Builds 60 Frankenstein Build

[CaptClose]

Looks great Jim... I'm looking forward to coming to the shop and lending you a hand. Let get this cruiser knocked out soon!

Well...it is going a bit backwards as of today. Mcguire is home from school and he is selling his SOA's. He's wanting to borrow my axels/rims and tires for a few weeks until he starts his suspension swap at Christmas. So looks like Frankie is going on blocks for a bit. Also, gonna reshoot the clear on the lift gate due to the runs. You can see them (outline) in the light and it will drive me crazy.

My dad would NEVER let me borrow parts of his cars, good thing he isn't into land cruisers ..

I need you guys to adopt me

Well, I suppose there's plenty to get done while she's on blocks anyway.

Yeah I'd like to, but I've got more then enough stuff to work on here... Maybe I'll combine a trip to your ranch and Round-up together.

Update. Mcguire came to his senses and he's using the full floater axels I got off the HJ61 in Canada. With my 33's and these axels, will get a good sense of how they will run with my 12HT once I do that conversion. And he's using a spare set of OME heavies that we got from a fellow muddier in Kansas

Man...all I can say is make the time cause you'll be an old (older ) man like me before you know it.

Truth. Life is short. Live it and enjoy.

You should be getting pretty good at this job Jim. I'm heading out of town or I would come by and help out. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family bud.

I could not NOT do it. Had to repaint the clear on these two sides. Even with McGuire making a complete mess out of my shop. Came out really good and you can't see the remnants (stains) of the previous runs. Mild wet sand/buff and we will be hanging these two. Then on to the other doors.

Looks great Jim!

Glad to see you all got them down to Texas! It's good to know these springs will be put to proper use.

A little more progress. Getting the guts back into the hatch and then on to the doors. Might have to jump on the headliner soon as I'm expecting to have a guy come install a new windshield. Unfortunately the liner wraps around the windshield channel. I'm working around Mcguire as he's working on his 80 frame that he's putting under his 60. Also, had a few cruiser heads stop by and go to lunch with me and MJ. Todays his 21st BDay.

I need to do a better job of keeping up on this thread.

Looking forward to meeting you and McGuire this week!

Same here Johnny. MJ will coordinate. And no need to worry about keeping up on the thread. I need to focus on getting this ride done so I can continue the thread vs all the delays

 

[CenTXFJ60]

Just got to eastern NC to spend the week with in laws. Will be good to see everyone, but looking forward to getting back to the shop in TX

 

[GLTHFJ60]

And warmer weather I'm sure!!

 

[CenTXFJ60]

Man it's been in the 20's the last few nights in central TX. Had to pull out the propane heater in the shop .

 

[gregnash]

LOL..... Know the feeling. Took the new little man out to go potty the other night and it was freezing but dry. Went inside and it said it was all of 12* out there.
