sadly I bought it two or more years ago, lesson is not to buy many parts until needed. I didn't think it would take this long for my car to be worked over. 
Next time.

Shop is starting to restore some old soft top doors I have. As always, lower weatherstripping channel rusted away. Anyone know of alternatives or fixes?
Very Nice build. Wouldn't mind being in Houston and seeing this truck every once in a while...no expense spared from the looks.
These might work, although I can't see a pic of what your talking about.
Door Skins, Rear

Thanks buddy. I actually meant the small weatherstripping channel that is on the soft doors. SOR sells the soft door weatherstripping, just not the channel

This is how my engine is doing, in pieces while its being rebuilt. Work on head was finished yesterday 
Other pieces with the powder coater.
BTW although my car is an original 1970 model, I am installing an F.5 a 1974 model with the different head. Thought about a 2F, but I just rather like it as stock as possible and I'm keeping the 3 on the tree although with a rebuilt tranny and tc.

Here's some beginning of resto pictures. Someone way back had asked me about that evaporator tank by the way. Anyone know the story about the limited edition of FJ40s in 1970 with a complex emissions system?

I went over to see how it was going and then and there decided to also change the rear and mid floors as well as wheel wells. So much for a "small" rear sill and quarter panel repair... Many Dollars have passed since.

A little off track here. These are my photos of CCOT's model cars. I bought quite a few parts from all suppliers and its cool to at least go to one in person.

I just bought these straps from a good fellow mudder, anyone have a spare flat bar? The one that is used to bolt onto the hinges like the one shown?
A Machine shop should be able to make that for you if you can't find one!!! Your rig looks great btw
