Does anyone have any interest in a 1950 Mercury? It has been parked in a garage for 10+ years, all original. Owner had Parkinson's (and has passed) and was unable to drive it so it was parked. It's located in Flagstaff if anyone is interested in...

Well- @dlzadl and I have accomplished everything and more that we set out to do with this build. We have solidified plans for the next chapter……

sold!

Nice! I didn't even know HF made an induction heater. I will give it a try for fifty bucks. Thanks! I just looked on the website and don't see it, do you happen to have a link?

Have another Rubber City Land Cruisers visitor -

Thanks @RevISK … lo and behold…as maybe the most resistant person in my circle to spend another $2500 or more, I ordered the Terrain Tamer spring kit. I need a better ride. this 40 is stiffer and harder to bounce than any other I have had over...

If you work on your junk and live where they put salt brine on the road, you quickly become an expert on seized fastener removal. As difficult as some 50+ year old fasteners are, you haven't lived life until you have tried to dismantle some...

Sometimes I try to tighten first before loosen. Call me crazy, but it has worked. Heated and not. Just a tap or two with impact.

If you think your driver bit is slipping back in the screw slots, add a dab of valve grinding compound into the slots. The abrasive of the valve grinding compounds adds some extra bite which just might do the trick.

These work great- add heat and Kroil...

Added keepers to the trailing end of the adjustment straps. Cleaner look. Nothing flapping in the breeze. 1”, fits snugly and passed the “high speed” (55mph) test. :rofl: I’ll double tap this on the TROA thread.

These also work well...

Thanks, wood it’s beech tree, very hard

What's up with the visors? They remind me of an episode of Big Bang where Penny found a chair! Nice rig :)

I’ll take a bunch of pics and post what I did, with links, in my build thread that is in my signature. I’m not very good at videos. :)

Make a video of recovering the other seat :)

Those diagrams have become my bible as I chase down all my electrical gremlins... Do any of y'all know if he's still selling wire / connectors? I've reached out a few times via email but no answer (but we have enough vendors with the mentality...

Same here about Coolerman's wiring diagrams. Really handy when verifying or repairing cobbled wiring. FYI, I reached Mark by email in April and bought some wire and connectors.

Awesome Awesome! Thank you! I was hoping someone that has actually done it would comment. :)

FWIW, I put a big-cap 60 dizzy on my 12/79 build 40 and used the original ‘79 igniter and coil, and it works just fine. I can get a photo of the igniter if you want.

https://globalsoftware-inc.com/coolerman/fj40/wiringmainframe.htm Coolerman for the win! I was looking for more information on my own and found his website with a ton of dizzy information on it :) Thank you for the response CruiserinProgress, I...

Do you have a resistor or resistor wire in your ignition circuit (between the switch and coil +? My 79, with the small cap electronic distributor and matching igniter/coil were fed by 7v, dropped down from 12v via the resistor or resistor wire...

Hey guys I upgraded my 1977 ignition to get rid of the points to a 1978 distributor and the coil/igniter shown in the pic. Since the cap for this has gone unobtanium, time to upgrade again to a large body distributor I have had sitting on the...
