Those welding burns are not acceptable on such a nice exsaust!

Exhaust mock up done, we got a v-band near the back for quick removal for any “serious” off-roading.

Fender flares and doors back from paint.

To finish off the doors we will get the B-pillar painted to match, like an 80-series. We just had the doors torn down so it was a perfect time to get the frames painted black. Now we can load up the doors!

The Cruiser will go in for hood, cowl cap and B-pillar paint once it is drivable.

The clutch accumulator and clutch lines came in so we were able to finish this up. Brake proportion valve, vacuum reservoir, fuel filters and so forth all finished up here too.

We had also been waiting for all the little brackets to come in for mounting the A/C condenser. They showed up so we finalized this as well.

I suppose I should have said we need to polish it and it’s done.

I need to stop looking at this as the last thing I do before going to sleep…I literally had a dream about it last night. So perfect.

I dig how you painted the upper part of the doors around the windows black ... looks clean.

what product did you use for this? I'm getting a tank from LRA and want to do the same and not have the raw metal.

Sprayed on seam sealer, requires a special gun.

SEM or 3M make spray seam sealer.

Holy chit! This is bonkers. I wonder about cost to build this. Client must have unlimited resources to afford something of this magnitude.
Super sexy. Can't wait to see it driven.
