The Machinist

Also started the last LS swap before I move to Oregon. 6.0 with LS6 parts and a good cam with a nv4500. Going into a freshly painted silver 60

Redid the exhaust for my 60. All Ticon/stainlessbros tubing. Vibrant Vbands, resonator, and accessories. 20 something pie cuts an exhaust cut out and magnaflow muffler and cats. All 304 stainless backpurged. Just have to do the tailpipe next

Just realized I never posted about my trip to this year’s ONSC Carolina Relic Run This is definitely becoming one of my favorite events. I drove the 62 up with my girlfriend and my parents towed my FJ40 up. It was super cool to share what I do...

Modesto, Valley Hybrids Swap Meet, Lake Tahoe, and Upper Owens Valley road trip:

Assisted @cruiserinsanity with the tear down of the 3FE. Actually I don't think I lifted a wrench at all this afternoon on this, just checked on the progress periodically.

Sam straight gets down in the bmw that he tracks frequently and Ryan has a killer 60 he’s built. Good people. The bmw has basically unknown mileage. It’s great.

Driving up I-65 in Alabama, south of Montgomery, I had this ragged looking 518i BMW passed me. Passenger gave a big thumbs up and I returned with a thumbs up. Figured this was just two guys admiring another old vehicle on the road, but there...

So no progress on this motor as I’ve been building a T-case onto a friends new H55 for his 61. Put it in his post but worth sharing here as well…put new gears in the case which is a whole new experience. George @orangefj45 hooked us up. Have...

Been working on the new motor going in this truck. Was a long Block (rebuilt) when Ben and I picked it up in DC. Pulled the oil pan due to finding 4 piston oilers in a nut/bolt separater. All checked out but no idea why there’s 4 left over. The...

I’ve been preoccupied with life and this has been a turn key, park it up front at the valet kind of rig. A special thanks to @mattressking for the carb help. It’s running at peak tractor.

I think that dented door is as nice as my least dented door :lol:

I had one of the best wheeling days of my life in March 2022. Then I fell into a ditch leaving the park and beer canned the side of the truck. Not very awesome. The guys at classic cruisers hooked me up with a full set of clean Colorado sheet...

Some 60 porn for @HemiAlex: Deleting whatever was “extra” along the way. Fluid Heat Riser fell into this category. Simple is better.

Finally replaced my stretched, 40 year old handbrake cable. 46410-60100 Nice to have full functionality back!

Entered my local city car show. Lots of great cars and people. Won Best JDM vehicle award. Mind you I had tough competition myself being I was the only JDM car 😂 😂 Either way it was fun and bragging rights against the beautiful Chevy classics I...

I sold the GX. The dude is back to being my only insured vehicle. Leaving for a 5 month Colorado trip on Saturday. Here are some film pics from Arkansas

My 60 is back running after a long hiatus got the carb rebuild and adjusted the valves while I'm in there. Just need to smog and I could cruise again.

Free diesel installs at Jimmies? I’m intrigued.

For the “you were right?” Because I can call and whisper it in your👂 😂

Race to get Fitz a runner has me doing a quick head job. Head off: Check out #4. Notice the clean piston edges. Steam cleaned by some coolant leakage. Compression Check on #4 was zero both dry and wet. #4 was pushing into #5 Found out...

HDJ62 progressing nicely. 🤘🤘

Drove out to Bakersfield for the Bakersfield swap meet! Good turn out. and sold lots of stuff.

YOU CANT LEAVE UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED. ;)

Quick wash today top and bottom to clean her up after Relic Run.
