FJ40 I call Shipwreck

[Beagle]

Dogs will surprise you. When I was a kid, the resident lick monster bit a neighbor in the ass while he was talking with Dad. That's the only person she ever bit. Didn't even growl, just snapped. She didn't bite him hard, but I was in shock that she bit anyone. I think she could smell that I didn't like the guy.

I'm confused on the purpose of the 2x3 in the back?

tire carrier

also a

Beagle confusing device....

I see it's worked for at least one task

[Beagle]

Ahhh... okay. Yeah, I guess it worked. I was gonna guess it folded out to make a fishing platform, but I thought I'd check first.

fish have no reason to fear me.

between a 40" spare tire, 3 - 5 gallon cans of fuel, 1 - 5 gallon container for water and the hi-lift jack, there is substantial weight on those....

Dan, yes accents are hard to lipread.. So are sneers, jutted lower jaw and various mis-shaped mouths..

Aaron, looks like you are getting close to a new year's day startup?

Hope I wasn't TOO bad!

Folks - Bob's ability to communicate is nothing short of amazing. Seems like if he can see you he can "hear" you. I have great respect - heck, I often have trouble with Redneck!

I've found it's easier to simply presume the worst - saves all sorts of time.

I'd like to, but it will happen when it happens.

I just get told that i don't listen....

[SuperBuickGuy]

I just get told that i don't listen....

the appropriate response to that line is always "huh?"

[SuperBuickGuy]

now I can take the body back off




I need to do a latch or two and brace the mounts.... still, now I know where everything goes so I can start focusing on getting this running

[SuperBuickGuy]

Party tonight, and I've learned that no matter how well you clean up and build stuff - if it's apart people have no clue.... so today, I did some paper mache work












never mind a stiff breeze would scatter the parts, ah well, it wasn't all wasted, I need to a lot more fitting on the front end before I paint the skirts, hood and grill so it's not a complete waste of time... just mostly a waste and an opportunity to head the gossips off at the pass

[SuperBuickGuy]

I'm parting it out - the new plan is that motor in an FJ45 or FJ55.... just need to find the donor body.

That thing is looking so badass. You gotta be pleased with it.

Edit: Hey I went w/ a bud to pick up a car in Marysville to drive to L.A. end of Nov, I almost made us stop and look ya up to see the projects. Concerns about time and getting shot at in the driveway (or eaten by dogs) prevented it.
