Livin' the dream bro.. Love it. Where can I buy a t-shirt?!

[cruisermatt]

I just drove by but nobody home

Im across town right now but will be back there after dark to prep my race car for track day tomorrow

 

[JMZ400]

All good buddy. Was just in town with the family and thought I'd drop by. What race car is this you speak of?

 

[cruisermatt]

Some neat building updates. I put up some cheap privacy screens on the back fence. Really happy with this, definitely cleaned up the look of the outside. One day i will build a nice solid metal fence. I still need to paint that damn north wall too.

Neighbor finally scrapped two of the nasty vans too.

And today, I actually got to put my own truck up on my own lift! Feels good.

 

[JMZ400]

Is your lift just that tall?

 

[cruisermatt]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 60 roof I stashed up there. I need to get that down and figure out a better spot. Maybe i should just install it.. only been storing it for 4-5 years

One huge goal for this year is to really solidify and market my product lineup, and a big component to that is going to be a online store.
I have about a half dozen more ideas to produce, hopefully most of those materialize in the next few months.

For now, here's some examples of what Ive been up to. I have a bunch of little stuff like
shifter brackets, etc too.
the next step is finishing my development on these for the 80 series, which i see as a huge platform for swaps.

FJ62 plug and play transmission swap wiring, H55f and 4l60/80e

FJ62 transmission swap plug & play wire harnesses solutions H55/42 and 4L60/80

Hey guys. LS swapping your FJ62 using 4l60 or 4l80 auto? H55 or H42 swapping your FJ62? I developed plug and play harnesses for both conversions, no more need to struggle with getting crimpers into the tight quarters so you can hack your original wiring, simply plug these in and be done in...

60 LS swap motor mount weld-in kit, using the GM original mounts.

LS Swap motor mounts

This is a setup I came up with to use GM-style engine mount, Anchor part # 2909, found on virtually all GM trucks and SUV's equipped with LS-style engines from 1998 to about 2013. These are commonly found and a great mount to use for your swap. However, they can be tricky to use for your project...

Got a absolutely beautiful survivor 78 dropped off over the weekend for a build. One of the very best I’ve seen, definitely the best original 40 I’ve had in the shop yet. Can’t even find a cut wire on it which is a first as far as I’ve seen.
Got some big plans for this one. Some are not going to like it but it will be pretty awesome when it’s done.
