FREE FJ55 T-Shirt (previously titled: In need of a front end 40 series picture)

[Mike Shull]

Hi all. I am posting this here in addition for o my post in the vendor section as I am in need of a factory front end shot of a 40. It doesn’t have to be a great image. I just need something clear enough to trace the rest of this drawing.

I am making a new t-shirt design for my store. Thanks in advance!

Maybe?

Can probably find more outlines of 40’s on etsy or shopify. I bought a bunch of key hangin racks as gifts last year from this guy, he has all the landcruiser models and many others. I was thrilled with the quality.

Does this fit the bill?

 

[Mike Shull]

These are perfect! Evan’s drawing is close to cheating and I can use that to get my angles right. 78crzr will help me get the body lines right.

I appreciate Bob’s effort, too, though that is my Cruiser and someone cut it up when they were 16, then again 30 years later and all of the body lines are messed up.

Mike, you opened a Pandora’s Box for 40 front ends

 

[Mike Shull]

hahahaha. We might as well keep it going. It is "Front End Friday" after all!!!

Thank you all for the pictures!!! I used them all. What do you think? Keep posting those front ends!

 

[Mike Shull]

Here is another version. This will need a little more work to look period correct.

This is a sweet looking Cruiser! I'm zooming in on that grill and I have some work to do

 

[devo]

I don’t know Mike, it’s maybe the wrong grill?

Square grille, 70 series turn signals, nipples, mirrors, hard top cap vents. Gonna keep Mike's AI helper very busy with edits!

I'm offended! I am drawing this in Illustrator

Here is another shirt...but I'm stopping if my work is so bad that it looks like AI is at work...or maybe that's a complement. hahaha!!! Actually, I'm stopping because my eyes hurt.

Your bezel is upside down...

 

[Mike Shull]

This is all Ian and Tim's fault. @BombCity @RevISK

Apologies Mike, thought you had said you were using AI for your artwork. Carry on, it looks great.

Wake me when the square bezel surfaces.












(Good job Mike)
