FJ40 I call Shipwreck

[DanStokes]

How many times have you had the engine in and out? I lost count on Mutt at 12 or 15 or so.

I have no idea, but I changed it up a bit - the motor didn't come out, the body came off the frame... I wasn't going to set the body back on, but I need to do some work on another car - and this was the easiest way to get the pieces out of my way.

Boy does that sound familiar for some reason.......now let me think....hmmm.....

[SuperBuickGuy]

so I didn't get a lot done today on this, I helped the guy who bought the s-eff ten replace ball joints and burned a tree that fell during the winter... but still, a bit

welded


ground


I saw a Jeep on Friday that was pretty close to the color I was thinking I'm going to paint this.... hmmm, I'm thinking no, maybe a bit more red... you know, like my dog


a friend pointed out that it would, effectively camouflage Buick in the FJ40 - I'm not thinking that's a bad thing

Poor be the lady who does not see Buick in the FJ and sticks her head in to look see... WHOOF! (sounds of piddling urine)

[Monster]

Buick is awesome !!!

BAHAHAHAHAHA

[SuperBuickGuy]

I dunno, it seems like cat-lady-crazy to paint it the same color as my dog.

Hmmm? Never thought of it that way.... You do make a pretty valid point, counselor...

[DanStokes]

Is their a legal definition of "cat-lady-crazy"? I know what you mean but I wonder how one would use that diagnosis in court. Paging Dr. Phil......

[SuperBuickGuy]

you have to be careful being sarcastic, ask me how I know

[STINEY]

Just so long as you don't paint your dog to match a car its all good.

[Stewzer55]

He looks like a chick magnet there, but repellant to crazy cat ladies.

[SuperBuickGuy]

oh good Lord is he ever.... chicks dig big things...

[SuperBuickGuy]

not much progress, but I need to ponder how I'm going to support the body while I flip it up on its side

hmmm... Hummer lights


so mostly I've been welding up holes for the moments when I can work on it.... but tonight, I need to make a bench to roll it outside so I can clean the underside then paint it.. but I've not come up with a clever solution - but I did get my frame bench pieces out
