Found a cool 40 - Need to raise $$$

[AustinCruiser]

Will be pulling my tub after football season, Jason has dibs on it but you are welcome to it if he passes (his '73 is currently up for sale). It needs some love, but has solid floors and might be easier to start from

Will trade for welding work!

Tucker

Put me in for 2nd dibs! Any takers on my gear?

Did not see that one. I already bought the $600 FJ40. I have a line on a tub thanks to SeaKnight's keen eye. Between the complete unmolested 1974 FJ40 and the ATXLandCrusher's decent 1973 tub, I should have myself a nice 40 (keeping my fingers crossed). I plan paint it 6H9 Olive and keep it as stock as possible.

Please send me your email so that I can send you the sewing machine manual.

Thanks, Ed

Yeah, that color is sweet. Is it Olive or Fashion Green?

x2 on the color, whatever it's called. Excellent choice.

Over in the 40 forum they called it olive grey. I think it looks great, most importantly it isn't the cruiser's original smurf blue ( not a fan of smurfs).

Eat it.

Oops. Nothing personal - just don't want to re-paint it blue. La, la, la, la , la. La, la, la, la, la.

You should really piss him off by painting it a nice gold lame' color. Check the speaker thread for some examples.

Dare ya....

A gold lame' cruiser? Umm, no. In San Francisco, maybe, but not here in Texas.

This one looks OK though, just a little too pimp for me ...

That is for the limp wristed left coasters.

 

[davegonz]

I see you got the point

Anyone out there have a trailer that I can borrow to bring my 40 home?

Jason has a truck haulin' trailer, and I think Jeff still has one as well. Check with one of them.

Where you coming from and where you headed, if your in SW Austin area, I have a car hualer available...

 

[AustinCruiser]

Thanks. I am in Central Austin and the 40 is up in Bandera. I was thinking about trying to pick it up next weekend.
