"The Steelhead" FJ40

Thanx.

I wouldn't mind seeing the "Official Icon Project" body on it. :)

Outstanding work! Great detail and you've obviously got a lot of patience. Keep it up!

Got some Junfac lights, and mounted them up:





Now I just have to figure out how to wire them.

Thanx for the kind words. The metal work looks nice in picture; in reality, it's more an acceptible level of crookedness. I find it hard to keep it aligned and semitrical, while building. Been my biggest RC build challenge, and is really teaching me a lot.
Lots of burned flesh...

Top notch bud lovin this build

[Headquake]

Keep it up man, its gonna be awesome in the end. Try to burn less flesh though, thats not good.

[nigelpheron]

Thanx fellas.

On the light bar, I burt myself twice in a row, with end of the just-used silver wire. I reach across it to grab something, and it burns my forearm. My immediate action was to grab it, and move it out the way. That's when I burt my finger.

You need to change your sig to "Still Burny"... Certainly a super-cool build. Can't wait to see more!

[nigelpheron]

"Still Burny"...rofl

I still got a few "Itchy" projects to do still. For one; a road bike, so I can start un-clogging my body. A few more client jobbies (not the Scottish kind), then the body-work on this rig.

But yes, the transition from composites, to burning hot metal steel-fab'n...It has it's adventures.
