Builds 1964 FJ40 Build

[Doug_S]

If you're going to spray Imron...be ABSOLUTELY SURE that you wear a good respirator. That sh*t is very dangerous! Slightly less hazardous to your central nervous system is Deltron and for the money, I think that it's almost as durable as Imron. Just my .02.

I don't thik they said Pocket on them, but I will probably need a new one considering I can't even find the one that came with it

It was too aged anyway

Still geting this thing ready for paint..

Mocked up the tailgates, latches, sparetire carrier hinges, and latch for the carrier. Had to drill new holes for just about everything since the new panels and channel don't come predilled..

For my new c-channel where the part that the spare tire carrier latches too apparently had a backing plate on it as well. I thought I was never going to get thrugh those 3 layers of steel

Forgot to get a pic of the carrier while I was there, just the tailgates..

Next time I get to the shop and actually remember my camera I'll shot a pic of it mounted.

Finally....

Got my RamHorns back from ceramic coat. Turned out pretty good, he even had some tool to get them coated on the inside also. Now I just got to wait for him to do the bolts

 

[my64fj40]

Ohh. Forgot to ask.

Now that I have the manifolds and Iam getting ready to mount them, should I use those 3 piece gaskets or a full 1 piece gasket. Does it matter

Just noticed that I didn't post some more of the bling I have..

My buddy got me one of those 7in dual diaphram GM boosters from a swap meet..



And yes the chrome was his idea

 

[fj40_73]

chrome hehe

the only thing chrome does for me is rust. Send it to the powder coater.

heheheh chrome.

 

[my64fj40]

Couple quick pics..

Here is the spare tire carrier mounted up.

Drilling holes is starting to get old...I wanna paint

 

[my64fj40]

The adapter came in from MAF..

Bolted right up to the booster and firewall like a charm..




Also it looks like it came powdercoated, little perk I didn't know about. MAF's pic shows it zinc. If anybody wants to do power brakes I think MAF's GM kit is probably the way to go.

tundra booster question

does anyone know if this booster off of a Toy Tundra would work for this application? I don't know anything about the dimensions or whether it requires some sort of electrical computer hook up. Anyone know?

 

[jackbrad]

[my64fj40]

Finally....


Got to put some paint down.

Put a coat of Corlar on. This is still a primer. Gonna let it cure then sand this real smooth. Then topcoat with Imron Maybe one day I'll be able to mount this tub to the frame

 

[my64fj40]

I was pleased with my bodywork. No 20k job but good enough for me


I did leave the tack welds slightly visable for all yall purists out there.

Seriously, I can't believe how good that looks man. I'm incredible jelious, the time, the money, effort, and patience. Wish I had them all. Good work, nice looking rig, can't wait to see it all mounted and finished.
