Default 40 Wacker

Here is another one I just got done making, The hardest part was masking off all the windows for the black trim.. I got a set of decals from run2jeepn and cut out the grill, And painted the rubber on the outside of the rear fenders to give it that scale look... I still have more detail to do to it and build a rear tire carrier for it... Here are some pics for now..

If you really wanted something different then there is always metallic purple! Did you paint the flares on both sides?

HAHA, Thanks charles.. I am cutting an original unpainted fj40 body to use for a boyer tuber I am recieving, So I will be cutting parts off of the body like the diamond plate to use on this one in the pic to give it that bolt on look..

Sure did, I painted the inside of the flare black, And then added the rubber on the outside.. So if you manage to scrape the side, It wont show through to a body color or something like that..

Dont be too mad at me, I cut up a perfectly good FJ body that I got from halfcab (Thanks Bro) for the diamond plate.. No really I am gonna be using the original for a tuber project coming up. Sooooo Instead of throwing away the unused rear of the shell I decided to use parts of it on FJ wacker here...
