Yes, still for sale. No problems with fiberglass. It is kept in garage majority of time. When paint was done added some supports inside to help stabilize. Interior did not change to much. I will try and get some pictures of interior this week. Thanks, Brian

Thank you

Sorry, Until I can figure out how to link it looks like you have to go to forums, scroll down, choose 40 & 55 series tech forum. Once that opens search "1978 fj40 order of the build". The thread is dated Jan 17, 2015. I will try and get a link to work to open thread but in the meantime this...

If this is still for sale, I will take it.

Nice, I'm up in Fort Wayne, but I work in Indy often. It would be nice to get together with some cruiser enthusiasts around the area for some beers or a ride.

It's been a long winter, but spring is finally here in Indiana! I wanted to update a few projects I took on since I got it back from paint. First thing I started is something I should have done before paint, but that's how it goes. I have a fiberglass body and the fresh air intake vent was...

Man do I love looking at your pictures! If you get time, would you give me a measurement of the metal air cleaner intake? Mainly just the rectangular end. I'm having a tough time locating one, so I'm going to see about getting one fabricated. Thanks, Brian

Thanks for the lead. I'll message him and see if he's up for it.

I just got mine from Racer65 last week, looks great. Now, I need to find the inlet part #17751 and clamps part #17882A. Any idea where I can get my hands on the inlet? I'm able to locate the clamps online, but am having no luck finding the inlet.

Thank you for the compliments. One problem I want to address in the near future is the spare tire carrier. I salvaged a stock one and had it all painted and ready to install, but since it mounts to the rear corner of the body and my body is fiberglass, it's probably not a good idea. Does...

After stripping down the doors and removing the windows from the old top sides, I conclude that the original color was beige. So I decide I am going to bring her back as close as I can to her original look. Beige, Single Stage. The research on what beige seemed pretty simple with the array of...

Cool Thanks, I'm in Fort Wayne. I do a lot of work in Indy, currently working on a job in Franklin. Probably be working down there off and on for the next few months. Country Cruisers in Ridgeville, probably has a hood. Their number is (765)748-4926 and email address is...

What? That must be a typo! I have to believe you can get way more then that. Even though I'm not shopping for one, that price really has me interested. I'd sure like to see you get double that.
