Door panels glued up, I stressed about it far more than I should have. I used the following items. It was much easier than I expected. I used the little paint brush to apply the cement to both the wood panel and the back of the vinyl as...

Thank you!!

I found them in this thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-john-denver-fj40.1376678/post-16277497 And then I reached out to him here and got all the details.

I also got a package from UPS today. Something about carts and horses….Shout out to @a1500ram for beautiful work!

Got the body back from the blaster/coater. Just a couple of spots that need attention.

You are doing more than most of us ! LOL

You are deeply wrong about the things we find boring. Sending emails about my 2027 operating budget? Boring. Looking at Land Cruiser parts in primer? Not boring. Nice build, keep the updates coming!

And despite the lack of posts, I was busy getting parts to the blaster and prepping them. I just didn’t want to bore anyone with random shots of parts with gray primer.

I also found a photo of my ‘40 around the time I had bought it. And I also found a photo of an ‘85 FJ60 I had for a couple of years. I kick myself everyday for selling it because it was damn near perfect.

Thread revival, it’s only been a year. I dropped the body off at the blaster this morning. I had finally got my metal fixed using panels from CCOT and Real Steel.

Got my lines and curves back.

Hi all, I am attempting to design a new tool for aligning the knuckles. The goal is to make something that is a lot cheaper and is more fool proof. Here is a video running through the basic idea. I would love some feedback.

Since this was on my to do list, here it is. 1975 original Turn ket to acc, push in pin and pull out assembly. New locks from City Racer. Turn key to acc and push in. Done.

That’s what i was trying to figure out. Sounds like the locking cylinder will work in my non locking steering column according to that thread. The locking ones are cheap and plentiful. Thanks. I will find a locksmith just to see if he can make a...

Nice 40, I wonder who that belongs to.

Why rebuild and restore just one 85110-90303 FJ40 1975-1977 wiper motor? I’ve figured out a process and am considering building a restore “kit” and getting the brushes made to spec as it’s tedious sanding them down to fit.

Bingo! Looks like to just need a different switch or to change out the terminals.

This thing?

My top is a ‘75 (I think 🤔). It’s measuring 26 3/4 inches from the top to the piece that rests on the tub. Yours mounting does looks different than mine.

I don’t post up here much, but I just wanted to give an update as a 40 obsessed member, and sometimes a slightly ok small time vendor. I’m being “sent away” for military obligations to who knows where for who knows how long. I hope to come...

I have one under my Rochester 2 bbl, it was given to me so I put it on back in like 83. It was a Man-a-fre product. Someone posted a pic from their catalogue with all the "claims" My opinion, more mixing of air/fuel can't hurt. The rig came...

Brian = You are right. The lip that I thought was part of the pipe was actually a piece of the old grommet. Thanks everyone . You would not believe how much time ive spent on this 5 minute job.

Maybe a little rubber grease and massage it down onto the pipe? Or the pipe itself is buggered up?

I sold my last set.
