If you go to classic cruisers, they have a fiberglass top for about $1500. All you have to do is look it up it’ll fit yours. Just wanna let you know I think with the time you trying to repair it it be better just to buy one or canvas top, good video. Keep up the good work I can’t wait to see the next one on that FJ cruiser. Thank you God bless.

Blood sweat and hard work no short cuts

@clayfist4033 7 месяцев назад

@@aaronfoote7679 I see you left the comment no shortcuts I totally agree would not ordering a top and for that no shortcuts, so why did somebody go out and buy a front differential a rear differential a transfer case transmission and motor if no Shortcuts hard work you should have the original motor transmission transfer case, front and rear differentiallike you said no shortcuts you could’ve had them rebuilt just saying so when somebody says no shortcuts hard work only that’s what it means. God bless be safe thank you.

Dude your work is so clean! You just get the bends and twists and curves and all so smooth! It’s just done right the first time and I commend you for your patience, your attention to detail, and how meticulous you are with literally everything.

@austinniemela 8 месяцев назад

Thanks a ton!

@jaykrahn6087 6 месяцев назад

Amazing fabrication work, love seeing the progression. However, having owned a 1980 BJ40 way back when...the signal lights on the fenders are the iconic Cruiser look. Love to see you incorporate them back in. Everything else is spot on.

@riverrockfab 8 месяцев назад

You did great work on the fenders, it looks really clean. I think that was a smart move cutting the front fenders back so they don’t stick out front as far. Nice job, a labor of love for sure

@elijahsparrow966 8 месяцев назад

Looks sweet Austin, love that you don’t edit out your ‘mistakes’ and that your always admitting when your wrong or when you change your mind. Great content!

@Evo_JL 8 месяцев назад

so sick in my opinion you should leave the original lights on the fenders just drill new holes to the outer side to clear and maybe try to retrofit them with an led inside maybe use the housing of it and build a plate to retrofit some baja designs S2 or S1s idk that would look unique keeping the original style yet improved anyway loving the build its still in my list to also build one

@fenton9620 8 месяцев назад

yes, this would look so good. I hope he sees this

@larrybrewster9221 8 месяцев назад

Put the blinker in the headlight, lots of bulbs have the signal there

@marks7120 8 месяцев назад

Well done with the front fenders. I was worried for a minute you would leave them poking out 😂. Love this build.

@mike158193 8 месяцев назад

Honestly you did well with the carbon fiber in the dash on the mini truck build. You have a roof mold, make one out of carbon fiber, I know it’s easier said than done but you’re gonna have to do a crapload of repairs on the fiberglass already and I don’t know that it would be less work, would be stronger, look better and be a 1 off for sure. Love the work so far, you’re an amazing fabricator and i enjoy every video!!

@matthewwisdom6691 8 месяцев назад

@rhyswilliams695 8 месяцев назад

Nice work Austin. Looks sweet. If you need more clearance, you could cut about an inch off from the edge, along that pin stripe. Keep the hard top, just repair it or swap it for an aftermarket version.

@dezfan 8 месяцев назад

Fenders look rad! 😎 if it where mine, I’d try to keep it slick. Flush mounted blinkers, remove the stuff off the hood, etc… 👍🏼

Digging this build.

@roberthowell8303 8 месяцев назад

Maybe it would look a little dorky, but I think you could have extended the fenders to cover the tires. That would have given you lots of clearance. Just a thought. Great job and great series.

@norcalfocus 8 месяцев назад

I think adding a small lip to the rear fenders would be cool. One to match the match the lip on the front, two to give some ridgedity. Either way, your sheet metal skills have gotten really good.

@mikemater 8 месяцев назад

Shes a beaut, but keep those blinkers! Either way thats thing looks sick.

@jasonlaurence9518 8 месяцев назад

The earlier style blinker (I've got a '68 with one) was smaller and round - might still fit. Lookin' good!

Maybe move the turn signals outboard? For the roof cap, make a new steel one. Time to invest in an English wheel, shrinker/stretcher, and planishing hammer.

@allenwilson9656 8 месяцев назад

Austin on the fender lights ( blinker) move your hole out from the hood some and reattach them it really needs the blinker since you removed the marker lights. JMO The fenders turned out schaweet

@austin7smith3 8 месяцев назад

I don’t know much about fiberglass but I did work with a guy that did full body cars out of it and he would sand it down good and do what you said! Put more on it! You are killing it brother keep it up! 👌🏻🤘🏻

@Dj-Worx 8 месяцев назад

hey, about the fibreglass, i have worked with a lot of fibreglass at work on busses and trailers you need to sand all the cracks down to the fibreglass, they are probably only in the gellcoat, and they will come right back if you dont sand them all the way to the gell-coat then reaply gelcoat or just use bodyfiller and if you want reinforce, do it on the innside with fibreglass

@jamesarnold6059 8 месяцев назад

Get marine grade fiberglass roving cloth for the cap. Roving cloth is flexible & super strong.

@charlesadams9117 8 месяцев назад

Those round jeep headlights with the integrated turn signals I believe those look sweet and pluse no other planing on were the turn signals Gona go bro 13:53

@shelbydog1100 8 месяцев назад

If you plan on repairing your fiberglass. If you want it to last you need to grind out the cracks and fill them in with fiberglass material. I repaired a ton of fiberglass semi truck hoods years ago. Mainly because fiberglass dust didn’t make me itch.

@dannystitt 8 месяцев назад

Please keep the roof white as you plan for the top restoration. Looking great!

@adamdiscovery8181 8 месяцев назад

Great job Austin mate 👍

@joshslackslack8115 8 месяцев назад

I would add tube to the fender and use the factory features as a skin and try to keep it looking as factory as possible the cap I would think would be like repairing a fiberglass boat or something like that

@kanecarolan9663 8 месяцев назад

Check behind the door and windshield hinges, on my truck there was no primer just bare metal and lots of surface rust. I guess they assembled the whole body and then spray it.

There’s a lot of times on your builds when you say you don’t like the way it looks and I’ll be all like “shoot ide leave just like that” then you fix it and I like it better…. I think that means I need to push myself more on the cosmetics of my projects 🤣

@bake162 8 месяцев назад

Nice work Austin, I’d consider a restraint cable to prevent the hood from hitting the cab again

@bradywilliams2666 8 месяцев назад

There is supposed to be a rod the hood sits on holding it up when open. Problem is just like an old Jeep. It's easier to open the hood all the way and rest it on the roof. Guys tend to drop it hard on the roof denting the hood. I'm guilty with my Jeeps.

@jamesenloe2791 8 месяцев назад

My top had a sunroof in it and I filled in the hole. It was pretty easy and not as expensive as buying a new top. I watch RU-vid videos from Boat Works Today. With that said, that looks like the gel coat. Sand it down and reapply the gelcoat by using Total Boat products. It a bit more expensive, but its eaier to work with and is a great product.

@austinniemela 8 месяцев назад

Sweet! I’m thinking about reinforcing with a layer or 2 of glass! Do you NEED gel coat after glass, or can you epoxy prime and paint?

@jamesenloe2791 8 месяцев назад

@@austinniemela I am by no means an authority, but I sanded the gel coat down, primer and painted over it. It’s been 3 years and no issues. However, my rig is a princess that has a permanent parking spot in the garage.

@mattw4662 8 месяцев назад

That fiberglass roof is going to need to be repaired top and bottom to assure that the cracks don’t reappear. The fiberglass will need to be cleaned down to bare fiberglass with at least 80 grit to ensure a good tooth for the new fiberglass mat and resin to adhere to

@austinniemela 8 месяцев назад

Yes that’s what I had planned, sand down to bare good clean fiberglass and a couple new layers on top of that!

@abpsd73 8 месяцев назад

On the top, it depends on how deep the cracks are, if it is into the fiberglass or just the gelcoat. The top gelcoat can crack and blister horribly with age. If it is just the gelcoat and the fiberglass is still structurally sound, sand it away with something like 50 or 80 grit discs. Mop on a couple coats of new gelcoat, with the last coat having air-dry additive. Once the gelcoat is cured, you should be able to sand it smooth much like you would with finishing glaze.
