Just some winchety goodness happening.
When i say "rolling resto," i mean I'm in a campground
.
Propane tanks plus a 2x4 and some cardboard got me to just the right height...
Now to crimp some wires and stretch that cable into the drum.
I sure hope this thing works
Period correct and perfectly aged.

Yeah, well I only had one propane tank, so I improvised:
I hear that grill is worth at least 10hp

So funny. Our daughter spotted you and sent me these pics. I gave her a hard time for not waiting around to chat-up the owner.

Oops. Just saw Texas Coast.
Excellent ! Vacuum is an excellent indicator of fuel economy while driving. All 80s economy gauges where nothing but a vacuum gauge; when accelerating try to drive at the highest vacuum. Also you can use it when tuning your carburetor and distributor timing, tune to the highest vacuum reading with the vacuum advance removed from the carb, just making sure the carb vacuum port is caped off while tuning.

Drove my’64 over to a prospective client’s house so that when when I was done inspecting her ‘64, I could show her what a well-tuned ‘64 is supposed to sound like when I’m done tuning it.
Unfortunately, it will be a long time until we get to that point; truck has a couple of major issues.
Look familiar to anyone? She says it came from the Sacramento area.

Slapped on a new arb courtesy @cruiseroutfit
Then toyed around in the mountains behind my house while my buddy test drove his mini truck, even got to enjoy in n out now that it’s here in Idaho.
Downside is that it’s super smokey from the Oregon fire.

@cruiseroutfit how much are those ARB Bull Bars going for? And how many do have left please?
I think we have one left but check with Chance @ Cruiser Outfitters and he'll know for sure. Info@cruiseroutfitters.com. I'm on the road this week.

PO had enlarged the radio opening and I wanted to install an original radio, which has a narrow bezel. My neighbor and fellow FJ40 owner offered to 3D model the radio bezel, and I printed it online. Results really exceeded my expectations. I may reprint and enlarge the text a bit.
I need to look into that 3D printing…is it a real PITA when you want to scan an item to be printed or are there special files that you need?
On the other hand:
The window seals on both ambulance doors is dry and cracking so I am replacing them 1 at a time…. Never did this before so it may be an issue, just not too sure…but that never held me back on anything before so here we go.
Also, I had a troubling ding under the right side window so I decided to address this now.. a simple approach u til the next re-paint
Clear coat in a few days

It has been a pain to raise my windshield because the little brackets that keep the spacers in place had broken off, sometime in the mid 1980’s. Today was the day I finally fixed them.
Hey, that's the original color of my '63!Drove my’64 over to a prospective client’s house so that when when I was done inspecting her ‘64, I could show her what a well-tuned ‘64 is supposed to sound like when I’m done tuning it.

Gaining altitude to escape the triple digit heat, and of course the ol knee freezer 3000 doing what it can to help out
Was having zero luck finding a fan shroud for Wilbur so I had one fabricated. Came out great I think.
