Builds FJ45/62LV (1 Viewer)

[phat73cruiser]

I started this build at my old house, build a shop under my deck just for this project. ( you’ll see you why later )
Setting up a plan
Started by building new body mounts to the A&B pillars . Now that the truck is supported . I made the whole platform of the vehicle built off of 2 x 6 rocker panels , could even be rock sliders .
This way I could out fit the 62 floors on top of the 2 x 6 rockers to Weld down to
Welded in a bunch of angle to structurally support the body of the vehicle.

Thanks for the gasket kit Chris!
I can’t resist but to post some pictures of the FedEx truck stuck in my front yard .View attachment 1655748 View attachment 1655749 View attachment 1655751 View attachment 1655754 After being stuck in my yard the man tells me there’s a lot of packages in the back of the truck that look like that???

Probably easy to get him out after unloading a few thousand pounds of Cruiser parts

So you thought this out and didn’t just start jamming stuff together.

I should try that.

I have been torn on what to do about my rockers.. I want to keep the long curve that they have but it is a total PITA to try to replicate the 2x6 or 2x4 tube is appealing since it is pretty simple. looking forward to the rest of the build..

I cut down the 2 x 6 tube , later in the build. I had to wait and put the doors on to follow the curve of the doors .
