Nice original survivor. Even the interior looks great for it's age. Lose that shell, polish it up and it will be fantastic!

Hopefully will be a good runner when finished. How much?

So nice to see everything brand new and clean enough to eat off of.

Not too long ago (20 or 25 years) people were buying diesel automobiles because it was cheaper than gas. Cheaper to refine then, so why is it more expensive to buy now?

In 1963 gas was .20 a gallon. Entry level jobs were $1 an hour, $1.29 in CA. Cars in the US were mostly large US made with plenty of power to spin the wheels and 10-12 mpg was common. Gas stations were service stations and 101 octane from Union 76 cost a few pennies more and cars loved it. No...

Or you can make storage boxes that fit alongside the fender wells.

Never been rusted is nice, but not common. Once you fix the pin hole areas, treat the inside like you would a frame. Eastwood has a spray with a long nozzle for that purpose. Another way is to tape off all holes but one, pour rust-o-leum (or your choice) paint in the frame, tape up that last...

A couple of pin holes doesn't sound too bad. I'd repair it.

Have one sitting on its top in the back of a 57 Ranchero.

That's one of the nicer looking full tops. Looks great!

Picked up more casting for end caps from the foundry two days ago. Drilling and tapping them today. This morning someone on here asked if I still had them. Yes, still making them.

Got the fuel filler lines fitted and installed. Not as easy as it looks. Those lines are stiff. Took a few different tries to get the right combination. After cutting to the right lengths, install on filler neck, feed through frame opening, secure filler neck, and muscle them onto the tank. My...

I didn't have any final pictures of the boxes in this thread. Here they are. . .painted and installed.

Another place to check is Jeep Thrills Off Road in Compton, CA 310 608-3250 It's been 15 years since I was there, but Albert had half tops lined up and bulkheads stacked up. I bought a bulkhead for 200 at the time. I thought it was a little high then, but I choose a near perfect one. I bought...

Hopefully someone in your area has what you need, but if not, try Collins Bros.

Been working on grab bars, wheels, and console pads the last couple weeks. Got low on slate blue and nutmeg so I painted some and are getting them covered. I use one sewing machine without thread only to punch holes in the leather covers for wheels and grab bars. The first group of pads I made...

Today I fitted the carpet and got the shifter boots installed. Then I scrounged up some seat adjusters and got them and the seat brackets together and installed the seats. Nice to have them off of my bench. The trans shifter boot was only 7.99 delivered. I don't know how they can make anything...

Put the hood on. It's starting to look mostly complete.

Went through my tub of tail lights. Did some swapping around of innards and plugs to make a decent pair. Pulled the tail light wiring harness from my rusty postal tub, cleaned it up, installed it and connected up to the under-dash harness. Also put the tail gate brackets and cables and carrier...
