Builds 1963 FJ45 SWB in Cavalry Blue

[Honger]

So prep on the floor went on and then an application of lizard skin prior to a repaint of the floor.

And in the midst of that work our solution to the bed arrived from Aqualu...

You have to cut the top horizontal part from the vertical sides and glue it to the top roof flange. The rest glues to the door as normal.

Owner wanted to sell it... and it's already sold to someone who DM'd me a few days ago. Ha! The MUD vultures are quick.

Got this stinker ready to take to upholstery, and we took it around the block a couple times. When to our bewilderment she started burping through the carb. It got progressively worse so I started investigating. Cylinders all were 165+ psi, vacuum 15 at idle. #4 cylinder made whooshing sound when getting psi reads. Popped the valve cover off and what did I find?
It’s amazing that cast parts don’t always brake off but will bend.

Anyone have a 1F exhaust rocker for sale?

In the meantime, she’s sure looking good!
