I am going to pass along my Deal of the Day purchase from last winter. This is a 1983 combination power plant removed from a 60 series. As told to me… running when pulled, smokes a little on startup. Rebuild, run or core trade for someone in...

Everyone knows the best mod is stickers. I got 4 shirts and some stickers from @sofj45 - highly recommended

Had a little bit of time this morning and drilled out those two rivets from the backside of the tire carrier. I'm sure you are all dying to see what the internals look like. 😂 Throwing the three circled pieces in the "to be powder coated"...

My wife would scalp me if I used her Le Creuset cookware! You da man!

Check out this guys channel, he has some good stuff and speaks our language so easy to pick up what he's laying down..

It’s a 240, my sons. It’s on the long list of projects…..

When I finally get the 69 back to swap to the 76 chassis Delancy built I’ve definitely got concerns how best to deal with the hood. Wish louvers would solve clearance problem.

Not a problem at all brother. Like I said this is family. It’ll get sorted and is definitely a quick fix. Safe travels today and I’ll catch ya soon. 🙏🤙🤘 -Joe

Man I can not wait to see this out & done ❤️

From what I know the drivers window was acting up which isn’t abnormal but Jason was going to address it.

I had this looked at by another great mudder. Seller straight forward and honest about the rig. My independent inspection confirmed what the pics show. Frame reported to be excellent. Outside of paint, the engine started easy and idled well...

I have a red 89 FJ62 in Austin, rust free, been in TX all life.

Yup, I welded with a TIG exactly once many years ago, I’d love to learn it once I retire.

you live in A shop with multiple cruisers, whats the thing about rocks and glass houses?

As if seeing and hearing Steve wasn’t bad enough you do this!

IIRC it was around $750 but that included the frame and a box of smallish parts that bolt to the frame. The chemical cleaning and derusting was 2x that. If you want to read a bit more and/or ask more you might do it in this thread. Chemical...
