Alas poor Horatio, (Dave) I knew him well. He is missing so much with his juris prudence neatness:

Discovering that you have 4 10mm sockets for each drive.
The exaltation of finding the wheel puller that been lost for months.
Stepping on the weatherstripping that you forgot about buying for you cruiser.
Finding that $20 in the left pocket of the old coat you used to lay on while working under the cruiser.
Uncovering that order of Landcruiser Parts you wern't sure you ordered.

These are but a few of the blessings showered upon the disorganization of Cruiserdom by the Cruiser Gods. Blessings that can only be received if the proper attitude is found in the faithful. Brother Troll can testify to the truth contained here and perhaps offer a word of encouragement to the "pleader" from those of us who comprise The Great Unwashed.

If you ever debated wheather to buy diapers or Front Disc Brakes.
If your wheels off your home will fit a 5.5 x 15 cruiser tire.
If the tax credit will cover the credit card bill that includes those headersyou needed.
If your order from Spector really needed to ship next day air.
If you have ever considered trading in the wife's can for a second cruiser.

These things go hand in foot (JP) with our religion and every bit as much as we have sacrificed in working without the bother of being neat we are rewarded with those blessings aformentioned by The Gods. So here we are and will remain and will stand as witnesses to the faithful that there is hope for those who having not yet seen the light but are willing to see that it is not an oncoming train but your brothers who are concerned but confident that Horatio will pull through thus securing the blessings for himself and his posterior, uh Posterity.

AMEN
 
Well said Capt. THE GREAT UNWASHED have made a point that cannot be disputed, only confirmed.

The Cruiser Gods will withhold all blessings from the neat cruiser persons.
 
Confirmed last night that my brothers 60 is indeed seized. Looks like we will be transplanting the 2F from my 40 starting this fri. Anyone got any pointers? I have not worked on a 60 before. I was thinking about removing the whole front end, or is just as easy to just remove the front grill and radiator. It will be desmogged so there will be a lot less stuff going back in.;)

removing the hood, grill, rad, and rad support will give you enough room to pull the whole powertrain. You may get away without removing the rad support if you are just pulling the engine.
 
Gehn go get it checked. Do you have a block warmer? What about a battery warmer?

No, and no. The glows put a big draw on the battery right off the bat but even without them on, I couldn't get the starter to turn over. Yeah, I'll have it checked. Gotta find a shop around here that can check it. Might just throw the other optima in and see if that makes a difference.
 
80 projects:

flare repair (more like repaint)
regaining braking perfomance and adding speedybleaders while im at it
Panhards and spacers, paint the frame

55:

2F rebuild and transplant (optimistic arent we :D)
decent shocks
headliner of sorts

but i can say the R value of tyvek house wrap is a little on the low side

I like the use of the tree as a structural member!
 
I can't believe you actually posted a picture of that fine piece of structural engineering on the internet!!!

Thanks man, she is pretty bad. :lol:
nah....dont need two...this was last winters project....still not bad for under 50 bux :clap:
 
might as well add dual batteries to my project list. Woke up this morning to some brisk weather and the optima didn't even have the amps to turn the starter. :rolleyes: I have a second red top, I just gotta install it. I wonder if a yellow top would have made any difference?

Wow, that's Pancake and Maple Syrup Weather.
