Me after all this work

Little picture of me behind the scenes

The shields and the fuel filler neck has been restored and made I’ve welded on custom bolts 10mm and made the custom heat shields larger than OE so it can block out heat and sound

Super nice work! You have convinced me to get some heat shield material. I like the custom brackets, much better!

What are you using for heat shield? I need to do this too eventually. My ass was HOT after driving cross country for a week straight.

I cut & shaped it myself and rounded off the edges inward, very easy to do, the brackets and holes I made custom and welded nuts on the inside so I can tighten the heat shield on to it, making a couple more. These are very easily shaped you can do it by hand literally.

Form-A-Shield™ - 12" x 21"

Capable of withstanding direct heat of up to 1400°F+, non-adhesive Form-A-Shield can be affixed directly to exhaust headers, manifolds, turbo housings, and downpipes dramatically reducing radiant exhaust temperatures.

One of the guys posted this, it’s better than what I did I think, simpler and faster
But if you go back couple pages you’ll see my Amazon links

Reading back a few pages and saw the tape you used on the harness hopefully you have luck with it especially under the hood. I used the Tesa brand same thing and it doesn't hold up to heat. Had to switch it out to something else
Will get super soft and melty

Paint looks good!

Original booster, just cleaned up and painted, do these have diaphrams inside that go bad should I get a new booster ??

Also welded on the bracket for the e brake on to the rear fj40 diff cover because the 62 has a bracket there apparently … gonna paint it again

Looks fantastic! Not sure if you want stickers too?

Yes where did you get these from

 

[cps432]

Those boosters do go bad. If it’s original it’s likely on its last leg. But if it works run it.

Sound proofing this incredible top secret vehicle that no one knows about except you that way you won’t hear my Barbie music when I jam it

Are you doing the roof too? That thing is like a drum head bouncing around up there.

Oh yeah of course, and then going to try to setup a sound system

Cruiser Matts made these bomb fuel sending units … I ordered mine right away with the fuel pump assembled it’s on the way. Bought the fuel pump with him too, looks so neat

 

[MWM1]

This looks amazing! I've put both Matt's fuel pump hanger and his exhaust headers on my Christmas list. Fingers crossed!
