I say we let @rkymtnflyfisher and @GA Architect fight this out in the garden of good and evil.

Thanks, Ryan, that means alot. We are getting close to calling it done. There are some areas that I need to send home and a couple of things that I want to rework now that I see how everything is laying out. The details are taking some time, next to the shops work, any shortcut will be glaring.

As long as you keep the step-bit in the tool box everything will be fine!

Got some pics of the ‘72 outside today. And just for @rkymtnflyfisher moved the lockouts closer to being installed.
Blasted, etch prime and finally semigloss black and then the dials are base, clear.

Have you started to install climatisation and glass garage doors yet, this cannot be exposed to the elements anymore!
Just saying it gets better and better every time.

Just hit 150k views. @Chungas Revenge and @rkymtnflyfisher probably account for 135k of them.
Aside from the new OEM curved corners, all of the glass in the ‘72 is new. We have been hung up on the front door vent windows. They have a hole for the pull to pass through and safety glass cannot be drilled because of the film between the layers. We finally found a shop that can do it but they are in OR and need a sample to match the color. Should have something soonish.
I was able to install the barn door latch. a few weeks ago. We did the family road-trip for Spring Break in the upgraded camper, 1300 miles. Earlier this year as we have an 8th grader that will be spending summer preparing for the HS soccer season.

V8s rock. A 6.0 is a great choice in a fj60. If you don't like the power of the 2f in the 40 you could drop in a 6.0 or put the 350 back in
Kidding of course
