haven't done anything major in a while. got the winch line, fj mount, and hi lift jack installed (shout out to Steve for a top notch winch line and hook). also got the rear tire carrier finished and added a hitch ball. the weather is still great so I've been driving it a ton. not much incentive to finish the hardtop when it's 70's and sunny!
Wow, nice job man! Id like to check that out sometime. Nice work!
Not to hijack your thread but...
I don't intend to hijack your thread, but is there a Land Cruiser club for Georgia? I am starting on my 73 and would love to see some rigs to get ideas. I get lots of ideas here but I really like to see the stuff in person if I can. Also I'd love to know of a thread that had body working tips and how to sections. I do most of my own work but I am not a body guy by any means. Thanks for the great thread by the way. I am enjoying reading about your progress.

rocker panel repair
just doing small projects on the cruiser these days. I had four spots on the lower rocker panels (two on each side where the reinforcing clip attaches to the rocker) that looked like this:
so, I cut out the four spots:
and welded in some new sheet metal:
The great thing about rattle can flat is that I can repaint this in about 30 seconds and it will look like the rest of the vehicle Of course the down side, some may argue, is that it will look like the rest of the vehicle
I haven't seen too many other 40's in person, but I'm assuming they all rust here?

thanks - we're just starting a local group https://forum.ih8mud.com/groups/savannah-cruisers.html
our first event should be in early April - hope to see you there! drop me a line in the meantime if you have any cruiser questions - I'd be happy to help inspect any local prospective cruisers.

I realize that this is a very old thread but i love the color of your front seats, you mentioned someone that does marine upolstry put on the seat covers, MY QUESTION IS : where did you get the seat covers, i am looking and like your color the best? CCOT, SOR, or Cruiser Corp?
Thanks,
Brad
