteel]

You gonna put the oil back in now?


Sorry I couldn't resist. I have loved watching this build and the attention to detail you put into it. Someone is going to get more car than they realize.

All good things must come to an end. Thanks to everyone that helped me build this FJ40.

Here is the adapter mark makes for the Fj to convert to using later model power booster.

The larger hole one is the one I had to make to use the GEO master. The OD of the bore area was larger and it could be shorter overall

About to build one of these today for my ‘67. Any pointers or something you’d do differently the 2nd time?

Nope. Worked perfectly.

 

[S4Cruiser]

Nope. Worked perfectly.

Question...extending the pushrod on the back of the booster. Did you weld or bolt somehow a threaded rod to lengthen and adapt to the cruiser brake pedal?

 

[2fpower]

I Don’t recall. Think that I had enough room when I adjusted it all the way out.

 

[2fpower]

Just looking for some pics and realized I never put the final photos here.
