Looking good

I love that upholstery….that’s going to look amazing. I would love to do the same in mine.

Small shop here in the Land of Nod. Father and Son team. The Father, “JR The Elder” apprenticed under arguably the best shop in the MOV. His son, “JR The Younger”, has a good eye and is doing the stitching.

Crazy week in the land of Nod.

Just catching up.

TRUST ME…I am so impressed with this build I think about it during the day like a new girlfriend for a 20 year old. Only 1 observation I need to say something stupid about.

Are you planning to “restore’ the steering wheel?

I’d go stock…but that’s me. Some epoxy to fill the dents, and that WOW high gloss paint with hardener….done. Save the lottery money for gas

Back with the upholstery shop today.

Somewhere along the way the headrest guides were damaged. Quick fix with some epoxy. The remaing plastic is in good solid condition. Well, for nearly 50yr old plastic anyway.

I showed it to my co-worker who is an admitted body guy, he ways that you are going to flip it. I hope you don't sell it.

 

[Chungas Revenge]

Do you have any side profile views of the truck with these tires and wheels?

 

[Chungas Revenge]

There’s a suitcase full of reasons why I have no plans to sell. Excluding of course any obscenely repulsive over the top offers from drunken celebrities…Just saying..

Before I sold my 1925 Henderson, I had said “ I’ll never sell this one”. I was 32 … I had a bunch of money tied up in that bike and 2 years restoring it…and feared riding it with stone chips, nutty drivers around me and a shipload of other inane options. Then, the call came….” I have a guy interested…..”

I say he won’t sell!
……. he likely will miss the diamond plate, the rattles and the rough around the edges vibe the mule sported with pride but not only is 2.0 the absolute shiniest FJ40 ever…..
