Atlanta Custom Creations, The southeast's newest TOYOTA shop.

71-CRUISER · 03-02-08, 09:30 AM

Hello,

I wanted to introduce ourselves as the Southeast's newest Toyota exclusive shop. The shop will be run by myself and by buisness partner Brian Dugan. Both of us have been working at a compeeting Landcruiser Shop in Atlanta for the past 2 years however the time was right for both of us to leave and open our own shop called Atlanta Custom Creations www.atlantacustomcreations.com .

We are located inside I285 on the east side of Atlanta. We are technicaly in Scottdale GA which is just east of downtown Decatur.

We will be capable of doing almost anything involving Toyota Trucks. We can do Full frame off restorations including rust repair, as well as Trail modifications from Mild to Wild. We would also love to be your one stop shop for general maininance and upkeep. We can also provide full electrical restorations on FJ40s as well as any electrical upgrades that you might want. We also have a vendor that can build us custom bumpers on a per truck basis.

Here is a link to a 73 FJ55 that I just completed. http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pi...mate-55-a.html

I have included a Picture of my FJ40 which is described in my sig. Brian drives a Locked 94 FZJ80 w/ OME lift and 34ish" BFG ATs but as you all know these LC projects never realy end.

Please feel free to drop us a line and ask what we can do for you.

Thanks

Good luck on your venture. There is a lot of business in the Atlanta area and for that matter the southeast. Come see us at the Georgia Cruiser monthly meeting and introduce yourself.

chattfj40 · 03-02-08, 06:34 PM

Congrats Michael!!

I'll stop by next time I'm in town.

Ya coming to GSMTR this year? I figure you got about 9.5 yrs left before you won't be able to hold the wheel

Seriously, congrats on the new venture and best of luck.

71-CRUISER · 03-02-08, 06:44 PM

Yes we will be at GSMTR. It will be our first big event.

Bodean · 03-02-08, 11:12 PM

Glad to see someone in my neck of the woods. I'm in Kirkwood. May have to stop by soon (after Katemcy) to see the shop.

That photo of your 40 is from the southwest side of town, I can guess where you used to work

chattfj40 · 03-03-08, 03:11 PM

Well since Mike's truck really shows off his mad fab skills.

I thought I'd post up a poser shot of mine. Mike did most of the work on it. I've been happy with the work and thought I'd let ya'll see what the new shop is capable of. This was the only shot I had at work...

Feel free to delete if ya want.

71-CRUISER · 03-03-08, 03:17 PM

Here is Todds Truck getting mesured for shocks.

Oh, and by the way you won't recognise my truck the next time you see it. It isnt very pretty now but since it does have to show off my "mad fab skills" it will be in the near future.

It isn't a secret by any means, just something that I try and not associate myself with if possable.

You Bastard

At least now I know *one* the delays...

LC_Hamma · 03-03-08, 09:20 PM

Fawesome dudes! Great to see another LC shop in town

Wish 'ya LOL lots of luck! Do y'all have experience with hydroboost brakes or hydro assist steering? I have the components & was going to try & DIY, but with my 2

mech skillz, I'd rather not mess it up. I have a Vanco brake system & PSC assist steering on both my current projects....

71-CRUISER · 03-04-08, 06:09 AM

Between Brian and I we can figure out anything you need. We have a sorce for custom Hydrolic hoses which can be the hard part and we are more than capable of doing the fabrication work.

The Leese is officialy signed as of last night so we should be moving in this week. Feel free to stop by anytime and we can discuss your project.

P.S. We will also be at the Georgia Cruisers Meeting tonight at Fudruckers to introduce ourselves.

OUTSIDELC · 03-05-08, 03:21 PM

Mike:

Congratulations on your move. Demand for custom LC work in Atlanta is certainly high... I might stop by to get some estimates on my '85 60. You think your prices will compare to UL?

Delta Place #9

71-CRUISER · 03-05-08, 03:55 PM

Feel free to stop by any time.

Our plan isn't to be the cheapest, just to make the customer think he got his moneys worth.

But yes our prices will be competitive.

fuelgeddes · 03-05-08, 09:57 PM

I will have to stop bye and check it out. You guys are just right down the street ... I have sent and email so let me know.
