I can't wait to see what you do to it! Are you gonna Raptor the inside of the tub and the bottom? An idea on the rust in the fender tubs, you might max a phosphoric acid solution to spray on them to neutralize and kill the rust, then maybe sand or wire wheel a little, then put what ever coating or paint onto that surface.

[@paulcoon5399]

Sick tower covers, I like em. My only advise would be to make sure you pressure wash up in there really well. That just looks like a mud trap

[@Han_GRIHAN]

Жду продолжения с нетерпением. Очень круто. Респект мастеру.

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

'It's going to cost $400-500 to sand blast the tub.' Cut scene to advertisement for compressor thing. 😆 I dig it. Your ads aren't overbearing and I get this is your livelihood. The FJ40 is looking great. I really like the rear shock covers.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

[@prawnstar502]

6:54 if it was also a jump pack that would be legit!

[@ytterdahlensswix7849]

Hoping you'll paint in one the cool solid toyota colors "cement" or the "quicksand" that you see on the newer tacoma for example.

[@KH102695]

Nice covers for the rear shocks. Getting the body and all the other parts ready for paint is a huge amount of work, but well worth it on a project like this.

[@jprock73]

Ohh man! Don’t ever get anxiety over the work you have to do! That just means more content that we get to watch and that’s awesome!! ✌🏻

[@mattanderson6781]

Thanks for the awesome content Austin. Can't wait to see some shiny paint on that FJ.

[@dboverland8457]

So glad you’re doing paint. A white top is a must.

[@rtpickett]

love the shock enclosure and those door checks are awesome!

[@brentmchenry9273]

Never cease to impress with the one-off ideas to replace expensive parts

[@brianbouma7578]

Quick note. Love your build and content its my fav channel for sure. . During beginning monologue maybe a selfie stick to have the lens further away and a more relaxed angle.

[@abpsd73]

Glad you're painting it instead of raptor liner.

[@joeyjaurique2796]

Your fab work is insane

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@scottibass]

Shock tower fabrication pretty bad ass, man!

[@JeffreyDavis-jg5xb]

I was thinking the plasma table had too much water in the beginning. Now it appears to be working much better.

[@Jackt-3]

Love every build but this one is amazing.

[@kayejaye261]

Bronze. Gray. Whatever u decide this is a epic build. Amazing job.

[@POV-photography]

I think if you used a belt in the door hinges it would be more practical than the iron I used, but overall you did a great job.

[@dezfan]

Super bumped to be at this point! My favorite build yet!

[@isairomero89]

Austin im glad you decided to go with paint, trust me you wont regret it!

[@otrookie]

That compressor is pretty sweet and nice with powerbank but I love my Milwaukee it airs up my semi tires to 110 no problem. You’re very minimal with adds and constantly throwing stuff for people to buy like most other folks especially on TikTok lol, love the channel. The fab skills are next level

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!!

[@MrDan1509]

She's coming rt along... You should build yourself a Vapor Hone for the fender size and down parts. Get for prepping before powder coating!

[@bake162]

Looks great Austin!

[@douggrunberg]

Always great videos!! Thanks!

[@countryenduro4504]

I love your style and the FJ is going to be sick For people that don’t do a lot of sheet bending and are just learning. You can cut a relief in the middle of the bend the along the same axis and it will make it easier to bend if your using a hammer or an adjustable wrench to bend it to shape You would have to weld it shut though

[@mannyg2062]

i really enjoy watching your smart creations, rock on!!

[@Z-Bart]

Candy Apple Red.

[@pitt42075]

I would do the battle ship grey. Think toyota and audi are using it on some of their newer cars. Steel-it looks good too. not sure about topcoating it with clear if you wanted it glossy.

[@richiebrownlee9001]

It would look awesome with the Tacoma Desert Sand colour.

[@kerrywaldrop4546]

Looks badass

[@elizabethpedro3103]

Great job😁

[@mrm4155]

It’s gonna be sick!

[@smartmonkey8187]

Ура! Наконец новый выпуск. Машина будет конфеткой. Главное герметиком обработать все швы и днище, ну и антикором то же.

[@JuanMartin-dj4tb]

Almost time to start talking about the next project

[@hannibal2866]

👍 отлично!

[@myurcek05]

I am guessing Toyota's Dessert Sand (Camo Tan)

[@lanemichaelmcconnell-hand1472]

I'M SO EXCITED.

[@lucsurmon2623]

Great video 👍

[@PNW_Phillip]

Desert tan paint is my guess

[@FlawedOffroad]

Dang nice progress since the last time I caught a video

[@norcoredneck]

What is that small grinding/sanding setup you use?

[@1993Revhead]

You seem like a sandy tourpe kind of guy. Thats the Australian land cruiser paint name.

[@scottadvevture2022]

Looking good brother

[@ronleeks3668]

I’m guessing a blue or grey for colour

[@whoopty6045]

Satin black ⚫️

[@jahanzaibaries-4731]

Dragon fj 40 ❤

[@asifiqbal4548]

I like yours videos form Pakistan Asif

[@roderickseed9427]

I agree...very talented guy.....where are you in Pakistan?..........hello from Scotland

[@gwc4020]

What's the reason for not going with raptor liner? I was thinking about going that way with my build. Less body work.

[@BigBrownie96]

Great job, keep the vids coming fast!!! love it.

[@marinmarinov1020]

👌🏻

[@JuanMartin-dj4tb]

Battle ship, gray, that’s the color I like

[@crazgreek]

Hey stupid question. Is there any chance that the hoses for the reservoirs could burst and cover the rear passengers with oil? Any danger with that?

[@ronthompson2366]

😎👍

[@lknakoa]

blue paint

[@joesobaski1966]

Can’t wait to see what comes next!,

[@dannywright3128]

Do u still have a discount code for prismatic powders?

[@major-Kurt]

😊👍💯❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@davefury66]

😎👍🏻🔥💯🤘🏼🍻

[@davefury66]

Nice! changing the color huh... I see that spark in ur eyes like you saw a color that made you go 😮 that's the one 😅 I'm thinking 🤔 knowing u ... It's probably going to be a color outside the color palette 🎨 🤔🤔🧏🏻 blue ish gray!!

[@user-hs7hf4el8f]

....👏....

[@frozenmongolian3334]

Do u have finnish ancestors?
