The latch that locks when the door is closed to keep it shut broke about 3 miles in. So my girlfriend had to hold the door shut for a little till we got to Miller lake. Had to rip handles off of a grocery bag to tie it shut for the rest of the drive, worked out pretty good.

The wagon didn't come out to play last summer, so I never got to fixing broken door.
Finally took it apart last winter and discovered that the spring that holds the star shaped door latch thingi was broken. Amazingly Ace hardware had the correct spring to replace broken spring.

I also modified a early 1 barrel air cleaner to make it work with the 2 barrel carb that i have on the LV. Replacing the one that was on there which had been modified by Wardens Auto Repair years ago to allow room for dual circuit master cylinder on my 69 FJ40. Also giving it the correct looking air cleaner.

I had another photo shoot opportunity the other day so i pulled the wagon out of storage and got it ready to head to the American river in Colfax. Raced some big rigs on the way.

Awesome build awesome journey you have been through with your LV! I was wondering what you did with your exhaust i noticed in your early pictures that you still had the down pipe coming to the outside of the frame and same for the muffler like original. Did you end up keeping the down pipe and using it with your build or is it up in the rafters of your garage somewhere. One of the last pieces of the puzzle of getting my customers on the road is all the exhaust piping, we have a muffler from SOR but dont have any of the piping. If you or anyone you know has any parts to an LV exhaust please reach out! Thank you and keep driving yours!
If I may... I had a local exhaust shop bend all the tubing for mine. For all intents and purposes, it looks just like the original down pipe to the muffler. I can take pics. From the muffler back, I asked the shop to go over the axle and exit behind the driver's side rear tire instead of exiting in front of it as I see so many do. You can see the pipe ahead of the muffler and where it exits behind the rear tire in this pic.
