You created one big *** blind spot good job. Not only do the welds look horrid, but you also didn't add any structural support. B for concept, F for effort.

So you can't get into the back at all? The idea was there. But you essentially just replaced the original hatch with a completely closed in slanted one. It's not really a hard top either if it doesn't come off haha. The original hatch was basically the same, just with windows. Another idea could have been to close off the back and make the bed one of those tonneau covers. Did you have a build thread? I think I remember following along when you cut the hatch. Link?

The idea was good. But it just doesn't look finished. Looks rushed. I just don't understand completely closing off the rear after cutting it. His profile picture shows the jeep looking real good, but now the look isn't right.
