Builds 1967 FJ45LPB resto-mod 1HDFT H55 build (3 Viewers)

[SNLC]

First coat of POR15 is down on axle parts. I am ready to do the second coat but it’s not ready for me. It’s got to be just right from my experience for the second coat.

Normally we would do this work after mock up on the build but we are still waiting on our H55 before we can really start in on the mock up. So to keep the ball rolling doing things that need to be done anyways.

Depending on market, all Cruiser diesels had the option of duel fuel filters. A primary and a secondary. We will be utilizing this along with stock mounting brackets.

So I always let the POR15 cure out and then clean up-scuff with red scotch pad.

After this I will top coat.

Will be very interested in seeing the fuel filter setup Ian.

Any reason you guys didn’t use the top with the fuel heater?

It will pretty much be the same as I did in the gold 70.

I didn’t think the fuel heater was worth the extra cost. We did get a new intake heater and we will be installing a block heater. Additionally I see this truck living in the garage.

Tagging you @cruiseroutfit because we really and I mean really need the H55. Everything else is in hand to start the layout, fab and build.

Totally get it, we want them as badly as you do! At any given time we have 1000's of parts en route to us from various sources, unfortunately dozens of them are parts people need really badly. One of these days I'll have a de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou that I can go get this stuff with

Probably too small. You’d need a 777F version monthly from Nippon.

Somebody on the forum is offering to really hook me up. I still want the H55 Kurt but he is going to solve my waiting game problem.

I just spoke one of your guys, we want to buy the H55, I am going to have you send it to Galen though as he is helping me out.

Look, we simply can’t allow a little old global pandemic to get in the way of forward progress. I’ll have this thing crated up for you and ready to ship today.

Teamwork... Cruiserheads rock!

All ready to go. Finally, I had a good use for some of the 300 lbs of bubble wrap from Partsouq.

Almost forgot, we got engine mount bolts the other day. We had to get these out of Japan, couldn’t find them anywhere else. Took over three weeks to arrive.

It's the "lttle" things like this that will set this build apart from others. Well done
