You did a realy good job for all your project ( $$$$$$ ).
Do you thinking about building a prototype or something ?
I will eventualy try to do Banderiante 4 door like tlc did !

I got lot of question it's up to you ( if you don't want to anser or if you don't understand my realy realy poor english sorry).

1- Do you work in this field ( mecanic , welder or something) ?
2- Do you eventualy sell your fj to work on something else ?
3-Why Toyota (for my self it's the shape, the icon , i began my works with 1983 toy p-u and 1990 toy p-u all frame off)
4-What is the ccor and the ccor girls ?
5-And the last question but THE BIGEST TO ME i got a fj-45 top from 1967 and i got hook..... the windshild is a 1979 it fit but got only hole for bolt. For your fj do you only put bolt and what kind of weatherstrip gose between the both.

It's very difficult here in Quebec and i think it's the same all around Canada Toyota dealer don't have all the pices for fj and they don't do bussines with U.S.A. .


Thnx you !
Keep the good work and remember the WORLD watching you !

About 2.5 on the lpb tonight....nothing special.

Finished installing the drivers side glass and crank mech. that went good. Bolted on the crank assembly for the spare tire carrier onto the x-member. Used the handle for the first time, cranked down the holder. Fastened the tire and cranked it back up....worked great.

Did a few other misc. things. I have the new chrome door window tracks (courtesy cruiserdan), waiting to install those until after paint I think.

[buckroseau]

bike is looking sweet!!!

Thanks! I'm happy with how it looks also......but, your not helping the cruiser project here.

I was trying to get myself psyche'd up to work on the box this weekend because I want to work on that bike so bad. Now...it might be the bike

Thanks, Matt

 

[buckroseau]

I'm interested in your painting technique - How will you blend the painted areas with the new paint. Is this a base/clear job and will you use the clearcoat to blend?

Obvious question: why not paint all the exterior surfaces first and then install the glass? Just wondered... As an amateur painter, I'm always interested in other folk's techniques.

Thanks,

Steve

I'll look for the explanation about 5 or 10 pages back...unless someone else finds it first

Mort aux vaches ...Marc...

Hi Marc,

Yes I remember you and I'll try to answer your questions.

1. No, don't work as skilled welder, mechanic or anything. I am involved in the hardware business. As a kid (13) I started working for my dad in a farm implement dealership assembling and working on farm machinery. Tractors, combines, cultivator's...etc.. Got a lot of hands on mechanical experience at a very young age...including welding.

2. No, I don't eventually sell my cruisers.....yet Or at least no one has boughten any yet

3. Not really sure why Toyota, specifically landcruisers? Probably the same reason's as you.....I love the look and the history mostly.

4. "CCOR" stood for "Crusty Cruisers of Roseau" Long story and stupid, friend of mine coined the phrase, mostly making fun of Cool Cruisers of Texas. Eventually it became Crusty Cruisers. I really need to get that off my site. The CCOR girls are Atlanta Hawk cheerleaders. I was in Atlanta, GA 3 or so years ago and went to the season opener game. Cheerleaders were at the front door taking pics with everyone. I just used it on my site....stupid, I know

5. Can you post a pic, not really sure I understand the question.



And your english is fine for the most part. It's way better than my French!!

Thanks, Matt

Matt I think I can clarify the #5 question. Marcfj-45's windshield frame fit up. He has a stock 1979 frame, with a 1967 top, what he needs is a bow piece from a newer hardtop so it can be bolted to the front of the windshield frame instead of using the 5 hold down latches on a 1967 windshield to top mount. HTH, John Pardi. PS my dad was born in Montreal, Quebec. But I can't speek French.

Only one update so far this month??

What happened to Buckroseau??

 

[merbesfield]

He probably has a life besides cruisers.

 

[buckroseau]

Still here, just trying to kick ass and take names lately on the bike......;p

And, no.....I really don't have much of a life outside cruisers....maybe just a little one


If you guys want a few pics of the bike I can post them up? I have been working on it fabbing parts. Probably doesn't look a lot different, but it is moving along. Hoping to go to paint on it in a week or so and try to finish it up.

Just didn't know if I would ruffle anyone's feathers by posting a few more pics of it?

Matt

 

[Mongolman]

bike ok for me!

I would sure like to see some pics of the bike. I have been lurking here watching all your projects and learning a lot. Wish I had a better shop here in Mongolia but some day.

Thanks for taking the time to post all you are doing.

What are you using for the headliner?

I see you said you got it from yourautotrim.com

Could you give us more specifics?

Is it this one? http://yourautotrim.com/whiteperf.html
That looks close to the original.

HOW did you apply this? 3M adhesive? What did you do with the edges (of the headliner)? Did you just put it on?

Thanks and keep up the project!!

I'd like to see them! Sometimes you need second project to keep you from going insane slaving over the first. Some might call that ADD, but what do they know.

I doubt you will ruffle any feathers... go ahead and post them. I wont be deleting them unless woody orders otherwise.
