Thanks!
I hope I do you proud!
My goal is to have it done by thanksgiving and all the bugs worked out by Christmas. I am planning on driving it to Katamsy 2008.

LOL!
My neighbor came down last night. He has been watching this build from his front porch about 1/2 mile away up on a hill.
He asked me if I needed any help with my "Roadster". His Dad had 38 something or other and he thought they were cool hotrods.
I laughed until I realized he was serious. I explained what I was doing and he wished me luck and left.
I've got to get this done or at least inside the shop.
LOL!

It will be registered as a 1974 FJ40 since that is what the cab is/was and the VIN plates stayed the same, etc.
I'll have to have it inspected for the frame number.

Don said he would post them up on his site. I have to drop off some stuff at you shop on Friday anyway. Seats, H42 and the rest of the stuff will go up the hill for the 45 Run.

OK All
I stopped by today on the way to the FJ45 Run and saw the rig. I looks outstanding. Don fitted me for the seatr I brought and the cage should be 100% done in the next few days.
I took several pics but I'm on a different computer so there is no way for me to post the up.

The final details were worked out tonight. Between now and when I pick the rig, up a few more things are being done other than just the cage.
