Great work fellas, good to see the whole family getting into it.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thank mate, I'm very thankful to have everyone willing to get involved and help!

[@DB-lm1nj]

It’s coming along nicely! Love to see the family getting involved.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Thanks mate, great to have them all on this project.

[@rosendofj40bigblock7]

Lots of good work getting done, That bully liner looks like it sprayed on real nice,

Great Job! I have owned this exact model for about 15 years and I love it. It’s known in the family as The Limo. Mine was originally made for the police force but was sold to the public instead. The body was galvanised so it has zero rust. The paint had fallen off when I first got it so all I had to do was have it painted. I’m looking forward to seeing how yours comes out. It’s looking great!

[@40ChannelCruiser]

That's forward thinking in galvanising the body. This build is a bush ready build, so won't be show room quality. But great for camping and 4WDing.

[@DavoShed]

@@40ChannelCruiser Restored to use. I love it.

[@janellesmart6332]

Brings back memories of doing up our shorty 16 yrs (on and off )in the making now it’s finally on the road and we’re enjoying it

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Great to hear you saved another 40 series and that you get to use it. Well done!

[@pedrazzal]

Hey mate. Love your cruisers! I was wonder where you get your panels made. I feel like you mentioned it once but can’t seem to find it. Keep up the good work

[@jacks86australia]

Hey mate, what products would you recommend to seal up a chassis? I've hot water blasted it, sanded and rust treated the areas that needed it and painted the chassis. I want some kind of penetrol, lanolin type product that I can spray every year or so to keep the underside rust free? Also any suggestions on a cavity sealer for doors etc?

[@40ChannelCruiser]

If you check out R88 from Chemtools this stuff is awesome. Lanolin is a great option too, spray on every couple of months.

Great Job! Where did you get your rear corner patch panels? From the states

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Made in Australia 🇦🇺, a friend had a share set.

[@McHumaty]

Why do you heat the place where the new part will be welded? 3:40 More specifically, why did you only do the inside and not the outside? or was it done and not shown?

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Hi mate, the metal was very cold on this morning, by pre-heating the metal it reduces the cooling rate of the weld and drives out moisture as well as minimises the temperature difference between the material and the arc, only need to heat one side as the heat travels through the metal.

Degrease patch panel, altleast scuff patch panel before painting, Installing?

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Yes, mate, all cleaned up with Chemtools Wax and Grease remover, then painted with weld through primer before being installed.
