Builds Project Patina-November 1968 FJ-40 (3 Viewers)

[BMThiker]

It's Kitty's birthday weekend, otherwise @beno would have to reinstall his passenger seat for me and I'd have to get a set of aviator goggles because he likes driving with the windshield down.

Bring her. Cabin is yours.

Thanks for the offer, but we've got plans for the weekend already. https://www.facebook.com/events/1776131109340350/

Blasting parts for Project Patina

 

[wngrog]

Thrashing. Parts. Cleaning

Junk.

This stuff soaked all night. It's clean.

The chemical clean has been a real pita. I should have pressure washed it bit the lure of working on it in the AC won out.

This piece looks like copper. Weird.

Coming along.

Looking good.

My OCD would be kicking in if I were there with you though.

Oh yes. You would not be invited for this part.

You must get the feel of this deal. No need to get silly on the small stuff.

 

[MScruiser]

That's my specialty though.

 

[wngrog]

This part sucks. I'm trying to get it all painted so it's not a mess tomorrow.

 

[wngrog]

Well s***. Georgle tells me the shrouds I have don't work with a fan clutch and plastic fan


Is anyone sitting on a 2F shroud I can buy?

For Sale

 

[wngrog]

Any way to keep this stuff pretty or will it just oxidize back ugly?

@euclid shamed me into getting some "real" beer for the help tomorrow.

Let me blast it.

Then coat with high temp silver paint.

If the shroud I grabbed doesn't work, I may be interested in yours....

 

[wngrog]

I meant to send it with you today.

It's going on the truck tomorrow. I really don't want it painted. I guess I could but that's not the way it was designed.

Thanks for the offer.

You need a different one too. It's much bigger.
