Its a Grant 313 Classic. Its not the most common wheel, but I saw it in a 1969 Mustang a couple of months back and knew its the one I wanted for this build.
That's the style I want too for my FJ60. I'm just having a hard time finding the right combo of wheel diameter/wood color/spoke color I want.
Nice Sammy!! I had a '91 when at NCSU in the mid 90's... would love to get another one some dayI have had several projects to keep me busy over the past few weeks and this project has received the most attention so far. My boys have named her Tin Cup, but we shall see if that sticks. Not sure what my plans are, but with having so much time on my hands right now I am finding that my OCD side is kicking in and I am restoring every part I take off. Here are a few of the things I have done in the past 2-3 weeks.
Installed "New" leather seats. They are second row 2016 Chrysler T&C second row seats installed with fabed seat brackets. Its a somewhat common swap, but unfortunately they sit to high for my tall ass. I do love the seats, but if I keep this Sammy I will need to find another solution. Its just a shame because I love these seats.
Replaced the door panels and hardware:
I removed the combination switch from the steering column and rebuilt it to fix a turn signal issue I was having. Then added a new steering column cover and new steering wheel. I am sure its just me, but there is something about a wood steering wheel in an old rig. This is not a normal combo for this, but I dig it.
I have also replaced all the brakes and rotors. Changed all the fluids to Amsoil. Replaced the timing belt, water pump, and oil pump. Replaced all the hoses and metal cooling pipes. I have a few other things to finish up on before I get into the fun part which is replacing sheet metal. I am always looking for an excuse to weld.
In the next two weeks I will be tackling my LX todo list. Which includes a new starter, T-Belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets, and replacing every vacuum hose. Oh the things we do to keep ourselves busy......

That's gorgeous. I might have to impulse buy that.
Posted this in the Chat thread but this is more appropriate..
I'm doing my first motorcycle track day this coming weekend and am camping out so it was a good excuse to get started on my sleeping platform in the truck. Got the center section done today. Tomorrow I’ll tackle the wings!
This will be dual purpose as my fiance has agreed to go camping with me so now we'll be able to camp in the truck!
By no means a professional job but it’ll be functional

Looks pretty professional to me! That’s nice man! What’s the plan for a sleeping pad? Air mattress?
@jfz80 came by and sprayed some more gaw-darn yard paint last week. Thinking I'm done with projects for a day or two.
