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.

Found a decent windshield frame still need to paint match it.

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.

Man the weathering on this looks really terrific. I especially like the rust around the windows. Very cool.

I think I’m finished with the weathering/painting now I need to get the winch working, I’ll post some pics of that process too.

It's really, really nice. It looks very realistic and with the real pictures I would definitely think there was a 1: 1

Thanks RideDK

I took it into the muffler shop this morning, not sure I like their method of getting to the underside but hey.
