Look what I found under the dirt and gunk on the back of my frame! The original paint still looks great! :D

BTW, if you ever need wire brushes, go to Harbor Freight, I got a handful of brass brushes in different sizes for a total of $4,

Post up if you decide to try the trick I shared to straighten the panel out.

Michigan; no, you shouldn't have! I don't think you could have picked a worse state to go to for rust problems, what were you thinking!:rolleyes: lol My Dad grew up in Detroit, so I've heard the horror stories with the salt. Luckily though, my 60 was originally purchased 10 miles from where I live, at Stevens Creek Toyota in San Jose, so its been in my area its whole life! :D

Shane; if I ever get around to finishing these panels, I definitely will.
 
Replied in your school thread. PM me if you want to chat after work since you're local to me. I can likely give you a ton of info and referrals.

the pedal covers are fine for now I'll get some factory ones soon, this is just because of the rain yesterday, I was slipping off of the clutch.

Temporary fix for a stupidly simple problem, plus I thought it might get a laugh here on mud.

:lol: Your reaction when you noticed it was priceless. I told myself I would wait until I got to 250 posts before I ordered one of the decals, and I'm almost there.... so i'll have one soon.

I didn't realize exactly how much work you have into your 4Runner until just a few minutes ago when I followed the link in your sig. What was that cardbord in the back in one of the pics for?
 
I have been enjoying your thread, great info! :clap:
Now for your bike, hope you get back on one soon. I don't know what I'd do without my
09' Kona Stab and 10' Felt Compulsion :bounce:
Ride on...
