Crawler007 FJ40 build Well I’ve had this truck for about 4yrs now and have never finished building it, that hasn’t stopped me from running it though. I’m tired of looking at the light tan color so I ordered some tamiya paints and got to work. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...94fa80e688.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5661619ba6.jpg Added a dent or two https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...311de23f28.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4a398c05ed.jpg A little mustard and white. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...717e9becfb.jpg And started a partial restoration (got the front fender in primer. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...82313c68d4.jpg Found a decent windshield frame still need to paint match it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3093c57572.jpg Added some stripes that turned out to resemble an aloe mail jeep (just worked out that way) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...30ff380a83.jpg Pulled the old number and and winch https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...abef555021.jpg Got some paint of them. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...16a48d660d.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f26ceb4869.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9fc49c1770.jpg Will do some weathering once I get everything painted.

Re: Crawler007 FJ40 build Thanks for the interest guys, here’s an update. Still have more rust work to do it I’m to the stage where I will add some clear so thought I would put most of it together for a few pics. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...edfd30a217.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5ef9f7f1af.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0ce10c4beb.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4cb8e89dde.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cdb18d09d2.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...82f2b86da9.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Crawler007 FJ40 build Man the weathering on this looks really terrific. I especially like the rust around the windows. Very cool. |

Re: Crawler007 FJ40 build It's really, really nice. It looks very realistic and with the real pictures I would definitely think there was a 1: 1 |
Re: Crawler007 FJ40 build Thanks RideDK I took it into the muffler shop this morning, not sure I like their method of getting to the underside but hey. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2469605594.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...98f0f1ece7.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
