Imma pull this build thread out of my 66 Suicide Slab thread since I'm gonna start ramping it up now that the weather is warm.
If the engine turns out to be no gouda, or something else is going to take more than a couple of weeks to get running, I might switch back to the stinkin lincoln so as...
I've done a buncha build threads. I like doing it. Keeps me honest. Reminds me to take lots of pics. Potential buyers can just look at a thread. People can follow along if it's something that interests them. Searches get people to maybe get some ideas. But since I've divested myself of Cruisers...

not affiliated, but I live in BR and am reasonably familiar with these vehicles if you want the scoop on it.

About a year ago I bought a 1986 4runner off of Craigslist. The owner said he bought it after the PO had done a HG. Then it quit running and he couldn’t get it started. I called, told the guy I was an hour and a half out and to please call if he sold it. He got lots of calls, but told them I was...
I have a 73 Fj50 on 80 suspension and axles and a Chevy drivetrain. I am looking for someone in the NW Michigan area to work on it because I don't want to anymore. I need a guy who is Toyota and GM master certified who is willing to come to my house and put drive shaft bolts in. Must be willing...

May 21st.
I need a shakedown for Pig 2.1.
To be honest, it looks like a drier version of the Cliffs. Not much rocks. Mostly hill climbs and valleys. The only thing it has going for it is it's proximity to The...
Wife got an A&E TV series called Longmire from the library to watch in my truck on a recent road trip. Episode 2 had a couple of short scenes with a blue and white well patinaed LV. Didn't get mentioned in imdb cars listing, but I know I saw it.
My house in the Chicago area is not selling. I'm paying for two mortgages and we're not going to be able to keep it up for much longer. The LV is sitting there being an asset that's not being used. I'm going to lose money selling it unfinished, but it seems better than the alternatives.
1964...
Finances demand that I sell the LV. The house in Naperville isnt selling. Lots of bad advice from the first realtor had us spending a bunch of money on a house that is now priced below what we had it for before spending the money.
So buy my house, or buy my LV.

I'm in need of some measurements if anyone has an early hood handy.
I have a 64 non-removable hard top SWB 45. It now has a removable hard top and fold down w/s hinges. I need to put some bumpers on the hood. I have no holes in the hood to get references from. Can someone please measure how far...
Looks like I need to lift the 45 a bit. The springs are just whupped. I'm on the bump stops now and it's causing me exhaust and driveshaft issues. Anybody got any good early stock or 2.5" 40 springs?
My FHT SWB was built in 3/64 according to Spector's charts.
It has a 65 brass tag that was typical of vehicles sold after the VIN plate date.
It is titled now and was titled originally as a 66. I went to have it changed and it's a big hairy deal. I just got the original license plate for the...
