If they cut the top off or chopped it about 12-14", flat blacked the whole thing, white walls, it wouldn't look half bad.

That's what I was thinking, or maybe hit with a little OD, kinda looks like a half assed Bucket-T made with a CJ and painted in 70's era Jeep colors

Top definately needs to come off. Something like this would have been cool. http://cgi.ebay.com/HOT-WHEELS-2009-...d=p3286.c0.m14 |

Agreed - lose the top. But with that body, why not keep it a little different? 9 out of 10 "rat-rods" are flat black, with a Mexican blanket covered bench seat, and white-wall tires. If you're going to be different, be different. I say make it flat olive drab. Keep the bucket seats - but switch them out for old military style ones, and maybe throw some camo-print fabric on 'em. As for tires, no white-walls. Something with an agressive tread, but still rolls nice on the road, to give it an off-road look. And maybe a winch on the front, just for kicks. Give it that rat-rod/military/off-road mash-up look  |

I love that FJ rod, Richard Graves did an awesome job on it. I really wanna go hack up a Pro-Line shell now.  |
