[TRAIL TAILOR]

Door weatherstipping arrived.. Probably could have saved a little going with Onur or Cdan, but I give Mike D @Cruiser Corps business when I can.

How fun it is to get all the new parts, keep us posted with pics on your progress.

 

[SNLC]

I think that is the first hard top I have seen shipped like that. Not that I pay attention much but never seen one shipped in a box! Kinda cool.

Cool project Jason. If you are still in Wyoming when it is done and I have my 77 Ute Patrol done we should get them side by side for a few pics.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Thanks for the compliment.

This is what they might have come off of...???

I swear, Nissan and Toyota were related at some point. The similarities over the years is unreal Cruiser to Patrol but a few other models too. The Toyota Stout to the Nissan Junior for example. But check out the Nissan Homer to the old Hiace.

and the Homer van!

A Japanese boogie van, how cool is that!?

Cheers

Jason,

So, I snoop around in the hardcore section and there you are. Let me just say, you are one of the most motivated men I know. I look forward to see what you come up with regarding the 40s. You have a lot of irons in the fire.

Thanks Ron, Good to see you floating around... I like people with diversity...

Slower than most of my projects, but it'll get there.

Engine is looking beautiful. Can't wait to see where you take the body.

Requested my build be moved to the 40 forum. Had a change of heart on the build details.

Thanks all

They had a strong 'relationship' thru the years... Toyota had many relationships and partnerships

Stripped down the rest of the 69 and got it ready for my buddy to come get. Pulled as many parts as I could. He only needs sheetmetal. Front axle will get the 60 disc conversion.

I wheelbarrowed Tank's frame into the yard to wash out the rails. Not bad for being 47 years old. Let it sun dry and now back in the shop.

"not too bad for 47 year old"
