Sorry, last night when I opened this thread and reloaded it multiple times non of the images would load. my bad.
BUT... Now that I can see the images, I like it a lot man! I reaaallly want a 2 door just so I can do this exact idea. Make a 2door thats a chop top/open air rear cabin. Kinda like a bronco set up.
Keep it up.
& you wouldnt happen to have better/more detailed angles of the rear? Like how you cleaned up the rear end and sealed the cabin?
