Default Off road race truck

Not too much metal shaping but i thought you would like to see it . The body is .060 3003 mostly 2d but it is a Toyota FJ45 . the cab corners top and bottoms where shrunk but it st mostly flat. It does not take a lot of shape to build a simple car but the looks can be deceiving. The FJ's where not complicated designed it all from drawings off the internet . The hood and top of cowl where the only stock pieces . The passenger area was extended about 6" This truck took 8 months to build from nothing . designed the frame and suspension , 2007 GM Yukon LS3 drive train .
