Hey All. Figured it's high time I posted up a couple pics of my cruiser and introduced myself. I have been lurking around mud for a while, not saying much but reading a lot. I can tell you that I have been amazed and inspired by some of the builds and a bit overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge being shared here.
I own a '68 FJ40 that I have had for several months. It's really in need of some TLC but lack of time and money have kept me from delving into it. Previous owner did a V8 conversion and it runs pretty decent (of course it doesn't go to good on the flat tire
). Unfortunately that's about the only nice thing I can say about the PO's work on the old rig and much of what he did will have to undone (Check out the rattle-can camo paint!). I am by no means an ace mechanic, in fact I am down right lousy, but I figure if I am thoughtful and take my time I can restore her to a much finer state.
That's it for now. Look forward to any advice you guys may wish to give and I hope you all don't mind a few stupid questions from time to time.

P.S. First time posting pics....hope they come out ok.
