@ "toycrawler" West coast fiero is on south street, behind "Dave's Auto". complete machine shop (mills, lathes, brakes, shears, punches,, all types of
welding & fabrication. my brother works there, and they let us use the shop on the weekends.. GREAT guys that own the, and there's nothing they can't do, but they're specialty is squeezing modern V-8's into pontiac fieros on a world wide basis. one owners car has an 800 hp aurora (northstar) in it,,, that's a bad ass lil scooter!!! you should come by some weekend. if we're not on a run, we're usually there

@ larry,,,,,, yea that was me,,,,,, i had just finished cutting off the back
then ran down to jim's supply for some steel for the bed rails,,, thought that was you

[Uncle Cracker]

@ toycrawler,,,,,,,, if you swing by the shop this weekend, we'll be working on
my 4runner,, tons &tons of work to do yet

[abendx]

Wow... Great lines.

[Uncle Cracker]

thanks,, i really like how its starting to shape up. when i first started,
i thought> oh shit,,,what have i done. now i think, hell, i might have increased the value. regardless,, i like it, and that's what counts
if i can make the meet and greet, i'll probably bring down

[Uncle Cracker]

from these pics, you can't see the bed rails, they help add shape to the rear
of the body lines

The M&G comming up is going to suck. Just come to the one in May.

[Zak.Taylor]

I was going to sell mine, now I want to chop it!!!

[REDxj5150]

That's some handy work! Will your window still roll down when all said and done?

[AJ99]

i like it! im going to be doing something like this to my xj this summer. just a bit different being i have a unibody. but looks awesome man.

[Uncle Cracker]

@ redxj,,,,,,, originally i wanted the window to be useable, but it's now
right over the wheel wells, and would only roll down about 6 inches.
that's a ton of work, for just 6 inches,,,, so no.
the window, however is removable

Well that works. Keep us updated on this. I like when things get chopped up. It really builds on my think tank of things that I might like to try eventually.

[jcook]

That's cool!

[Uncle Cracker]

hoping to make it down to bakes/ crazy sammies house tonight
to finish the sheet metal welding ( josh can weld paper together)
i tend to burn more holes, rather than fill them, when it comes to
the thin shtuff. then, grinding, body filler, sanding, primer & paint.
thursday i hope to pick up the aluminum diamond plate for the bed-
sides and back wall. someday i'll get around to the interior
