My “lift” consists of two cherry pickers.
It’s been hinted at several pages back now. At least the frame. The color I’m painting the body has yet to be disclosed. Non original colors. Probably gonna be a huge disappointment for the purists.
Non factory engine - Mmmmhmm
Non factory transmission - mehhhh
Non factory color scheme - UNFORGIVABLE!
As nice as you are doing all the work it's going to be cool enough the paint color isn't really going to matter. Look at what @wngrog did with Rusty Brandy Wine Burgundy on the Warthog, he somehow made a rusted out burgundy station wagon look desirable and I'm kind of digging it now.Non factory engine - Mmmmhmm

Well, to be fair, some of the colors people choose are really bad.

Stop! Remember we have to live with him down here in the sty.![]()
Honestly I believe everyone down here in the sty are some of the most imaginative car enthusiast I’ve ever interacted with, the iron pig has the least amount of aftermarket or factory support of any of the land cruisers and somehow you guys continue to build completely bad a$$ rigs seemingly out of thin air with limited tools and work space.I’m blushing that you think anything I’m doing is cool![]()
So the Limo is Blue/White 278 (854+031)?Haha. Dud to stud.
As for the off red paint. That’s what came on it. Well, not exactly. The 1977 parts were all blasted but the hood and it was Cygnus white with the cool rusted spots so instead of Mulleta red (how perfect is that name) and bright white it is ugly maroon red (to match the then unpainted tailgate and doors from the donor 73) so it is The goofy maroon red and the goofy off white.
it’s mostly two colors now. Three of you count rust.
But @RUSH55 I agree with your idea of keeping it quiet until you do
It because the level of input from the peanut gallery here can be overwhelming at times.
