Austin I have seriously stopped being amazed by your fab skills and work in general. Are you kidding lol... your doing an amazing job. It looks absolutely fantastic. This is the best stages of any build. It's the 'wow" stage. Because at the end of each step you stand back and wow.... and it getting closer to the finish. You're a master craftsman Austin. I appreciate your work ethic. Your attention to detail. You don't spend a lot of time talking and "teaching ".. quick explanation and get after it. Your editing skills are such one almost forgets that you are not doing all this in the time frame of this video... but over a couple of weeks. As always looking forward to seeing what's next. It looks great 👍
For someone who is doing this out of their garage/ shop it’s crazy impressive how much talent and skills you have! Gets ya motivated to try this out on some projects I have lying around. Great editing as well, keep up what you’re doing.
It's looking great Austin, I'm really enjoying this build. I enjoy everything you do, but this is putting you into a new level of a skilled fabricator! Look forward to the next video to see what you tackle.
Great work getting at those rusted out areas of the cab. Using heavy gauge steel on the lower exposed areas is probably what Toyota only wished they could do. Excellent video.
I've been looking for your channel since I forgot your channel's name. Im glad to be able to watch your amazing videos again. I've been following you with your builds. Awesome, really awesome!!
Great wwork Austin ! Cutting all of the rust out was amonumental job. The roller was a big help for the quarter panels and they look great. Looking forward to the next video.
I’ve watched the restoration of this Land Cruiser and it’s amazing! I don’t know what the final bill was but I know you couldn’t spend the same amount on a new vehicle and have as much performance value… And as far as the “panache” factor goes, please! Great video, thanks for posting!
compañero te sigo desde hace un tiempo, te digo que eres un hombre con grandes habilidades, estoy impresionado con tu trabajo y lo haces solo.... que buen trabajo....
First thing that came to mind was fiberglass tub. Then I thought no, cracks first good twist and sometimes those are crooked as a dogs hind leg. Then as I was watching I was like hell yeah cut something else off you kick ass forming metal! Now I cant decide whether I like the frame build or this body work! Either way, bad ass brother!!!
Bro looks sick! I’m not totally into the idea of 1 ton axles and all, really like how these look factory with just some 33s but you’re doing a great job bro keep it up!
Looking incredible. Wish I had the tools to make my own sheet metal patches. In the process of fixing quite a bit of rust damage on my 4runner and I’m just using bondo and bondo mesh to fill in the rust holes.
Now you got that shweeet roller it you can mold a piece of 3/8 round rod behind that fender edge. Just completes it, saves on cuts and strengthens it. . My 2 cents. Looks bangin tho bro, thats a big undertaking!!
Try a kneeling the steel before you try and bend it best way I've found to do it is to take oxyacetylene mix it rich words putting out black smoke run it over your steel until it's blackened and then heat it until the black burns off that's when it is annealed and it will be softer to bend doing a great job though awesome work!
Very cool job), I shake hands with respect. We also build cars for offroad, but it is much more difficult for us to do this. Let's continue to look and get ideas
I like that you are trying to preserve the old school look of the FJ fenders. I hope it works out!
Thanks! I think I can make it work!

Wow thank you so much! I appreciate that! I feel like I still have so much to learn!!
As a 30 year bodyman I am impressed with your work. Great job, this FJ is going to be great.
Hey thanks man! I appreciate that!
That was therapeutic to watch. Thank you for all the hard work you're putting into preserving and beefing up this classic

Thanks a bunch!!
Your attention to detail is amazing. You have lots of patience. The finished FJ should be amazing.
Please please please do a full body repair and paint. This car deserves it!
Toyota khaki and white roof will look amazing with black wheels! Incredible work as always!
I'm really glad you went to the effort to cut out all the spot welds. Raising the rockers is a good idea too. Awesome work.
Thanks man!
i found this channel because this is exactly what i want to do but with an FJ45. fantastic work and instantly one of my favorite projects
It's looking great Austin, I'm really enjoying this build. I enjoy everything you do, but this is putting you into a new level of a skilled fabricator! Look forward to the next video to see what you tackle.
Great work as always! I used 8" sewer pipe cut in half in the hydraulic press to make jeep corners.
Wow. this man is doing all this in his garage at home. Respect.
Got to admit your name was the reason i started watching.. Content kept me in.
"My expertise level."🙄 This guy is a genius. 👍
Plus, it always helps to have the space, tools and a passive income source from YT to fund everything. 😉
1st. Sit at table. 2nd remove stroopwafel off of coffee. 3rd enjoy morning watching Autin remove rust. Perfect Sunday morning!
First day back home post op, blessing to have an upload from Austin. Always killing it in the vids 💪. Thanks for making recovery enjoyable!
Hey thanks man! I wish you a speedy recovery!! 💪💪
Awesome work on the rust repair, those quarters look amazing!! That's the FJ Toyota should have built!!
Great work getting at those rusted out areas of the cab. Using heavy gauge steel on the lower exposed areas is probably what Toyota only wished they could do.
Excellent video.

I’ve watched the restoration of this Land Cruiser and it’s amazing! I don’t know what the final bill was but I know you couldn’t spend the same amount on a new vehicle and have as much performance value…

Great video, thanks for posting!

ERES EL MEJOR QUE YO HE VISTO TRABAJANDO DE ESA MANERA
Looks killer man! Keep up the good work
My welding bottle has served to be an awesome big radius bending thingamajig.
You can also make a cheap pipe anvil to tackle lots of those jobs.
Some front OeM style tube fenders would be sick. Loving the build so far!
أنت مبدع تحية لك من السعودية KSA 👍
Take this one wheeling bro!👍🏼
Man your skills are from another universe.. this will be Killer Cruiser
Austin soy nuevo en tu canal soy fanático de los autos y me gustan mucho lo que haces saludos desde Colombia
Crazy that i had a dream last night that you finished the build 😂
Attention to detail with the fab work 💯
2:02 Dinger 470 deadcenter
Wow this FJ will become a monter soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Make sure to get the dekota digital gauges!
I just had them installed on my 82 fj40 and they’re absolutely amazing.
Looking incredible. Wish I had the tools to make my own sheet metal patches. In the process of fixing quite a bit of rust damage on my 4runner and I’m just using bondo and bondo mesh to fill in the rust holes.
Hey man you can make most patches with a cutoff wheel and flap disc!! Thank you!!
Well done! Why didn't you heat up and bend the sheet arminute: 15:03 while it was already spot welded?
Those body welds are nice!
Looking great Austin!
Now you got that shweeet roller it you can mold a piece of 3/8 round rod behind that fender edge. Just completes it, saves on cuts and strengthens it. . My 2 cents. Looks bangin tho bro, thats a big undertaking!!
That might work, but the edge of the fender is pretty much flush with the edge of the inner fender so there really isn’t a sharp edge there!’
@@austinniemela ahhh, that'll do donkey
happy this channels finally getting the views it deserves!
Thanks! Yeah the last few videos are going great!! I’m stoked!!

Good job, Man! Everything you do is insane. Really Master👍🏻
Your metal work is really good
I liked the factory running boards, keeps the FJ look. Maybe make something nicer but still kind of looks the same.... safe travels
Fj looks awesome! Great work!
Man those old land cruisers can rust!😅
Had 83' bj42 as my first truck , lots of welding time spent on it to keep it road worthy!
Oh yeah!! This one isn’t bad compared to others I’ve seen!!
