OEM style scuff/sill plates $60/set

[cruiser_guy]

I was missing the scuff/sill plates on my '76 FJ55 restoration and I wanted the OEM look. Eric Ellis was kind enough to allow me to borrow his OEM plates to copy back in the spring of '08 I think. It took way too long to find the aluminum and a means to form it to mimic the OEM look but I think I can say that I have finally acheived that (not perfect but close).

I had to purchase a full sheet of aluminum in order to do this and I will be making these until that sheet of aluminum is gone. It will likely make about 18 or so sets. I have one on my '55, I have one for Eric for the trouble I caused him and I will make one for my '67 FJ45LV as I think they used a similar arrangement. That leaves about 15 sets available for both the FJ55 and the FJ45LV "crowds".

The shop screwed up on the first go around and made the folds too sharp for my liking (OEM has a more rounded bend and the first go round was a much more right angle). These first five or so will be available at $30/set since I consider them "seconds".

The next bunch have the correct smooth bend and will be $60/set.

I take Paypal and checks. PM me or post up if you are interested.

Here are some photos of the completed items both uninstalled and in my '76 FJ55.

The first photo shows both the OEM ones and my copies.

Charles, I'll take one set of each, rejects and newer set. does set = 4? Paul

 

[cruiser_guy]

A set is enough for all four doors. Are you looking for the '45 of the '55 ones? I'll bring them up in the summer. Hopefully I'll be able to get the '45LV quarters then too.

1 set for each, wasn't sure which ones, 45 or 55, are the seconds.

I had the guy make up five sets for each I think so I have "seconds" of both and "firsts" of both. Which do you want? You have my Paypal address right?

Lou

Lou, I can do Paypal. Shipping will be in the summer as usual. I'll PM you my Paypal address. Make sure you let me know what you want, I assume it's the '55 ones that you're after unless you've picked up a '45LV I don't know about.

Me Me Me!!!! I'd like a set of the 55 "firsts" for $60, please!!!!!! PM me the paypall address and it's on it's way!

I got both Lou's and Heather's payment. Those will go out in the summer.

Count me in for a set of the $60 version. Where can I send you a check??

 

[cruiser_guy]

"porkysan", I PM'd you.

The current status is that all the currently available $60 version parts are sold. I still have the $30 ones available. I can make more of the $60 ones but only on a pre-paid basis, and only while there is aluminum left from the sheet I bought. Anyone that want's a set needs to have payment to me by the end of April to give enough time to make these up before we leave Guatemala in June. Shipping will be when we arrive stateside in mid-June.

No longer available again (unless there is a big demand, like 15 prepaid orders, as we need to buy a full sheet of aluminum which we do not normally work with) Sorry.

You snooze, you loose!

 

[PabloCruise]

Are there any "seconds" available?

I would be interested in a set, let me know what my options are.

Thanks!

 

[smplunkett]

I would also be interested in a set - hopefully I won't be snoozing again!! suzanne

 

[cruiser_guy]

There MIGHT be seconds but don't count on it. I can't remember but all the parts are with my LV in Costa Rica and I won't be there till later this spring.

 

[PabloCruise]

I would take a set of the seconds - let me know!
