Builds My 78' Barn find FJ45 (6 Viewers)

Thanks Altaco! My body guy is a professional shop so he would probably be up for it. I will tell you he's a busy guy with plenty of work. So plan on waiting a minute for him to start. You should call or come to see him for a start time estimate.

We'll see how many times I try the wrong door. I already had that problem before I switched it. At least now maybe I'll quit turning the wipers on in my Honda Element when I'm turning, after I have driven the 45. (The turn signal lever is also different for RHD, in case you didn't know).

I'm going to try and time a visit to Huntsville with one of the club meetings. I tried to come up last year for one of the meetings at newks and meet the guy that ended up scamming people from the Chattanooga area but he backed out on my parts when I told him only in person.
I lived off of Jeff road a few years ago before the Kroger and everything was built. Man that area has been developed. My allergies don't miss the area though.

I keep seeing posts of all the cruisers up there and how bill penny has a couple. I wish I would have been involved with them up there but I didn't have the 40 then.

I'll keep watching your thread I enjoy reading the updates. Great work

Thanks for the props! Most of the Huntsville/Madison area is growing and changing. On the 28th of this month we are having a dinner meeting at Po Boy's, if you remember where that is. We have a room reserved. It would be a good meeting to bring your significant other to.

I finally received all of my parts to complete the t case rebuild.

Mmmmm, rebuilt.. I also notice this has the correct ratio of plated and painted parts. Bet if you go into the 4 Runner section they're gittin it all wrong.

This is why I don't deserve my Truck , and probably shouldn't even be on Mud!

Henry don't tell me that's your 45 laying on it's side in your avatar!

 

[HENDOG]

That's my Junk 40 Beater Trailer Queen!

 

[Michael B]

That's cool Henry!

 

[HENDOG]

Can never have to many!

 

[Michael B]

You may be correct sir!

I got a little encouragement from my body man this morning! This afternoon I will drop by his shop and return the favor (i.e. Write him a check). Maybe I can get some more photos then.

 

[Michael B]

There was nothing else that was picture worthy upon my arrival. But he did indicate that he should be finished with it in a week and a half. That's Friday of next week!

I think it's going to be a long week and a half!?!!!

 

[HENDOG]

It will be worth it!

 

[Michael B]

Indeed Henry!

 

[troopie]

Looking good! When do you think it's driveable?

I've not had the chance to look for the late model motormount. Hopefully next saturday.

 

[Michael B]

I'm hoping for October. We will have to see how the reassembly process goes.

 

[cult45]

Lookin good mate! Should be a long weekend of reassembly come the 12th!

 

[Michael B]

Cult while appreciate your confidence in me. I think there is more than a weekends worth of work to be done once it comes home.
