All of those 4 door chop job look really awsome! They all seem to have the same back window attached. Is that from a commanche? Did it line up perfectly?

X's 2! That's what I'll be doing to mine as soon as I get a bender - not going to chop without a cage.

Here's a good looking chopped 2dr...





And here's mine...

Right now the plan is a semi closed compartment. If you're familiar with what's under the back seat - there's a short "wall" (about 10" tall?) that sticks up from the floor; I'm going to extend that up to just below the rear rails (the roll bar will be inside the cab) and then use some kind of canvas on the roll bar (hopefully I can just make a windjammer fit) for the top part in the winter.

If I want to semi enclose the cab my real problem is actually the doors; you can't really tell in the pics but I've moved the bottom of the front fender in about 1.5" along with the panel between the back of the door and the rear tire. Because of this if I put a factory door on it will stick out at the bottom; the hinge already sticks out so I'm going to cut part of it off and figure out a way to put some new hinges on there and build some kind of door. I've got all summer to deal with it though because I probably won't even wheel it until spring time...

EDIT: I also have an MJ tail gate that I'm thinking about using in the back - not sure yet...
