Hi Cory, i said i would post up some pics of this thing i have growing in my basement. Firstly though i have not given up on my other projects, the FJ40 is a work in progress, back as a rolling chassis from being down to the bare frame. The BJ60 is on hold, but only till i can get my shop finished. The car i started cause it fit in the basement of my house. Anyways here are some pics, sorry they took me so long.    |

My son and i brought it in and put it up on stands, i won't say it wasn't hard but we managed just fine. They say the finished weight of the car is 2350 LBS so pretty light.   |

The kit normally uses KONIs but i went with adjustable QA1s. Steering rack is Mustang unit.The aluminum panels are pre cut and bent but you have to drill and pop rivet them in place.   |

Motor is an aluminum Robert Pond Racing block of 482CI with ported aluminum Edelbrock FE heads. 621 HP & 604 FTLBS   kit was made to take the Tremec TKO 5 spd with a cable clutch but i am going to put in a Tremec 6spd with an internal slave.  Motor in.   Came with cable throttle as well, it had to go. I made up mechanical linkage for a more correct look.  |

Other tires are 17"Nitto's, I don't really like the 17s but they are road legal for getting through inspection.I like the 15s a lot more and they are more correct. With the Nitto's i have spinners to kep em on.  |

Motor back out, i have to do some work on drivers side engine mount. Block is a "Side Oiler" so the Dr side mount is different that a normal FE so i have to modify the chassis a bit.  |
