Great, I'm about three hours from Orlando so I could pick up from your location. My entire projects is on hold until I get a new frame, mine is shot. PM me with details about price and timeline and we can go from there.
Know this is a long shot but I need to swap in a new frame on my 1987 FJ60. I've got leads on frames but they are either earlier FJ60 frames or FJ62 frames in various conditions and locations. I'd rather not have to do any cut and fab work on the frame, FJ62 requires you to move the motor and...
I need the Front Bumper for sure. Also looking for a new dash if it is in good condition (not cracked). How are the rear sill and both rear side panels (inside of the rear quarters)?
If the frame is in anywhere near decent condition I'll probably need it. Pulled the body of mine yesterday and I'm looking at some money for frame repairs and it might not be worth it if yours is okay. Still plan on sandblasting and prime paint with epoxy anyway so long as there aren't holes its...
I'd like to learn to weld at some point, always cheaper to do it yourself, just got a long list of stuff I already want to do the cruiser. The frame is coming off for sandblasting and new paint, I'll be re-gearing the diffs, swapping the trans, pulling the heads, hew hubs, redo the brakes, all...
I ended up finding a carrier that would do it for $3k, so $1 per mile which isn't bad from the other quotes I got. My advice is that if you have a non-operable that is out of the way is to get it first towed to the closest city with an interstate and then have a broker post you to the load...
You've got the right idea. If you have a car that is in an out of the way pickup location, find an agency in the nearest city with an interstate and have it towed to their yard. From there use a broker to post to the load board and see it you can get any offers on the full trip. If not then...
I don't have the tools/equipment or any experience when it comes to welding so I need to hire someone on that. Basically there are so many holes, some small, some large, throughout the undercarriage that you would end up replacing half of the steel, with several different cuts, especially in the...
He would basically need to cut out the floors from the firewall to the rear wheel wells. I had my auto body guy look at it, he has a idea or where and how is gonna cut, I'm going to leave it to him, its that corner where the rocker, floor, and fend meets that will be tricky, might cut it as one...
You're about right, $1.00 to $1.50 a mile so $3,000 to $3,500, most quotes in that area, I have got quoted lower but the price usually creeps up the farther along in the process I get. I'm doing a frame off resto so I'm all the way in, I'm not letting this think rot away on me.
Thanks, I didn't even know about MudShip, just posted something there, see what comes up. Still working with brokers but they keep overpromising and underdelivering.
Also, I understand this isn't cheap or easy and will probably cost a good bit, can't control the market but would like to lock in something dependable, I've been working with brokers and had this up on the load board for almost two weeks so I have an idea of the price, just gonna take what the...
I have a body shell (see pic) I need to get transported and I've been having trouble. Doesn't have to be delivered tomorrow but in the next few weeks as I have a spot reserved at the resto shop. Pickup has front loader and drop off is an auto body shop with a fork lift. Also will have casters to...
Also, finding a shop in my area (Southwest Florida) to fabricate the parts and then fold and weld them back together is hard, no one wants to touch it. Its a hard job that takes skill and the ones that might do it are charging big time. Getting the donor vehicle is the easiest and cheapest route...
Trip is from Idaho to Florida and is just about 3,000 miles. There is a front loader at the pickup location and a forklift at the drop-off (its an auto body shop).
I wish this thing was closer to me but finding intact floors for a FJ60 is not easy, I check the partouts here almost everyday...
Idaho to Florida, a touch under 3,000 miles. This is going to be used for parts. I need this for the front and mid floors and their supports, especially where the midfloor pan meets the wheel well and rocker panel as it has disintegrated pretty badly. No one really fabricates these parts, some...
