This might be my favorite shot.....it was a nice day so I rolled the 45 out and got some pinup shots.

there are more shots here:

Our two trucks should get together for a photo shoot. I think there's a wormhole that opens when more than one restored fj45 comes within 100 miles of one another. We might actually be able to walk on the moon or something.

Thanks!
Too clean.....Yeah, it's stressful to drive on busy roads....too many knuckleheads out there that think they can talk on the phone, text, eat, change lanes, and talk to their passenger in their minivan....all while doing 70mph. Friggin idiots. No rear bumper=one paranoid Barry.

I know exactly what you mean about driving it around. Think i am going to make a rear bumper kinda like Matt did on his build.
I like the looks i get while driving it down the road but sometimes they just need to concentrate on the road also.

Very nice Barry! Is that Garyland (sp) in the background?
Also - what camera are you using? I'm about the buy an entry level DSLR. I've been using my Dad's Nikon D80 and like it but was curious what you where shooting with.

Graylyn? NO.....that's my house and yard dude....
Okay, well no, it's Reynolda house and graylyn. I took a bunch of shots as fast as I could and got out of there. The cops showed up when I was in the front yard at Reynolda house. He wasn't really sure what I was even doing......
It's a Canon Rebel T1i with the HD video recording as well. Pretty happy with it, but definitely still learning it. I took a few videos out on the sailboat and it did very well. The cool part is you can be taking video, then press the shutter button and catch a 15 megapixel still right in the middle of filming.
I need to get a wide angle for it, a tripod, and some lighting. If I play my cards right, I'll be writing it off to biz expense and earning some cashola with it.

Gracias.
I can't take all the credit for it though. The painter that did the body really knows his stuff. You can certainly get that level of painting yourself, but having done it on the 40 now, I know there's quite a bit involved to get it that smooth.
If I ever do another restoration or new-build 40, this guy will get my business again.

WOW. That's almost too perfect. Beautiful.
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous 45!
