So I have posted on introductions but need to update with pictures.
Car was subframed with Crites connectors but the I called Mike Maier inc.
After I saw Big Johns 66 Fairlane on youtube. After talking with Mike on the
Phone we put together a plan. I have been involved in a few cars mostly with
other owners but the lesson learned taught me that a chance to have professional imput has been a great help. Saved me money by plenty, thank you
Jason Rushforth designs and Mike Maier inc. (not shameless plugs, these guys
Really are living the dream)
Anyway, so far I had to put floor boards in it, Mike Maier inc front upper and lower control arms, JRI shocks. I was able to install a convertable only mount fender brace mount so that will allow a strut brace installation.

Cool parts Wayne! I know you've got other pictures....and what are the overall plans of the car? Big John's car was one of my favorites at Thunderhill, raw with lots of backyard ingenuity, heck of a nice guy also.
Can't go wrong working with guys like Mike Maier and Jimmy Rushwheel, both are talented and have been there, done that. :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing how this comes together.

:cheers:

The FJ40 was a error in judgement on my part. Once it sells I will be shopping for a motor.
