My Jan 81 FJ40 Frame Off Resto Mod

[Chamba]

I went brown to match the LX interior. I like grey otherwise.

Jump seats and Roll Bar were Dark Gray in 1981.

Not a grey area: a regional area. Grey = English spelling; gray = American spelling.

I say go with either grey or gray, but not black.

Lol. I wasn't trying to correct him. Just choosing a color!

Agreed. I'm not going to tell him what to do. I think he can paint it any colour he wants so long as it's grey

 

[SSCR]

Grey.

You could paint it black then a thin coat of white

 

[KY Longhunter]

I'm going gray. I took part of roll bar to paint shop and we matched the color.

 

[KY Longhunter]

Paint not powder

Yes, you are right. I have been slammed busy with work trying to prepare for the Affordable Care Act

I need to send my wife to the mall with the kids, buy a case of beer and get you over here to help motivate me to get'r done!!!

What an epic thread. I think it was your calling to restore this Cruiser. If someone else had picked it up on that fateful day, more than likely this VIN would have seen its ending.

 

[KY Longhunter]

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I was telling someone my title problem today. I still can't understand why the Previous Owner wont just order a duplicate title and help a brohter out.

I take it you've tried enticing him with a few bucks and a case of beer?
