Back to Cruiser mode… Getting kinda wishy-washy on which direction to go - was concerned about getting sliders built a couple weeks ago, now I’m concerned about getting the hood over the engine bay. Need to look in to getting the hood louvered...

My body guy keeps cutting back until he gets to pretty much 100% intact metal. He is making all kinds of body parts as he goes along.

That was really good 👍🏼 He brought up a ton of points that could spin off into many good conversations. I’ve been watching quite a few Wray Schelin videos on bodywork lately, and he’s pretty staunch on the use of TIG for all sheetmetal patch...

“50” has nothing to do with bore. It’s casting information for the manufacturer (ART PISTONS).

Baking parts in oven 😉

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

Broke it. Had to go back to get the Ford to fetch it. Huge props to @joesfj40 for all the help.

Please reconsider white letters out. I have to totally agree with @janyyc, that's so 1975. I guess fads ultimately come full circle as I am starting to see more of that lately.

Re: tires I’d recommend to take another look at 235/85… I switched from 265/75 and am much happier. Not sure how much gravel driving you do, but without flares the 265’s absolutely demolish your wheel arches. Even the 235’s are better with some...

Which pic Bob?

I recall going through all the same hassle when putting the FJ60 axle back together. Made me appreciate full-floaters even more.

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!

Good to see you today. Everything goes to upholstery on Monday!

I got the chiller and got all of my TIG torches assembled so I can quick change between them... I've actually been pretty busy between building a fuel injection system for the Diamond T, redoing the cooling system to remove some Chinese on the...

All of our Admin Assistants in Saudi were Filipino. Great, great people.

@bobm I was getting ready to make a new sticker for the chiller..... But I just found out my China Chiller is Filipino... Well now what..

Put the axles in this afternoon and thought I had a major issue. The spacer wouldn't go in once I had the axles in. Remember that I have now swapped the diffs so this spacer went with these axles but not with this diff. It was very, very close...

She actually didn't mind although I did take a bit of precaution by lining it with aluminum foil. I didn't have a small cast iron skillet with a lid and I needed something with a lot of heat retention given the distance to the shop. We use the...

Well!! Tell us about the Marinade 😋🤣🤣🤣

If you buy the retaining ring rims you can still run radial tires with tubes. You just have to buy tubes specifically made for radial tires. I assume they are just thicker given the additional flex of radials vs bias plys.

I am waiting to hear back from a company that fits out LCs here in Canada for the mining industry. They have a lot of the split wheel rims cheap. I don't mind getting those unless there's a downside I don't know about. Assuming some garages won't...
