NO,NO, That's not me

I like the green? FJ!

Here is the update.

>> Decided to cut the roof and make a new interior:-P I made temporaly interior with paper. also, cut the rear fender a little.

I am still thinking about tires

I not going to use the tire on the pic, but like the size. They are about 5". so, maybe Masher 2k???

This build is going to be slow... because, i have to take care about baby

So, are you going to get this fj??

oh, possibly.

since brian from rcp has my old red one and dustin has my fj45 now, i guess a new cruiser could be built.

dont forget to have the steering wheel on the left

panaosonic · 01-27-2007, 08:37 PM

I will make the steering wheel on " Right " side

because all the car in Japan they are right side drive

Nao, you're a madman! Only you could do justice to a build like this. I sure am glad that I'm close enough to see this rig in person!

microgoat · 01-29-2007, 09:34 PM

Really diggin' the topless look

You gonna put in a cage?

I like the tires you're not going to use. They have a pretty realistic tread pattern and you don't see them every day. What are they? Also, the black wheel centers look sweet.

panaosonic · 02-01-2007, 09:06 PM

Thanks Vince

Yes, Yes, I will make some cage:-P The tires are came with Mountainner when i got from Scooteracing. I am not sure what are they

Here is the progress

>> I made prototype interior with paper.

>> After that, I made with wood. I will make a mold from this and cast later.

Amazing work dude....Nice.

gottoy · 02-02-2007, 02:23 AM

hi there,

amazing work there!

I have just one question, what tranny are you going to use? stampede won't fit...R2 maybe but will still get in the way of the

interior...

1BadJeepBruiser · 02-02-2007, 07:54 AM

WOW dude, that interior is looking saweet! I cant wait to see it all done with a cage

panaosonic · 02-02-2007, 05:49 PM

Thanks guys

I am thinking about R2 tranny or GD600 with nitro stampede tranny

panaosonic · 02-03-2007, 06:26 PM

The Recaro seat was little small for this 1/8 FJ:-( So, I sculpted new seat today.

Trikster · 02-03-2007, 06:34 PM

Um, holy crap?! Are you working with resin or is that chair made out of wood too?

juggsterr · 02-03-2007, 06:58 PM

You know, I have that same problem all the time...stuff is to small or to big so I just make a even better version in a larger or smaller size...

DUDE that is awesome

I cant wait to see the rest of the interior

panaosonic · 02-04-2007, 07:18 AM

Thanks guys:-P I sculpted with clay, then made mold and cast plastic
