You had to make me get out the microfiche reader didn't you?

On another note....I have a microfiche reader

So far I have the fiche for 65 and 67 FJ45LV (V). I need to find a 64 though.

I have a microfiche reader also But, I might be installing this stuff this weekend so this is better.

You are one sick puppy Mike for having that on hand

I am still glad you have it, should work !!

I'll have to check my fiche tomorrow....I might have earlier, or it might be the same as treeroot's. There's no legible date on the top band of the fiche on mine, so I actually have to dig my reader out too. I know mine covers 66 though, because that's why I bought it.
In fact, at some early point, they are no longer on fiche and go to a book, but I don't recall the year.

Got a lot of time in on the lv today and tonight, and got the inside jammed

Left work around 2:30 and I was spraying the first color by 3:00 pm. I just finished about 10 pm tonight, so a solid 7 hours painting, long hard work.

Needless to say, I think it turned out extremely well, very happy with it. I'll let the pics do the talking, have quite a few tonight. Let it dry all night and tomorrow and might be doing some assembling this weekend?

I have no idea what I'm going to do for the rubber around the window wing. Matt

i know TLC in van nuys used to sell reproduction rubber for the entire LV.

Side note. I just ordered it and have them sitting right here. Not sure if I purchased enough, but I picked up 3 rolls. Looks like it will work great as long as it doesn't shrink.

Also, I spoke with TLC4x4 this morning about the bug catcher/wind wing weather stripping. They have them in stock, but my wife had to bust out the difibrillator after I heard the price. I'm back now and should make it, but for now I will continue to explore other options.
