Builds Total Restoration 1997 40th Anniversary Cruiser

[2fpower]

I like your sign in the rear window.

Mine must be sun bleached, I looked at my parts car lx450, my 40th, and parts from a 96' all looked greyish.

On the parting section @Mikesta is parting out his 40th. You might see what he has.

Sorry I could not help.

Thanks for the referral Kelly, I hope I have what you need.. I'll check in the am!

Here are some picks, not perfect.

The rig is getting closer to complete at Slee.
Lockers and gearing done as well as adding the OEM locker switch.
All bushings replaced, front axel service done.
Still need to install winch.

With using the OEM switch to control your air lockers, are you still restricted to having your front locked only when the rear is also locked then? Not that it's a situation that's going to come up a lot, just wondering if you've got a work around or have just accepted it?

I wondered the same thing when contemplating a set of Harrop elockers - they offered me the stock switch, but i figured it might (albeit rarely) be better to have the other option if ur going fully locked. curious what people think

Is the end use here going to be off-road, or did you do this more as a hobby buildup & just planning to have a (very) nice DD?

Just curious, no matter what it sure is cool!

 

[citadel]

We will see

Ya gotta pull that wood grain off the dash tho.

 

[citadel]

@IanB -- Not sure. I'll need to ask Christo about that. I am not concerned though if that is the case.

@PDoyle - I actually like the wood grain
I will likely get a new wood grain kit though as it is old

Good choice, I pulled my wood grain off my dash and it pulled some of the finish off. I know many people do not like it, but replacing the plastic after would have been expensive. Plus, I was careful, but I still managed to scratch some areas.

I pulled the wood grain off of my truck years ago and still have some of the glue stain on the black plastic. I've been looking for a good replacement wood grain kit for a long time. Nothing was better than the OEM kit and that company doesn't make them anymore.
I see other types of dash kits like aluminum or something like that and wonder if it would look better or updated rather than the wood.

I may have to run by Slee so that I can proudly say I saw the rebirth in person!

What brand windshield did you use?
