Glad I found this place. Lots of entertaining useful information. I bought my first when I was 16. I’m 65 now and on my second. This one has been out in the yard neglected since November 2011. Just resurrected.

Glad to see your Patrol is in such great shape. Maybe you have some great stories and maybe pictures from way back with your Patrol you can share with us?

A little emery cloth, some new fuses, a little fancy masking tape insulation and voila. We have some lights.
Next up: some new alternator bearings, a new choke cable, Rochester carb rebuild, the squeaky wheel gets some attention, adjust the hand break etc. etc. etc.

Front wheel reveal. Lots of patina here. Brakes in good shape, it must be the back squeaking. Note the many generations of spiders that have made this wheel home. The custom one sided white paint job with dripping paint on the inside. Rims are 7.5” x 16” off of Chevrolet PU. Centers turned out on a lathe to go over the hubs, grave digger set up.
