This blows my mind. @kelly saad making the impossible - possible.
You think he should be working at the Toyota Yoshiwara Plant?
Nooooo! We need his experience and expertise here!
Hello,
It is a reinforcement for the pillar. Toyota noted it keeps the pillar's integrity throughout the life of the truck in, as Toyota put it, harsh operating conditions.
They mentioned this detail in a video about the assembly of 70 Series trucks.
It is worth noting that this is still done by hand, just like in this build.

haha noooo, Kelly needs to stay put, in the master's workshop, where he makes Cruiser dreams come true

Sprayed epoxy primer. Took my daughter to Hobby Lobby during my hour dry period. Back at the shop, craft time in the office and paint time in the booth.

Seeing your pictures of the harbor freight sandblaster reminded me of years ago…. Highly recommend moving up to a better pressure pot.. it was a game changer for me. I would say blast five times faster, but use three times more air, so it is a slippery slope…. End up getting a bigger, compressor, bigger airlines, and probably need a dryer now.

Thanks! I agree and have been waiting to upgrade for a few years but just keep using that pile of junk for some reason.

Absolutely outstanding work, Kelly.

There is a 13BT in the back of a 60 right now on its way here. Yes, in the back! Get an engine stand ready, we will drive it down soon, but you have to take us mountain biking down there in the desert. We only ride mountains here.
