Dats a Big as 40..
The 44's clear the headers, but what about the fenders

 

[DallasFJ40]

Did it clear the garage door?

 

[lrederick]

all new sheet metal day

not bad for a farm boy

 

[lrederick]

had all kinds of room in the fenders

 

[lrederick]

the fender well headers not thats a diferent story. they took up 8 inches in the iner fender

 

[camcruiser13]

how do you have the springs mounted to the frame up front, hard to see

get some more pics

 

[lrederick]

here's a picture of the sheat metal job

not bad for a farm boy with a pair of pliers and a sledge hammer

 

[camcruiser13]

what size tires in the red photo, and yes not to bad for just pliers and a hamma

ya i screwed up doing the fronts. after doing it i wished i would have changed the front springs around. but for what i use it for it didn't really matter. its a weekend grocery getter with the wife. poker runs. onistly it hasn't even seen a rock or mud. i got other toys for that.

if you look close the role cage is made from leftover role cage from my polaris 6x6 and added on. it's heavy enough but i hope it never find the ground

front veiw

this was with the 10 bolt's before it went to a dana 60 thats why there were no rims. in the other pic.

 

[numtel]

Looks huge, what's the wheelbase on that?

 

[West_Racing]

had all kinds of room in the fenders

Where did you get headers for the 454? I just thru away a set of fenderwell hand made headers 2 1/4" tubes. I just made a new set of stainless 2.0" to 2.125" headers to fit inside the frame rails. I like my BBC FJ40 too!
