This 1976 Toyota Fj40 Land Cruiser Resto-Mod took 2 years of restoration. This is one of those cars you dream about owning, the memories you can make in this are endless. Whether on the back roads, fire roads, or go big at the Moab and manage to make some memories with the family or friends that will last a lifetime. Owner poured their blood, sweat and tears into this car and made it was it is today and has owned and restored several classic cars in the past. He knows what he is doing and enjoys it. This is what you would call a resto-mod. Owner was inspired by what he saw the company Fj company & Icon 4x4 doing with these vintage 4x4s. Bigger engines, more capable on the highway: adventure ready, while maintaining a stock look. This 1976 FJ40 Land Cruiser has been restored down to each nut and bolt. It was taken apart panel by panel. Stripped to bare metal. Rust was completely dealt with. New panels welded into place. Prepped and epoxy primed. Only the finest materials available were used. Southern Polyurethane's painting procedure (many pebble beach cars follow this process) was followed. It was a lengthy process, now the next owner can enjoy it for years to come. Following the epoxy primer, each part was blocked by hand, guide coat was used to find low spots. The metal was worked until body panels were close to straight, much better than factory. Gaps, details, and alignment was important and constantly guiding this project. Skim coats of evercoat rage body filler (Highly reviewed, very expensive compared to other brands) were put across each body panel, one piece at a time, block sanded to perfection, then the use of high build primer came into play to hopefully perfect each panel. Again each panel, one by one, was block sanded to prep for epoxy sealer. After sealing the body work, 3 coats of heath grey base coat were used, and 6 coats of universal clear. Color matched raptor liner was sprayed inside the cab to allow easy washing out.Trim: FJ40Doors: 2
