I want pics man.

 

a few pics

Had to rebuild the entire floor but it made it easier to fit the 93 frame.


just made the floor pans flat.*Note where I got the steel for the pans ,their thick.


dash on its way back in. took hours to free up the wiper arm shafts.(they needed to go in at the same time)


mostly in,fitting the colum.


made a custom steering shaft



Had this short throw "riser" made from aircraft aluminum also picked up a battery tray and rad. over flow


this is the shifter after short throwing and adding a 3spd fj40 shifter to extend it.



Last fit for the mock motor. every thing fits!


the stance will end up a bit lower than this,aprox 1 inch. (w/3inch control arms,2inch spindle,bj flip,215/75/r15s and 1 ton torsion bars)

 

Nice!

 

some photos I took yesterday

 

Looking good man. Stance looks nice.

 

really wish you woulda left it red, otherwise thanks for sharing your build.

 

where did you find the hula girl? i really want one.

 

lookin good, makes me wish mine was farther along....

you said you lowered yours with torsions? my 65 has coils in front

EDIT: never mind missed the part where you swapped out the frame

 

Its was more red/rust than red.

my girl. sumitt or jegs maybe?

Well lowering with torsions is a fine tuning. Its 6in already. but yes its a 93 frame. note the frame under the nose.

 

wow i forgot all about this truck lol. good to see your still working on it, its coming along great!

 

i really love the look of those twin side-draft carbs!! very cool!

 

Painted with echin primer and fit up

Clamps between each bolt holding to the roof. the roof became very strong at this point.

 

brakemaster and booster from the 1ton, heat sheild from a turbo truck.looking to modify the master and install two small reservors, like the early trucks and fjs.Also finished the steering shaft.

rebuilt the oem clutch master because it had a cool look, but need the install the reservor still.

A better shot of the cut firewall and moded firewall/trans tunnel/floor. Undercoated for sound and heat.

 

Needed a bit clearanced to fit the pan and sway bar. Oops! Was going to cut and weld but this was quicker. A little getto but you'll never see it.




Added a petc*ck to the lower return hose (radiator petc*ck is blocked by the frame/Lower control strut). Reuseing a pair of LC motor mounts from my 4 Runner that were just sitting around sence the 3.4 went in.

 

damn that looks awsome

 

with the top 75% installed

rerouting the line to the pass side for the stout.



Just need one more turn down then pressure test em.Then drop the motor in.

 

Awsome project! I like the rat style!

 

Are rag tops hard to install? You made it seem really easy lol

 

this may sound stupid but what exactly does the pipe you rerouted do? i capped all of mine and/or took them completely off because i have no heat or AC.

 

Thanks

Thanks,I'm digging it too.

Not too bad,just take your time.It was built to order and altogether when shipped. Talk to Rick at Sliding Ragtop Kits Homepage

Ya its for the heat and defrost.Want to use the old box.


Dropped the motor in and installed the lc lightened flywheel, bent and installed the brake and clutch lines in the bay and fit up the header. When the rain stops in the next couple days the bed is headed over to a buddy's blasting shop (blasting the inside and underneath).
Cleaning and hoping to install the transmission today.
