Hi Josh. Any updates? I hope you and your family and the rest of the Paradise community are getting your lives back together.
I spent an evening this past fall (September) camped next to a very nice man from Paradise. We chatted for a long while over a beer or two, and although I know his name is Bob, and he drives a white Tahoe with “Nam Vet” plate on it, I never got his last name. I hope he and his dog got out ok... If you ever see that rig around town, I’d love to hear about it.

Finally got around to watching the video,. I am still amazed at all the work you had to to do to get all of that to fit into a fj40 engine compartment..
I didn't think you could top the 3b diesel one you did but I really think you topped it... Your attention to detail is great.,.

That really means a lot
… This cruiser has really tested me in so many ways that I often wasn’t sure I could get through it… The end result really has lifted my spirits and enthusiasm for the future of car building 
Thank you again for your support

I have so many projects to get done in the next year it kind if makes my head spin thinking about it
… Here is what I have lined up:
1974 Fj40 Hardtop and doors restoration
1954 Chevy Truck chassis build and engine setup
2007 Harley Street Glide paint Job
1987 GMC Crew Cab Short bed 4x4 with a 2007 Cummins 24 valve
Another 1954 Chevy truck C4 Corvette suspension setup…
The list goes on and on!! Eventually I have three more cruisers to build: 1977 BJ40, 1977 FJ40, and my 1961 FJ40… I also have a guy who is a Cummins engineer I met while building this cruiser who wants me to build him a R2.8 Cummins powered 1973 FJ40…
All this and I’m trying to move to Tennessee by early next summer lol!! Yeah…
