1967 FJ45 Long Bed resurrection

[megolfer]

Awesome. Im guessing there is no scan of the books

 

[megolfer]

All cleaned up

 

[megolfer]

Few more

 

[wngrog]

Wow. Damn did you use that CLR that I keep hearing about? Paint looks awesome

 

[megolfer]

Still need to do some scrubbing but the 10 years of dirt is gone. Also got the shifter lubed up and working pretty decent

 

[megolfer]

Simple green and a pressure washer. Took me about 5 hours.

Before. It was a total mess

 

[megolfer]

Now I need to get some of that rust converter.

 

[BudKing]

The bed looks completely different with the box off and cleaned up.

 

[megolfer]

That box was pretty hideous. Also took the tire mount off the side

 

[middlecalf]

That camper’s going to look great in the rig

 

[Michael B]

Wow! That really cleaned up nicely. I like that color a lot. Is that red paint spilled on the hood and fenders?

 

[DomSmith]

I think that’s the old school primer...

 

[Michael B]

You should put some seem sealer bsck in those seems.

 

[megolfer]

Which seams.

I believe the red is primer

 

[Michael B]

At the base of windshield where the cowl has a seem, a lot of the original sealer is missing. This will allow water to intrude and start rust where you won't see it until its too late. You should check all of the cowl seems.

 

[wngrog]

Pleaaaaaaaaase don’t paint it. It’s glorious.

 

[megolfer]

It wont get painted. I love the color. I am planning to take it to a body guy to see if thry can hammer some of the dents out. But i will be very selective who i take it to.

 

[wngrog]

Dents are part of the personality

 

[megolfer]

Just a couple that are pretty bad

 

[middlecalf]

Just noticed clutch pedal is a bit low?
