Going back to the original question, It's a Land Cruiser "BASED" custom modified vehicle.

It’s not hard to hit 2,000 hours in a full on nut & bolt build. 1,000-1,500 hours would be pretty normal for a restoration type build. You can easily have 300+hrs in just paint. Now most the builds we do are not 40’s but they are Land...

Maybe could use it for broiling a roast at camp?

Major running issues have mainly been sorted out and I began driving it some today, mainly on the farm but a short run up the road. I think the kick down cable needs adjusting and I have an intermittent recurring high idle issue. Cold the idle...

Took a closer look, forgot that it ties into the frame so it stays.

Cat guard on the White Knuckle slider hangs down kind of low and looks like it would hang up on rocks. I'm thinking about cutting it off. The cat that's on there is tucked up high.

If you have the space keep the block and head, you'll likely never need them but if you part with them then need a block or head in the future finding one will be difficult to impossible. If you have a space OEM carb keep that and have it...

Hey Jim, I can still climb up into Bart and push the brake pedal hard enough to stop when needed. Took the 35s off a couple years ago and leave trails like the Rubicon to younger drivers now. No walker yet.

Also… She’s alive. Cam break in is done. Tomorrow is: Install driveshafts and skid pans Install front end and bumper Put the shift boots back on Warm the engine up and redo the valves Remove the tee for the dual oil pressure senders …then drive.

@Skniper Oh yeah Steve’s still doing his thing, enjoying retirement. He’s still got Frosty the 100 and Bart the 62. And he’s still putting in the work helping me muscle transmissions on occasion too. He’ll probably see that I tagged him in a...

@overhanger still kickin' around? Nice!

I want to see pics of @overhanger lifted, lockered, and swampered walker.

Had some big assistance from @overhanger yesterday morning - we got the transmission in and the crossmember attached. The engine is fully supported now. I was right that the clutch was slightly off center, but instead of loosening the pressure...

Same here

The post is there, you must be on someone's ignore list.

This time, I checked the compression correctly (dry). 1: 180, 2: 180, 3: 185, 4: 185, 5: 180, 6: 185 idle vacuum -20 inHg (at 650-660rpm) timing set at 11 degrees BTDC

I've had this happen, blew out a side of the distributor cap, and the 2F still ran fine. I think it was due to poor ventilation allowing explosive gases to build up in the cap.

Chatooga River approach to Earls Ford, GA side.

Do you have a couple of long bolts with heads cut off to serve as guides for aligning the bellhousing, transmission, input shaft, etc. ? Guide bolts fit in the lower bellhousing bolt holes and help greatly with alignment.

At the Chatooga River today

Saw you on 28 by Fontana Village 😄 couple good 80s at the NOC too! Running the tail with double barrel boats up top is a bold move.

I recall leaving GSMTR in 2006 and going out tellico plains side and inadvertently running 129 back to robbinsville to the dismay of a few bikes n roadsters 😂 80 + armor + 37s = not quick
