Hi Jeff! Glad you dropped by! :greetings-wavingyellow: You certainly have been doing a good job collecting those Patrols. You need to create a photo album here and share them all with us. Post or PM the VINs for them all so we can add them to the Registry. Enjoy the forum! :mrgreen:

Been working on the soft top Patrol lately. Put a spare motor in it that I had purchased a while ago. Found the upright pieces for the soft top frame. Already had the hoop and tin pieces that go over the doors. Now just need to make the rear hoop and center hoop along with the horizontal pieces. I have a tubing bender that I used to bend the race car roll cages with. It is a small hydraulic unit that I bought at Williams Low Buck Tools out of northern Calif. For my 50th birthday, my wife bought me the 1 inch die for the bender so now I can bend up the frame work to match the original. Even bought some 1 inch .095 wall thickness tubing. Just have to get some warm weather... its been in the freezing range up here.... and no heat in the shop..yet... Good to see this site up and running. :)
