The White Ghost gets a second chance

[CruisinFJ60]

POR15 is my friend!

 

[iaintscared1969]

Yeah it does make for a nice addition to the cruiser. Tomorrow fuel lines, Tank, and bolt up the engine assy.

Man the engine is really going to stand out with the black frame & white fenders. Looking good Randy...

 

[CruisinFJ60]

thats the fun part.

[iaintscared1969]

[iaintscared1969]

Yes the locker is at Randy's. Do you need the locker or the Cruiser for the test drive?

 

[iaintscared1969]

I think I need that engine in there first but if I rub the lockers really hard they may engage and I could take it for a spin

It sure isn't a Jeep...

I hope you have a garage heater! It a bit chilly in dallas tonight.

 

[iaintscared1969]

My little space heater and the dryer. Just enough to take the chill off. Better than laying under a truck in the rain. Either way it is still fun for me.

a bottle of tequila might help...

Yup, working outside is no fun in the heat or the cold. Glad you got a garage to work in.

If I were to do the tekillya I might be warm but your truck would look a little different than the typical install Tonight get the tank back in and the lines run. Hopefully have the engine and tranny bolted up.

Randy, looks like it's gettin easier every time for ya, You look to moving right along with this one.

 

[iaintscared1969]

Good thing was that ML did a lot of cleaning before I got the truck so it is going a lot faster not having to clean off 10 years of oil and dirt.

vortec help ?

I will definetely take you up on the Q & A's to some of the little tweaks you've learned about doing these conversions. I can't wait to hear and feel this thing run!! Your clips are great as well.Any how I now have to pull mine to do some color on it, cause you made it look so good!! (also to do the engine compartment)
I appreciate the offer too!! I am glad to see these becoming more frequent for you, it seems to be your calling. great job.

I have been tinkering with my 60 now for about a year. I started a fab business around the same time, and was hoping to make the 60 my mobile business card. Things got crazy and I had to put my time and money into the business and neglect my baby. Like I said you have kicked me in the A** with your great work, and now I have to play catch-up !! Anyhow the suspension is formed of fj80 springs, johnny joints, 2" ..250 DOM links, 3 link /pan set-up in the front - triangulated 4 link in the rear. Could'nt afford the coil-overs at the time, but the way things are going I might be switching up soon!

THANKS,
Happy Holidays

Man that is a nice looking setup! I want to see more of that when you get going good. I like the welding for the new spring perches. What's the game plan on suspension? Let me know if there is anything I can help you out with. Sure is nice seeing all of these Vortec's running around!!

 

[iaintscared1969]

I know the feeling!! I am still trying to find a good base truck but I wouldn't have time to work on it. Make sure you get some more pic's of that suspension and engine. Looks really good!! Definately add some color! Nice to know I can still use a size 13 for something
