Was doing shocks on my daily yesterday and this came with the parts!

The paint on my 40 has been oxidized for some time…yesterday I started polishing it using some Meguiars ultimate compound. The paint underneath looks almost like new. My project for the next week is to get the whole thing polished when I have the free time. This picture gives you an idea of what it started off as in the bottom portion near the gas cap and the top half is after doing a pass with the polisher.

I saw this exhaust evacuation system on FB Marketplace a few days ago. It was two hours away but in the town my son just moved to. He sent me a message last night that he picked it up and it works great. Now I can run the FJ40 and other cars in the shop in winter without freezing my t(*s off.

Love how this single stage paint can be made to shine. You’ve convinced me that I need to do the rest of mine (tub and top).

Sweet! Cool to see someone get the magnet now! I was curious if/when I'd see it. @asu4runner is the owner now.

finely got all the harness sized, wrapped and installed..... doesn't seem that big a deal and probably isn't but having the '76 column and turn signal switch mated to the '72 harness was a big step for me - totally releived when everything worked. also added a mounting plate for the headlight harness, horn relay etc
Are you building that in your living room? If not, that's the nicest garage floor I've ever seen.
Also it’s a beautiful build. So incredibly clean

As the owner of a capri blue 40, I’m surprised it can look this good.
As someone who has recently touched every single circuit and re-wired from the headlights to the taillights in a 40, HOLY WIRE MANAGEMENT, BATMAN!
This is incredible work!
I uh….i wired up my Dakota digital cluster. Then fought my center arm for 6 hours (not an exaggeration).
My u bolt plates from @65swb45 are somewhere in the USPS network
So I can finish my lift!
Fancy cluster ....!
Just the fact that is is bright white…I love it. Mine is dim, yellowish and not too bright

Is that the original? It does look fancy. Needs some paint thinner and a cotton swab on the high beam indicator!
Even at its best, mine was never 100% functional. The grease on the odometer numbers had turned to glue on the odometer shaft and the odometer gears were subsequently ground smooth.
The Dakota digital RTX sat on my workbench for 11 months before I finally took the time to install it this week. I don’t remember coming across this anywhere, but I had to clearance the pedal support (1967) because the cluster wouldn’t sit flush in the dash opening.
Here is the home-brew cluster that I made for my '73. I never hooked up the fuel, because it had a racing fuel cell without a sending unit. I never hooked up the oil pressure because I was sketched-out about the plumbing. The cluster flashed during turn-signal function, it had a lamp on the speedometer/odometer, you can read water temperature. I bought an FJ40 that came with a piece of unpainted aluminum diamond plate across the entire dash, even the windshield hardware was missing. Actually, I really like the no-dash pads, no dash board appearance - keep it simple and keep it metal. I should have never sold this one, but, I should have never have been so young, either. I was really into button head black oxide Allen screws, back then. You are looking at a photograph from 35mm film - these weren't free back then, so just a few clicks had to be a hundred.
