Sunset Joe's 85 Toyota

love it very clean

yeah nice work man.

Doing the frame Z now. First two shots show cutting out, and smoothing the VIN stamp that protrudes from the frame. It gets in the way of plating the frame. Third shot shows the frame cut and moved up.




First shot here shows the Z fully boxed. Second is the VIN welded back onto the frame, and last is an overall shot.

Looks great so far Seth! !

I keep forgetting my camera, but the front is bagged, painted and assembled.



Built a new transmission cross member, cut out the old one, and installed the new one.

Looks good Seth. Is that a modified version of the X-member you sell, or is that the one?

That is the new version of the crossmember I sell. I decided to change a few things and make it easier to install. And I used Oilite bushings on the outside so that the ends are rebuildable.



Got the power wire measured out, and wrapped it in TechFlex. I found some red shrink wrap with glue inside, and I really like it. I ran it, and finally set the truck on the ground. Final pictures of that will wait until tomorrow when I get the bed on. I basically had to rebuild the entire exhaust system. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but nothing was working. So I cut it behind the transmission crossmember and started over, moving the cat back about a foot, and it went smoother from there. It's basically a recycle exhaust system with the stock tubing, with the only new parts being the muffler I made, and a turn down out the back. I forgot to take pictures, but I will try to snap one tomorrow.
