I dig the oldschool 4WD emblem on the 60 tailgate at the end. I might have to do that myself.

Where was the run held? Looks a lot like the Pilchuck/Silverton area.
I got the emblem from @bhicks . Great stuff. :)
 
That’s @red66toy at the end. We went up near Skykomish on Highway 2.
Man I miss going up through that area on my weekly night skiing trips to Stevens Pass. Would always honk "shave and a haircut" as I drove through the Skykomish tunnel :lol:
 
Not sure of what I’m more jelly of. House or cruiser
Ha! Thank you, that’s very kind. We’ve put a ton of work into both, mostly the house, and it’s still barely half way done. Long way to go but it’s been fun.
Cheers!
 
Well, so it's done. It is stored for the winter.
 
👍 🎄

After probably 10 years of talking about it, I finally got my driver's seat patched up. Was planning to attempt myself but got myself an early Christmas present and paid the pros to do it :) Beautiful work by a local interior shop here in the San Jose area, who saved basically all the remaining cloth and just added a vinyl patch (plus redid the entire lower vinyl on the driver's side). They also repacked the lower seat cushion and cleaned all the cloth. Already tested the new seat with a road trip and what a difference with fresh foam :) :) Many hours of vacuuming later and I got the interior as clean as it's been in a few decades... time to get it dirty again...

Anyone know what these are on the front of the carburetor? I am trying to bring my cruiser back to life and was told dirty gas might be clogged in the plugs on the front side of the carb. Are these them?

Those are the plugs that allow you to access the primary and secondary jets. The jets themselves are straight back at the far end of the fuel bowl as you look through the holes. On the older carburetors spare jets are stored in the back side of those plugs.

Thanks! I took them off and ran some carb cleaner through it.

That leather patch on your driver seat is genius

Thanks! And agreed. I was debating in my head for years how to do it, maybe a similar color cloth, or go brown cloth to match the vinyl. I spend two minutes talking with the owner of the interior shop and says hey we'll just do vinyl, should survive another few decades of jumping in and out. And looks almost factory :cheers: For folks in the Bay Area, may I recommend John Wardell and Wardell Auto Interiors!

Agree. That semi-circular patch actually looks pretty good to me. It goes….
