    Wanted North Texas : I need an old worn out FST (Paki, OCD beetle or other)

    Recommend using the measurements in my thread with a long 72'' metal ruler/straight edge. A used top will be stretched and warped and isn't a good template. Just lay the fabric out in a very flat space and you can cut the pieces with a fabric pencil and a giant ruler. Get a bowl or other...

    FJ40 Early Horn Button Repro

    If I remember correctly I would use really nice painters tape for the straight lines (two bottom V lines and then one long piece across the top. Then I would hand paint the white with a very small brush Then I use a razor blade or q tip or toothpick to clean up the inside paint lines or I...

    Whoops! I've been away from the forum for too long. You are correct. You cannot use a EARLIER (horn button in center) with a LATER wheel (center is decorative only... horn buttons on the side). Note: there are multiple versions of the plastic insert for the EARLY horn button. Those plastic...

    just got my tires replaced the other day... haven't seen or driven my rig in years and I had to sit there and stare at the rear axles... I just couldn't believe that the nuts weren't fully engaged. I don't remember them being as bad as yours... but the studs weren't flush with the nut. Just...

    While waiting for parts to put my Dash Gauges back together, is there an official color for the dash so that I can repaint it?

    FJ40 Early Horn Button Repro

    Hi guys, i haven't forgot about you and the horn buttons. I want to make more but it's going to be a long time before I figure out how to do it in a way where it doesn't take 5 hours per button. I think the metal retainer rings can be made as well with a simple press. Your best bet if you...
