[@tullygoegan3169]

Gday mate Love your videos I’m a young bloke giving my HJ47 resto a crack These thinks love to rust! Cheers for taking the time to make your content Tully

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Yep, Rust is a default for these cruisers😂

[@dannyconelly1454]

Homs Are awesome. When Daniel rolled his ute on OCKA '18 he chipped in straight away with a voucher. Keep plugging away mate, and we'll see you on OCKA '20

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks Danny, yes Homs is very helpful and knowledgeable guy! I certainly hope to get my 40 seires down to OCKA!

[@Daddy53751]

I love it! My motto “if I can’t take my dog, why would I go?”

[@KennyJoe01]

Thank you very much for showing us how to repair these classic beauties.

[@Route_rat]

Another great vid mate. Enjoying watch the old bus get a new lease on life. Mine will be getting it's second major rebuild in the new year.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

That's what I love about these old cruisers, everything on the 40's is rebuildable.

[@Route_rat]

@@40ChannelCruiser Yep. Had mine for 21 years now. Not much left of the original car now because of its modifications but it turns heads wherever it goes.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Are you on Instagram/Facebook with photo's of your cruiser. I'll love to see what you have done with it.

[@Route_rat]

If you're in the 40 Series owners of Australia page you would've seen my old bus. I'm one of the admin

[@bfjax2]

Appreciate these videos. You really help break down tasks into achievable projects that have previously intimidated me. Always a treat to hear this accent here in the American South (South Carolina). Giveaway would be a nice help to my own endless FJ40 project. Thanks!

[@40ChannelCruiser]

G'day Ben, great to hear that I have support from the south of the US of A. Yep the project do feel unless, but is great to look back at how much has been achieved instead of looking at how much has to be done.

[@SPEAKKEASYY]

Mate this 40 is gonna be a rippa! Can't wait to see how she turns out, might even see you at OCKA 2020? That's if my 47 would stop rusting! Anyways cheers legend keep it up.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks you Aussie Rebel.... It would be nice to have it completed by OCKA.

[@SPEAKKEASYY]

@@40ChannelCruiser Yeah wouldn't! Mines looking a bit worse for wear

[@Jaker-1267]

Outstanding work! Come to Oklahoma, US next May, we'll go tornado chasing!

[@40ChannelCruiser]

That's sounds awesome, Hopefully one day!🌪

[@iandenholm2198]

40's Rule! Great job on bringing her back to life, from NZ.

Ian you are the winner! Congratulations, contact me on Instagram @40channel.

[@jameswarnke5368]

This is very helpful for those who have not tackled this job. I wish it was around when I started my restoration.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks James.

[@ericswilley357]

Great video- thanks so much for the info. Just got my 40 and have to do the same repairs... cheers from Hawaii!

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Great to hear you have joined the 40 club.

[@joyridaz]

I always assumed u install the rear sill before those patches, but now that I’ve seen this process it makes sense

[@Ssking1985]

Looking great! Good advise for my upcoming restoration. I would love to see some video of the spot welding.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks, I will try and put a little something together to show the welding and spot welding on the next video.

[@MrStolarsky]

I second that. I don't if that was mentioned but I always see you tacking on between clamps and few scenes later the weld is continues. I understand it's a series of short welds in different places around the piece?

[@40ChannelCruiser]

I have just made a DIY video of the process I use for welding the panels when doing rust repair and how to replicate a spot weld. I hope this helps. Thanks for your support and suggestions.

[@MrStolarsky]

@@40ChannelCruiser watched and liked! Great job replaying to comments that fast :) Just don't let us make you into DIY channel!

[@gordonlivingstone985]

Kingsley is outstanding - as you say, could not recommend his work highly enough.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks for your support Gordon, Not only is Kingsleys work amazing he is a very helpful guy too.

[@keanwoodall7598]

just watched every vid on your channel. great stuff mate. in the process of doing a 40 ute cab on a 80 chassis 1hdt. the 40 needs lots of rust repairs and your vids made me a lot more confident that i can do them myself.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Sounds like an awesome built you have going!

[@christopherpoulton9124]

Thanks for the advise, got a couple of tips from watching that.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks Chris.

[@michaelmckinley5967]

Great videos, keep up the great work. I will send you pictures of the new badge on my 40. Thars the last badge piece for my restoration.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks, great to hear you're so close to finishing your restoration!

[@TarrenSummersFJ40L]

I also have the rear end of a FJ40 rusted out and whilst I make my own panels your guidance and step by step vids are great. Good on you for taking the time to put this together and guiding people so that they have a crack themselves. I would point out that mistakes will be made and mistakes can be fixed. Just don't expect the job to be perfect on the first attempt.

[@neilvuong]

nice job buddy 👍 I am learning how to weld and hopefully I don’t burn through all the panels.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Great to hear your having a go, use some scrap steel the same thickness of what you wish to welding on, and use it to set up and practice on. I have no doubt you will get it right!

[@tomstepp6945]

Do you take a really deep breathe before you put the cut off wheel to your 40?

[@donnareed3822]

Thanks for the information about Kingsley. I will check out there website I’m just starting on my 78 cruiser

[@40ChannelCruiser]

You can't go wrong with Kingsley!

[@sdfsava]

Hey man, great work and shot for the tips, learning allot and will save me time screwing up and learning on my rig!

[@philkrenelka4324]

You do some incredible work and your videos are very well done. Please keep up the work.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Don't worry I keep it up until it finish, and then I'll like to get my hands on a FJ45/HJ45 and start again.😅

[@MrStolarsky]

Great job as always, and I will most definitely be talking to Kingsley about few of my panels. I have my Toyota badge in a good condition, so no need to count me in :)

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks mate, Kingsley's work is amazing. You will not be disappointed!

[@tommytom13703]

Hi again, awesome video again. Did you lift the rear body for the replacement? Ricky FM4wd

[@noahsarkis6673]

Hey mate, trying to do the rear sill on my 78 40 and noticed that you took off body mounts off, did you take all of them off to lift the body or just the rear? Cheers

[@JK-pk7nj]

Thanks for posting the info it's been helpful.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

You are welcome JK, thanks for the support.

[@theacreelife]

I know that this might go against the restoration ethos, but surely there is a modification that you can make now to stop the rear quarters rusting in the future. Maybe some alterations to the panel work inside the rear guard. Have you thought of doing that?

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Yes you are right, you can buy fibreglass panels and tubs which will never rust. (But I'm not a fan but I have also have no experience with them) I do like the steel as it is what am used to working with and in the U.S you can buy aluminium panels and Tubs. I have primed and painted in the inside so hopefully this will protect the steel for the next 40 years.

[@theacreelife]

40 Channel Yeah I have seen those alloy tubs and am not a fan. Same with fibreglass. I have often thought that I would want to modify under those rear arches to stop future problems.

[@starpuss]

I was Looking into his replacement parts , If he is willing to ship to Canada i think ill get my body parts from him I need to redo the back of mine LOL!

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Yes I know Kingsley has shipped parts all over the world. I sure he can help you with what ever body panels you will need.

[@testmalik]

Did you get the parts from him. I need parts.and the li k is not working
