I got tired of them disintegrating so I bought silicone caps. Similar to these.

My Uncle told me about my Grandfather tuning his vehicles by placing a half-full glass of water on the engine or air cleaner and adjusting for minimum ripple.:cool:

I bought my cruiser in late '79. While disassembling the dash and defroster ducts (which never worked very well) I found a Social Security card wedged in the duct. I believe the guy I bought it from was the second owner and that's not the name on the card. If I can find the card again, I'll...

Mine is like that also. It's a 6/70 with power brakes. When I tried to buy brake parts years ago, SOR swore my tub had been changed, then a coworker bought one with very low miles and showed it to me. His was also 6/70 with 7/70 brakes.

Need to get your wife and daughter one of these.

No, it's a Bantam S. I wanted it as small as possible. The rep said it would cool the front seat but the people in the rear would be warm. Well, my rear seats have been out for a long time, I'll only have tools, parts and supplies back there. I'm more interested in the dehumidified defrost.

My AC parts came in. They'll have to go on the back burner until I finish a project to organize some cordless tools.

Got parts!

We need to get on a trail and use my drone for some pics.

I'd be in for a set too.

When I welded any kind of overlapping joint I used a weld through primer. I posted some pics of seams or joints I couldn't take apart. For those, I used some kind of rust encapsulator injected as best I could. Luckily, my cruiser had very little rust.

Finally finished the wheel wells, epoxy primed and Monstalined.

Sandblasted, powder coated and reassembled the pedal assembly. Almost ready for stretch wrapping.

My brother just sent me a link to this one. Not affiliated, never seen it before. 73 FJ40 for sale

This arrived yesterday afternoon. I've been waiting on it since October. When I get the Cruiser going, I'm going to get some good trail pics.
