Steve, if I'm not mistaken I thought you had some buttery soft killer seats going in this build although the Corbeau's don't look too bad either.
Let me guess.....you're saving those for another F body build?

Thank you
 
Marty ... BIG thank you,... Im just super happy that there is a site (Lateral G) with guys like you that appreciate this type of build and the amount of work that goes into something like this. Sure is nice when it all comes together like you imagined
And oh yes Simon ... I do have those wicked seats that are going into the next FJ build ... not an F body build LOL

That'll look so bad ass once you paint it!!


LOL


I love this thing and what you've done with it!

Sweet ! I hope my car interior comes out this good.

So very much love how this turned out!! Well done...

What is the opening between driver's door and front fender and will it stay open or is there going to be a cover for it?

Paint
 
Gee thanks Greg !! .... :catfight:

Ya right Wayne, I have no doubt that yours will be awesome !

Lance those are the kick panel vents (original feet 'air conditioning') and yes I'm going to bond the panels back on, still LOTS of little stuff to do to wrap this thing up

So like ALL seriously modded vehicles we've run in a significant snag (again), the roll up window cranks run right into the new custom roll bar. DOH !! :confused59:

So ... just ordered up a pretty nice universal Electric Life powered window kit, with the GM short spline power crank handle switches. This should be fun as I do not believe anyone has ever tried this conversion yet.

Also, whats so funny is the fact that in the pictures the wheels/tires look like a normal size when in fact they are 35" tall !!

Very nice build, I enjoyed following it. Are you planning to run rear fender flares?

Regards,

Larry

fender flares
 
Thank you Larry ... on this one with the Aqualu aluminum tubs I am not going with rear flares ... and if you saw it in person I think you would agree. My next one the 66' .. this will have the flares

Cheers
Steve

Nice! power windows. I used to hope I could get power out of the engine lol
Do you know what I learned the first winter with my FJ tell you passenger to NOT kick the vent oper just before you go through a 3' flood over the road. But then again she will never it that again!

Intake
 
Lol Wayne ... totally, I think those things are so funny, yet totally useful if you had NO AC !

So, finally fanned up a cold air box for the LS ... next some satin black paint and some powder coating for the lid, and yes proper button head bolts
