This thing is beautiful. I am having difficulty wrapping my head around the hammer-toned items but I hope to warm up to them. :)

Thank you for the compliment also. It’s been a process, but starting to be worth it. :)

Today, I was able to get the fuel tank in, lines ran, fuel spout and cap in. Until I get a tank of fuel ran through, I’m doing a double inline fuel filter just to be safe and filter all debris if any.

Was perusing your thread-- very detailed build with much attention to detail--- love it!!
 
Did the Front Bib, Grill, and emblem today. Headlight assembly on these are tricky, or at least for me. Came out nicely. I put the grill in just to secure it and check fitment. Waiting on my headlight bucket springs, and the plastic tension inserts.

UPSIDE DOWN!:crybaby:
 
I looked at 2 photos online too and both were wrong. So glad I paid attention. Wow, you guys catch it all. I love it!!!
 
:clap::cheers:
 
This weekend, I was able to get the pedals in, and brake and clutch cylinders. Gonna try and make some lead way this week on the wiring and 3-speed shift components....

The gas pedal never had a pad originally. Where did you get that one? I like it.
 
I think I bought it as a 3-pedal rubber kit from SOR.
 
Tonight was progress. I was able to get the “dreaded” 3-speed shift assembly installed from transmission up to steering wheel. Also got the 4WD shift assembly and lever pivots in.

This is just like a bowl of candy, SWEET!
 
Please take detailed pics of the dash switch and wiring install. I have 1966 FJ45 with a butchered harness that I will be replacing with stock once I get to that point.

I'll be using your thread as a reference for my re-build, great job!
 
Not a problem. Hit me up anytime with pics. @Rock40 & myself took well
Over 1,000 of them. In fact, in the near future I’m going to cataloging them in digital folders by: pre resto, during, assembly and so on and I will have available to give away for reference builds if people are interested?. It will cost a USB stick and a stamp.
