    Yes, still for sale. No problems with fiberglass. It is kept in garage majority of time. When paint was done added some supports inside to help stabilize. Interior did not change to much. I will try and get some pictures of interior this week. Thanks, Brian

    Nice, I'm up in Fort Wayne, but I work in Indy often. It would be nice to get together with some cruiser enthusiasts around the area for some beers or a ride.

    It's been a long winter, but spring is finally here in Indiana! I wanted to update a few projects I took on since I got it back from paint. First thing I started is something I should have done before paint, but that's how it goes. I have a fiberglass body and the fresh air intake vent was...

    Man do I love looking at your pictures! If you get time, would you give me a measurement of the metal air cleaner intake? Mainly just the rectangular end. I'm having a tough time locating one, so I'm going to see about getting one fabricated. Thanks, Brian

    I just got mine from Racer65 last week, looks great. Now, I need to find the inlet part #17751 and clamps part #17882A. Any idea where I can get my hands on the inlet? I'm able to locate the clamps online, but am having no luck finding the inlet.

    Thank you for the compliments. One problem I want to address in the near future is the spare tire carrier. I salvaged a stock one and had it all painted and ready to install, but since it mounts to the rear corner of the body and my body is fiberglass, it's probably not a good idea. Does...

    After stripping down the doors and removing the windows from the old top sides, I conclude that the original color was beige. So I decide I am going to bring her back as close as I can to her original look. Beige, Single Stage. The research on what beige seemed pretty simple with the array of...

    What? That must be a typo! I have to believe you can get way more then that. Even though I'm not shopping for one, that price really has me interested. I'd sure like to see you get double that.

    Thanks for letting me know what type of body it is. I was curious and tried to do some investigating. We had to add some steel brackets and add some steel to a couple other locations, to stiffen it up for the doors and seat mounts. Now that we are done, I am very happy with it, other then a...

    Thanks. Yes, the guys at the shop were always telling me stories how when their other customers would come to pick up their vehicles, everybody would stop and talk about the 40. The day before I brought it home he said 5 people came by to take pictures of it. It is a great feeling having...

    After talking to a few friends and local body shops, I decided to go to Downtown Autobody Specialties. We went over my budget (literally) and time frame, then strike a deal. The next day I go home and gather my 40, and all my pieces parts I've collected for it (junk), and bring it all back to...

    Salvaging a top and doors. Towards the end of summer 2014 disassembled my hard top to see what all was salvageable. The top was good along with all the misc. header, gutter pieces, and the glass was good other then that the sides were pretty much shot with rust. I decided I needed to locate top...
