He's got several friends around that will jump right in when asked and put triple time on it iff needed. Between the say 4 of us, we've got MANY years and Cruisers worth of training.

Ya know... sometimes work isn't all that bad....
And as the ole saying goes... " You never know what is over the next hill and around the next corner."

While driving down this winding country road,

just outside of Nashville city limits,

I was going to a trouble call cause these folks didn't have any power.

As I turn the corner and he topped the hill,

What did my eyes see...low and behold it was a blue FJ40 coming right at me!!

In a moments notice I could see it was partially restored cause the driver was sitting on a milk crate.

I stuck my hand out the window of my bucket truck and waved the fellow down.

As he roared to a stop, band new mudders gripping the pavement,

I proudly exclaimed " HEY MISTER!! YOU ANIT GOT NO HOOD!"

Hahhahah... there is a song in there somewhere...

Anyway, that is when I met Trey. He is restoring a Blue 77 FJ40. And what fine job he is doing. I stopped we we talk for 30 mins or so... I figured he was on mud and he is not... He is doing this for the most part on his on!! I thought that was commendable!!

Anyway I didn't get any pics of his truck while we were in the road. But I did ask him to send me some.

So here are some before and after.

That's the same color as my first FJ40 before it became Zebranator I. 10/77.
 
Geeze... That hood looks dented. I hope it isn't.
