He will jump in with a blade between his teeth and there will be no need for baits and hooks
So we go grab my 200 in the trailer lot and some ants decided they wanted to hitch a ride to Lake Miccosukee.
I made sport of killing them for two hours while I followed John up through Apalachicola National Forest.

Last time I was at the @jomelo farm he was in the process of building the shop and arcade so I had to spend a bit of time looking things over
John is a pinball and game geek as well as a Ham Radio guy so I had the grand tour of all those cool toys. Played a game. Sucked. Left to look at Crusiers.

John has a auto shipper on speed dial but a few months ago he acquired this removable top SWB Fj45 that was restored by @ClemsonCruiser
I’m a huge fan of JPs builds so getting to lay hands on the SWB made for good reason for me to pick up Mustard in person.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better resto mod 45. I could go on and on but here are a few pics instead.

Those both look great! Cheers!

I told you this thing was nice. Exceptional.
This was my maiden voyage to tow any distance with my 200 series. It’s about 9 hours from Lockwood’s to Tilda Bogue. The 200 did good. I added a bit of tongue weight….got a little squat on the Dobinsons and hauled ass. 9.3 mpg in comfort. Could have driven to California

Just start unbolting. We are just keeping the yellow parts.
Late to the party, but now subscribed. Great thread! Lockwood and I have at least 2 things in common.
Mustard version 1.0 officially had its last drive today.
I took it for a spin and did a baseline feel for the acceleration and ride. The plan is to improve both quite a bit. This is such a great truck as is but is about to be phenomenal
Had to knock the Florida sand out before I pulled it in for a start.

They look great. Going to be one of the better upgrades.
That cat is still in the bag
So, you're saying Cowboy is enjoying the seats?
