Cool cars and CLC chat

Started as a front end rebuild......Now I am de-rusting so I can work on it without the use of Kroil(some good s***). also geting some diff armor,new tie rod ends, new frame caster bushing for control arm. Soda blasting as much of the rust I can and repainting. Going to be Purrrdy when I finish.

Few more pics....Round 1 of soda blasting. Painting the control arms. A picture of my bent up slider. Removed so I could fix my exhaust that got broke, Going to be fun trying to bend that out.

Once I started I just could not stop. Also working on my control arm, relay rod bending issue. Got a new to me drive shaft. Mine is getting beefed up and balenced, going to use it just for trails. Pic of my ebay finds...(not pictured is 25lb box of bolts,nuts,and other non rusted hardware from the 96' lexus)

Notice the biggest improvement in the last pic?

Had to post up a little progress I made over the last week or so. Got my swing out fabricated for the IPOR rear bumper and the RTT mounted. Still looking for the whiffle ball bat though Just about ready for the expedition this weekend with Jacque, Mark, Bomar, and the rest.

I'm actually headed to Baltimore tomorrow. I'll have to look this up, maybe bring back some fresh ideas. Booyakasha!

The 62 is coming right along. The only thing holding it back is it's mechanic.
In the process of putting in new air pump, water pump, radiator, fan clutch, and
adding a transmission cooler. Hoping to get it running before thanksgiving.

Loving the LED lights. I am ordering my Wild West Fab LCA (rear) today. Perhaps I can rent your garage space for some work...I need to do a front end job and de-rust as well. We can also rig up some cool electronic distribution stuff in your truck.
