Build 1966 LV “Operation Yellow Submarine back on the road”

[CRZR45]

Lined the big back bumper. Leaving it as it adds protection from backing into things. Couple more pics.. hopefully pick it up in a week or so and reassemble.

Oh Man, that looks great! Can't wait to see it all together!

 

[CRZR45]

Wet sanded and polished around door handles so I could mount them. Paint is a mirror. Should look good once whole truck is cut and buffed

Of all the things to lose... THAT may be among the worst. These are quite a bit different than a FJ40, as I understand it.

[CRZR45]

Dang. Trash went out yesterday sorry
Edit!
Garage trash did not go out! They are yours (you pay shipping or come to Sunny Pismo)

Had to cut off the booger welded (looks like a stick weld job) pto winch plate and bumper.. looks like someone had 12 beers then started to weld together a winch mount… I’m cleaning it up and putting a stock pewter color bumper back. Saving the PTO winch and Tcase box for next future owner if they want it.

 

[CRZR45]

My lost transmission cover found! He did not say where but could have been at sand blaster or something and got mixed up with other parts..?

 

[CRZR45]

Upper rear 1/4 panel cut and buffed.

 

[CRZR45]

Doors sanded and polished. Getting closer…Hood front fenders and cowel next to be sanded and polished.

Sweet color, I guess yellow was not good enough for you.
