What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (39 Viewers)

[6f40j9]

Found out my head is shot, after sitting in the machine shop for weeks.
I need to find another one and start all over.
So I started to clean up the eBay windshield frame I got a couple months ago. Believe it or not, it’s in better shape than mine, the correct year, and the right color.

Did you go with the 1 wire? I much prefer the 3 wire units. If your block has the bolt pattern option, look into a pmgr starter; the one I use is from a late 90’s (?) suburban; those crank really fast.

I went with the one wire setup, I didn’t feel like changing things up.

As you can see, now the signs are in place. I asked the inspector at the car inspectorate if I could get a small sign at the back, between the hinges on the tailgate? Yes there is no problem, as long as you make sign lights.
I have done this and I think it looks good. There are LED lights that are actually sign lights at the back of the Harley Davidson motorcycle.
What do you guys think about this?

Looks good. On my 45, I hang the plate on the rear frame. There are spaces for bolts that can have a plate bolted there, but that looks really good.

Thank you Pura Vida

It won’t be that bad…. 45 minutes later. Yup it’s that bad. Breaking out the welder again. Stripped it all back and lots of thin metal and thick bondo. It’s all good. I can fix it. Just not happy about it all as all I wanted was to sling paint this weekend and get this one off to the new owner.

Washed and waxed patina finish, then found some paint on the shelf and gave a nod to Ivan "ironman" Stewart with some vintage style (subtle) stripes.

More prominent with the hood up.

a bit more subtle with the hood down.

A close up.

Looking for some cool interior lighting options for camping inside the 40' later in the year and ended up making a lithograph of the 40'. Now to build the lighing housing.

Ive been running those same LED bullet lights on my 2500HD since 2006 without fail.

Practicing for when you paint stripes down the sides?

Restored a ULTRA Rare 1973 1 modle year ONLY FAN REAR switch back to UNICORN STATUS .............

Replaced an Saginaw steering box mounting plate that my dad had on the cruiser before buying the cruiser from him a few years ago.
Originally he was going to use the template of FAQ but my dad ended up buying one from BTB products. Not only did he buy it he also removed the old plate and welded the new one on.
First picture is the old plate and before reinforcing the crossmember.

Budget project..,,, never throw away a junk parts....

 

[letterman52]

Well since I’m still stuck teleworking I drank a decent amount of Japanese beer and stripped this guy down to bare metal. Then shot it in high temp primer and paint. Didn’t even miss a meeting.
