bodywork

Long time lurker here, and have appreciated all that I've been able to learn from you guys as I've watched and read from a distance. I guess this first post will just be an intro to my cruiser and I'll add some more details below, as I've already commenced on the build. Bought my 1985 60 Series...

I keep getting requests for a "review" of Kelly Saad's work, or at least a thread on my HJ75, so I figured I'd start one now that I have some time off this Holiday season. Never, ever believe it when someone says a Cruiser is "rust free." Just because there is no visible surface rust doesn't...

I'm getting ready to do some body work on my 73 FJ, I want to replace the rear sill that's rotted away and do some patch panels in the corners. The rest of the tub is not that bad so I don't want to pull it off the frame. My question is can I replace the rear sill without pulling the tub?

Good morning everyone. Yesterday I was backing up my HJ45 in the yard, got distracted, and hit a tree! Did a good number to the tailgate. Any ideas/suggestions on fixing it? The body below the tailgate I can fix with a heavy hammer, but the tailgate worries me. You can see the panels...

Introducing rust Magnets, the best way to protect your ride from the casual thief. These easily removable Magnets will make that that opportunistic car thief reconsider your rust bucket behind the fence. Take them off for cars and coffee; slap them on when you head downtown to avoid carjackers...

This is a thread more than two years late but it has to start somewhere. Quick background: I have VERY little knowledge about cars and had never even considered a restoration project, let alone an FJ40. The first time I ever saw an FJ40 was in Phoenix while looking to buy an FJ80 for road trips...

Hi all, I'm driving from Virginia to SoCal. I'm looking for a passenger side fender w/molding for my green (preferably, any color will do) 1999 land cruiser. I'll be driving through TN I-40, AR I-30, Tx I-20 & I-10, Az I-10, does nobody has one for sale that I can pick up in my way home? Or...

I wanted to get a thread started to show all you good people my project. Another Project Rusty (seems like there are more than a few) I am going to document this series in Video form, with pictures as needed (pretty much only for you mud people) And here is a kick-off video. My buddy and I...

Finally got my 04 LX in to have the front and rear bumpers painted. When I took delivery of it, there was some undisclosed damage to the front bumper. Looked like the PO had hit a post or something and deformed the bumper brace and mount, and someone had done a very quick N dirty respray on...

I've got some rot on my DS rocker panel. It's about the size of a silver dollar, but it's gone pretty deep. Is my best bet to cut and weld a new piece on with it still on the truck? Or would I be able to remove the rocker panel and fix it that way? Thanks!
