Diesel FJ40, 1974FJ

Haha, thanks John, my dad definitely Rocks!

Was able to get the inside completely stripped down. Most of the dents and wreck wrinkles out(didnt really care that much) and shot some primer on. Im gonna head back home this weekend to bedline the interior and start finishing up the rest of the hard-top panels for final paint.





 
Pretty pumped about the red interior bed liner!!



Was fortunate to have my dads help once again. Couldnt do this project without him

 
Thats all for now, this is where i am currently. Please forgive the posts, i simply copied and pasted them from another thread of mine so some might not make sense. Stay Tuned

Very nice work. Keep us up to date as you finish this.

I told you bout them swingers Martin. :flipoff2:

Glad you finally posted it up!
 
yea sam, Sitting in raleigh makes it easy to webwheel...
 
One of the sweetest builds I have seen yet!
 
looks good, you might have a hard time bleeding those rear brakes with the wheel cylinder on the bottom like that.
 
Very nice work! :beer:

Gonna be sweet to hear that turbo spool up!! :wheel:
 
Started my Metal Tech tube fenders. This was FUN!!
It wasnt very hard. Getting started took the longest,seeing as how they're arent many directions(none). Once i figured out everything i dove right in...

Had to mount the hood and bolt on the aprons and everyhting to make sure panels were in they're final positions as to not have surprises later. I would suggest having somebody around for an extra set of hands. I had to use tons of wood blocks and anything else i could find.









 
Since my original fenders were all bent up from my wreck i had no problem cutting them so i could use the inner fender liner to close off the engine bay. I know mtweller did this and it turned out really nice and professional looking, so i copied that design. The most difficult part of this build was the the sheet metal skins. Ive only done the drivers side so maybe the passenger will treat me better.







 
Nice 40 man...
 
Getting there:





This is neat to see, but its gonna get covered.
