First 40...finally

She's a beaut Clark! Love the seats and the patina. Great looking rig. Mine has some mechanical things to work through, but I've been driving it all summer too, just a bikini top on, no doors. And it's awesome. I don't know for sure, but I suspect those of us that go through long dark winters relish the top down driving the most. Thanks for the update!

Thanks! It's been fun working and seeing the transformation.

Agree that the no top/doors is the way to go! I have multiple sets of doors but have never put a set back on after I took delivery. Would love to get a soft top, but my wife prefers I not install one.

Completely agree about us northerners. The beautiful summers and driving with no top/doors is much more appreciated after a long winter...

Cheers!

Great thread, lots of inspiration. I think I’m going to try the easy off method. The zep stuff I tried didn’t do anything and the lacquer thinner works but takes a long time.

Awesome. Your project Turd is coming along nicely! It's a lot of work, but pretty rewarding when you see the difference!

Thank you. My user name is from 3 trucks ago, a 2000 TRD Tacoma that is long gone.
my 40 is a bit of a turd though
