my 65 fj40 hardtop did not have either hold downs on the hood, or the little catches on the top of the windshield

Hallo Land Cruiser Junky. I have a FJ28LVA from the year 1959. Picture will follow. Greetings, Günter
Wow, I would have agreed with Mark and thought for sure that the folding windshield would have come with the hook retainer and rest. I just learned something new about the 25.
To all of you who have contacted me, I've got about another 7-10 days before I start tooling and polishing the brass emblems. It takes about 6 hours each emblem, and then they need to go to be chrome plated.View attachment 1533456
Can you imagine how much better the 25 registry would be if every person who put a request in this thread added their rig to the registry first?
@Land Cruiser Junky do you have any spare t-bird logos you can part with? A friend is in search of one.
Maybe it’s just me, but I think your question rubs the wrong way.my friend is in Sri Lanka where they do know how to get a diamond in the rough to shine. What would “raw and unplated” cost?
I will let Gene decide.Maybe it’s just me, but I think your question rubs the wrong way.
Gene just got done posting that he’s on the leading edge of what promises to be a long transition into a new life. It’s probably going to be more than a year, probably more than two until he finds himself in a place to deal with these again.
And if things can change in ’a New York minute’ they sure can in a couple of years of a man’s life. This I have abundantly lived myself since my mother died two years ago.
So whatever price he might give you now could vary well be meaningless in a couple of years, unless you plan on trying to hold him to it (which people have done to me).
Obviously it’s Gene’s project and I’m not trying to speak for him. But imo you should tell your friend to just cool his jets. The emblems are a labor of love. And you can’t rush love.
