1969 FJ40 Spring Green

[cindysfj]

5 years and 10 months and finally finished Spent a couple years getting mechanicals sorted, upgrade suspension, new tires and original wheels, added a new Dakota gauge cluster with a Holley Snyper throttle body. Ceracoated the manifold and headers. Powder coated the valve cover red. Also had to track down orange cobalt soft top doors and top frame. Then I drove it for a couple years and finally decided to get paint and body taken care of about ten months ago. Gongora Paint and body did a great job with the body, paint, upholstery and custom soft top.
And yes I changed a few things. I wanted the bumpers, soft top frame, and seat frames all powered coated a dark silver

They should sell that dashpad wrap. Think if I contacted them they could make me one and ship it?

Beautiful truck in so many ways. Do we have a new vendor for soft tops?

The guy that did all the interior and the top is definitely an artist but took almost 6 months to complete. Poor communication and Modelo didnt help the process. He has 6 others cars in line .

Good taste never goes out of style. Just gets saggy

$5k for everything….dash, shifter boots, floor mats, seats and the soft top. Not cheap but nothing is these days

6 months you say? He’s the quickest one in the industry by far! If you only knew the history of soft top manufacturing in the US…
Glad you found a craftsman that’s local.
