63 CA Patrol - "Pumpkin"

[RiverPatrol]

Bummer. I sent a set to TX via UPS, I was actually surprised they all made it.

Alright boys, the old girl is back up on her own 4 feet again. Springs came through first week of Feb and everything fits great. I ended up taking the top off as well, revealing the beautifully untouched stock blue paint below. The top might have been holding the body together a little bit. I can see some cracks in the terrible bondo job so I took off the spare tire to relieve some of that pressure. I'm not excited to see all the bondo when I eventually try and peel the rhino lining off. Previous owners wedged two nails into the passenger door hinge, so I had to remove that door by unbolting the hinge from the body. In the process I ripped the bottom hinge off, so she will remain doorless until I can find a new hinge. I just had my new bumper made as well and will send to powder coat this week.

Does anyone have a door hinge they would be willing to part with? I'm also on the hunt for an original hood emblem.

This week I will see if the 255/85r16 KM2s will fit, powder coat, and addressing my oil leak. I'll keep y'all posted.

Yes, Your Pumpkin sits rather kingly. Well done.
Patrolling again soon,

It's been a while since my last update. The old gal has been enjoying summer with the top off, running great and getting tons of attention. Sadly, our time with the Patrol will be coming to a close. I will be testing the waters on selling her shortly.

Here's some pics for the mems.
