I've heard this before.

Jonny's been told to get that rig out of the shop.....it's now in the way. Lucky me.

Cup Holders?

At least 4.... just don't know where or what.......??

Does anyone have an official count of how many tire and wheel combos have been mocked up on this rig?

This thing rules! Not just the no limit aspect of the design ideas but the fabrication work is amazing.

 

[landcruisnman]

Fuel cell is pretty much designed. Funky shape, but it utilizes all available space.. Approx 25-30 gal. Going to fab out of .190" Alum with some baffles.
Closer....

 

[scrapdaddy]

Man, that thing is something. Good job!

 

[landcruisnman]

Can't say I've ever seen a tank shaped like this... Now need to draw it up and cut out the puzzle...then we can figure out actual capacity. Need at least 20 gal.. And it'll come out with the body on..

Heck, I've never seen a running gear like that before, so that tank fits right in. Looks to be more than 20 gals., but close I bet.

EDIT... My guess 26 gals.

Very cool! Subscribed!

I just read this whole thread very cool. I wish I had the means to do some of this type of modding to my pig. This is definite a long build. Keep up the great work.

"This is the year"

I've heard this before.

How about "This is the decade". Yes I'm still, around, LOL. My 45 sits patiently.

 

[DomSmith]

Breaking news....

THIS RIG IS DONE!!!!










Oh wait... no it's not.

 

[xtiaan2000]

NO WAY!

The FJ45 or the landcruiserman machine?

 

[landcruisnman]

Fuel cell panel cut out and waiting for bending and then welding.
After that, steering links, sway bars, pull motor/trans to finish welding in there. Then pull body and paint it....etc..etc..etc

[scrapdaddy]

Hey man, that thing is worth the wait. While we wait, what kind of top are you thinking about, canvas, etc.

 

[landcruisnman]

Same material Icon uses on their tops. European grade material. Won't be cheap bug nothing really is on this build. That's last thing anyway....
