Build The Green Weed - Tildabogue Service Station

[wngrog]

I agree on the aux tank, comes in handy when spending a week on trail but outside of that, meh.

The Rubicon is so unique that there is a whole generation of 40s were built around that particular experience. I love when I visit the wine country and see all the Mudrak and BB inspired creations all around.

Man. I took this one back today and forgot to showcase the great work the stereo shop did and the new headliner.

I'll have it back at some point.

Work in progress.

I am very much looking forward to seeing what the stereo shop did to "The Green Weed." I am in the research stage myself and eagerly awaiting the US release of the Blaupunkt Frankfurt classic stereo. They showcased it at SEMA this year. I think it will look perfect on these rigs. Of course the RetroSound is a close second.

I was there 2 years ago and stopped in to see Mudrak .....

5 years before that as well.

Try to keep up tiny.

The sub tank is a goner. One less thing to go bad. The transfer switch was failing and I did not want to figure out how to incorporate it all into a Sniper EFI that this will get at some point.

After a deep clean of this totally rust free floor I added a layer of Dynamat.

Great. I use it on all the 60s and 80s I build.

The Green Weed is in Missouri at the best Land Cruiser body shop ever. Can't wait to see the results.

FINALLY! A major stereo brand modernizing a real historical model into market. Not a fan or the retro stereos and have been waiting for this. Now if Alpine, Kenwood and Pioneer can do this…

On a sidenote, I decided to find a new inbox late 80s pioneer cassette deck that I have connected to a mini Bluetooth amp in my glove box. I may have to switch it up for this one though, but I do love my old cassettes from a time long ago.

I spray Wool Wax with my air gun now because it's so much easier to deal with. Thinner. Pours into the gun versus me having to load it with a putty knife.

I use FF anywhere I want to quickly grab an aerosol can.

I don't see any difference in the two products.

I usually wait too long into the fall then spay fluid film. I warm it up on the grill in a container of water for a while to make it more liquid. Sprays quite nicely.

Which size are the seats in this one? Vario F?

Day dreaming again.

 

[wngrog]

Yes. Vario F

The beauty of working with a painter that is also a Cruiser shop is that vehicles don't go there to get pushed aside for a quick insurance job and die for months or even years.

This one is going great so far. @Ozark cruiser sent me these yesterday.

[Augustiron]

Jason found a little more rust when the top came off
