I streatched my 40 in the hood and the front fenders. It looks great and most do not know. It was not that hard.
wow. I thought franen40 would be the first. I was wrong.
That cruiser reminds me of the new one just a bit

louvered hood
That would work for compartment cooling. I like the louvers. I do not however like the slam job.

Ok, so I know this is turned into Chat, but this thing is "chopped" a bit off the top and boy do I wish I owned one!

I've been waiting for a time and place to post up these pics of a totally awesome Cruiser I shamelessly stole from the Net.
Total bastardization that is.

All I can say about that rig is WHY?
I do like the 45 although it still is a waste of a classic FJ45

So is that a concept vehicle, early Mega Cruiser or a customized FJ45LV?
I kinda like it.

It's what the FJ Cruiser should have been....
As I understand it that is a truck Rob Millen built for Toyota (for SEMA?), think the LV was widened to fit 80 series chassis and running gear, motor etc. I think it has an almost total

All the reasons we didn't like the FJC.
I really can't see an upside either.
I don't think Millens had a chop. It was stretched and widened.
There is no FJ45 in that truck. It was built from aftermarket parts.
The reason a 40, or 45 looks as good as it does is because it is built around function. Modifying it for forms sake will not make it look better.
That being said I like the rat rod 45. It also has function, just a different one. One that works with a chopped top.

Yard Cruiser.
Build a mini (40) and put a B&S engine in it and give it to your 8 year old kid to drive in the yard;;;; , maybe even stick a mower to it so he can shave the lawn for you. But by the time he is 9 he will be doing SOA.
That is functionality .

About the only thing I hate about the 40 , is the head room.
I don't think I d want to lower the roof.

i just got home and wanted to reply to this post because the one that was posted on craiglist a while back belongs to the guy i bought mine from. his name is john lotin and hes about 75 years old and loves cruisers. he has been building cruisers for about 20 years and selling them. i went to school with his son and the one on the right in the first photo is the one i bought from him. i think he still has the choped one and it is still for sale. he choped 4 inches out of the sides just because he wanted something different and johns kinda short anyway. he has owned it quit a while and is just getting a little tired and has other projects going on so thats why it was for sale.
here is a couple more pics, these are all i have of it though.
