I coined the term about 18 years ago and someone actually made stickers. @orangefj45 ….
What Google thinks a Georgled sticker is

The level of satisfaction when you make an entire brake system and there are no leaks and bled out properly is hard to convey

This is THE tool. This cap works on Non ABS 80 masters and clutch masters. One man job

Alternator made it but the water pump didn’t. City Racer sells the proper pulley to make the rebuilt ones fit a single belt

I took a couple days off this one and snagged a FJ60 from New Orleans and spent the day yesterday stripping a 40.

They are shooting a movie out here tomorrow and they will be using the shop for a scene. They made it where it can be a paint booth after the shot on the lift. It will be some car not this 45 in the scene

I also had to work in some honey doo’s

This morning I slapped the new water pump on and started building

Getting a 2F with fan clutch in these early trucks takes some work.

First the supports for the radiator. I egg them out and push the radiator as far forward as the frame will allow.
I did not have a 75+ shroud so the early one got modified. I’ve done this 3 sided shroud on 3 other trucks. No cooling issues

A 60 fan has the proper backspace to clear the radiator but the tips are usually too long so I clearance them on the belt sander

Early 40s don’t come with heater control valves and people use some full on garbage most times.

@ToyotaMatt just released this slick little number to clean that up and make it easy for the driver to use

Pictures next to his little block heater cover kit

Litter Mates. Still blows me away.

Chevy is here for a movie shoot tomorrow. Hallmark thing with John Schneider in it. I’ll post more pics tomorrow

Maybe you can make an appearance!

I’m here to make sure they don’t die under the lift (a)

Drive the Can Am while they film my sisters horses running (b)

I might die of boredom honestly

I could care less about old cars but this one is pretty pimp
