1968 fj40 resto

Absolutely beautiful work. I think you have skills and patience that most of us could only ever dream of.

I see you picked up one of the Busch HO scale FJ40s. Is that for your next model job? The other one that might work but be too big would be the FJ43 that Johnny Lightning produced a few years back. I think it's closer to 1/64 scale.

 

[JADCRUISER]

yes but I buy because is the color of my real one
I bpight one 4 years ago and I personalize like mine with the well caps and all moust
it was green and I paint beige ,and this new one is real beige!

Did the base screw out of the housing? It looks similar to the column reverse switch I have from a construction perspective and was wondering if the electrical connector unscrews from the metal housing or if it was a crimp fit.

The detail is amazing, thanks for sharing all the pics

 

[JADCRUISER]

Yes like the Hindu say "exactly the same but totally different"
they are this,it came from the metal vacum housing,
