What did I do?
Dropped it off this morning at Over the Mountain Cruisers for a baseline inspection. Dropped the keys in the box and heard my phone ring...INSIDE THE LOCKED RIG! Drove back home and dropped off my wife and my dog, turned around and went back to get my phone. At least I remembered to bring the second set of keys.
Dude. Take a nap, eat a bowl of cereal and pretend you’ve started a new day
 
It's a beautiful fall day in Virginia. Took it out for a quick drive this morning. Then had to get some pics of it in front of the cabin my Grabdfather and his brothers built when they were teens. It's just past my place. Then came home to tear into the newly acquired 8274 I picked up last week.

What was the reason for going with this air cleaner setup?
Other than cleaning up the engine bay.
 
Engine jewlry right there.Maybe I can get lucky and find one to restore, $$$$.
 
454 with some slight internal dimension changes. Never had it on a dyno but based on other builds with same/similar parts that I copied, I should be in the 600ish hp range. Hence, why I’m content with a slow cruiser….
It’s not pretty but it is fast as….. Whenever our house sells and we find a new place I’ll start the bodywork on it.

Damn that’s a nice car! Is it a 68 or 69?
 
Went exploring over the weekend. Northwest FL Water Management District. Trying to find good campsites close to home. Only had time to visit 2 sites but found some pretty decent ones near the Choctawhatchee River.

Day 2 SEMA:

Greg’s Restorations has a sweet LS FJ40. And I took a few more pictures of that FJ40 body from yesterday. They claim it’s $10k for this entire package and it can be shipped in a month. The roof is metal too…

Overall, It’s not perfect, but I would be hard pressed to not consider it on a build.
