After dreaming for a couple of years of building two of the coolest FJ40's in Canada in completely different visions, we finally made it to the 2019 Toronto Motorama Car show, the biggest indoor car show in Canada.

No we did not win any prizes BUT that's not why I did this. I wanted to bring to Motorama something that had never been done before and likely will never be done again, and the response from those that knew what I had done was simply amazing and thats all that mattered to me.

So here you guys go ... after almost 2 1/2 years of work, you guys pick .... which one would you take ??
Audience response was about 50/50, I'll assume here the odds will be in favour of the Grey 73'

Congrats Steve.Amazing work as you always do:trophy-1302::trophy-1302:

Steve, I have no earthly idea about which one I'd choose. They're both so damn cool that it's ridiculous. Don't ask me to choose. The grey one is meaner looking, but the cream colored/off-white wheels on the blue one just does it for me too.

Thank you everyone !!!

Sincerely
Steve

yes the blue one is not totally complete

Steve,

If I had to choose one, I'd pick the blue one, since I'd like the stance.

Personally, I would combine the stance of the blue one, with the running gear/mechanical of the grey one.

Outstanding jobs regardless.

I like the hardtop and the wheels (actually whole color scheme) on the blue one but I like the running gear on the grey one.

Swap the bodies and wheels onto the other frames and blue one wins hands down!

Best in Class
 

So they called me like a week later and asked me if I was picking up my award for Best in Class 4X4 for the 73' Grey one ... lol, nice of them to tell me when I was actually there
