Body Modifications on a 1972 Toyota Hilux - Project Low Lux

19. Next to go; the gas door.

20. With the bed super modded, it was time for Jamey to do work son! He went to town with the grinder for days on end to smooth everything out.

21. When it came time to body-drop the bed, Jamey took it back to the old-school and busted out the torch.

22. The rest of the truck was blocked out before we could finish the final bodywork and prep Low Lux for some primer.

23. AutoBody Color & Supply custom-mixes paint and had everything we needed for the perfect paintjob in stock.

24. After many nights of intense labor, it was finally time for Brian to spray some primer.

25. Another custom touch was to ditch the factory wing windows and build small side-view mirror panels.

26-27. After Brian gave two good coats of primer and all the parts were dry, we were more than anxious to see what she would look like almost together and on the ground. Not bad at all!

28-29. Next, it was time for some black. Due to our time constraints we will have to go back in and finalize the paint and clear later on, but not bad for two and a half weeks!

30. With the cab and front end black, and the clock counting down faster and faster, we came to another crossroads and realized we would have to leave the bed as-is. There wasn't any time left for bodywork or to finish the final bed mods like extending the lower portion to match the cab and rockers. But we all did a damn good job in the time that we had to work with.

31. The last day gave us some time for little touches, so Brian did spray the bed black, and got down on a little airbrushing for a cool pin-up piece on the hood.

32. Jamey "HandMade" Jordan started HandMade Seat Co. with these prototype bomber seats. These spawned the old-school style and theme of this truck. With these seats sitting in the cab, Project Low Lux was sure to turn heads at the show.

33. All back together, just had to finish up the hood and bolt up the front end.

34. Project Low Lux made it to the show in one piece, and we didn't kill eachother. Couldn't ask for a better group of buds to help out on such short notice. Stay tuned for the rest of the buildup.
