Very impressive Tom...hats off to your will to get things done properly

One day you are going to have to put together some 'how to' threads here in the 25 section that details some of your fine work! Do you cad plate your own stuff? Oh, and paying particular attention to your master, but yours should have tin cups for the '62...splitting hairs I know, but you are doing such a great job, I figured I should mention it

Beautiful house! As far as bikes go, I kind of pictured you more on something like an early 1909 to 1926 bike...well...maybe that's because I'm always keeping an eye out for one that someone just wants out of their bar A little off topic, but about 4 years ago, I nearly purchased a 1926 Indian Prince. It was in a real basket case, all apart and all, but the price was real low. By the time I decided to go buy it, it was sold. Too bad, but as it turned out I had a lot on my plate since then, so it wasn't time for such a project...funny how things work out.

I would take some decals...let us know more when you get closer.

Again, really nice work!!!

68 model year I'm pretty sure the plastic cups started. I have a very early 68 and it had had plastic. Bought it in 74 so pretty it was still original. Rust free cruiser from here in AZ so I doubt they were updated. The 68 model had a lot of changes from earlier cruisers.

But we know who has the great condition stickers on his voltage regulator. Sean could you share a photo? might have to go to the things found on FJ25 thread. John

2 decals from voltage regulator and one from the generator

 

[Living in the Past]

I've got generators with a regtangler sticker and a oval metal tag with a couple of rivets holding it on. May have a tag or two on original starters also. Is someone trying to make these?

While I know most of you think I'm a horder I have seven Land Cruiser with production dates earlier than 1963. Not sure I'm anywhere close having seven of any of the considered rare parts.

stickers

just got back from the printer with the sticker machine I can make them I would have to have the the sticker and a blow up of it what about the embossed numbers on all the stickers would we leave them blank or ? and on the horn sticker is there a L or R for right and left looks like mine has a L next to the 030 but note sure?

[Living in the Past]

Not sure but I believe the horn is not left right but high low. Which would explain the "L"
