Gave it the old clr and fluid film today. Cleaned the glass as well. I've found as long as my rust is clean the neighbors don't complain as much. Gotta seal the paint when it's not 1,000,000 degrees F outside. Before: After: -
I think one more sand and recoat after I get back from vacation. The frames are just set in place. I've ordered a 3mm piece of fiberoptic cable and a light driver to see if I can't make them light up when the doors open. Hopefully, my back...

Big thanks to @sterling for his donation of this brand new front visor! He wouldn't even let me pay for shipping. Thank you sir!!

Leafs are all disassembled, wire wheeled, POR15ed. New spring pad sliders. Waiting on new spring clamps and bushings. Center bolts are weird. 3/8 bolt with 5/8 bushings on either end that go in rubber isolators. I'm just gonna make new ones. The...

Indeed. The Crusher Dodger. Got my 45 back too

It still doesn't look like much but I'm pretty stoked to see my stripped and abandoned carcass of a 40 reach a stage where I consider it a "completeish" roller. It's pretty encouraging to see it at least resemble a complete vehicle. As a bonus...

Pressed out the fixed bushings and sandblasted some of the parts today. A serious Suicide Slab custom shop in CA offered free parts on the faceballs slab group that he was cutting out of a 66. He was kind enough to cut the spring pack to send me...

Got the axle out, stripped, wire wheeled, and painted with POR-15. Bearings and gaskets ordered. 9-3/8 ring gear. Weird thing ford did to upgrade the 9" in the 60s behind the 462. A 9 inch fits in the same housing and axles. I might downgrade to...

Haha, thanks but, not really ... Ditto for the wheelbase :lol: It's stretched a fair bit. 100% mongrel but it's fun. I have a long winded meandering build thread for it somewhere, but this is a pic from the ass end as I was finishing...

Looks a bit different now.

Speaking of which, I received a package today from Mr. @Chungas Revenge himself! The repeated generosity of cruiser people has lead me to the conclusion that cruiser karma has to be real and these rigs must be more than just simply Japanese...

Scored some more parts. Random bits off eBay, 50 for defrost tubing and another 50 for the boxes of misc. Pieces and lamps. The big item here is the windshield frame, complete with glass, hinges, wiper motor and rearview(600+ship) Thanks again...

Hadn't had the pleasure of welding overhead while lying on my back for a while. It was just as unpleasant as I remembered.

Started working on the replacement panel, I'm going to deviate a little bit from factory construction here and overlap (underlap?) my patch under the inner rocker pinch weld and attach with plug welds. From the top it should look basically...
