Instagator project 40

lilyota · Feb 16, 2012

Well since i finally got my star figured i would share the next project.

Started as a 1977 FJ40, decent runner and the usual rust and only 1500 dollars. She got the Toyota knocked out of her, and a 60 in the front with a 14 bolt in the rear, then some 40s but found out those were to small and stepped up to 44s. Soon to have a fully plated frame with a SBC 465 and a twin sticked 205, chromollys and long field joints,5:38 and full hydro.just to start
