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?
Detailed pics....yes not a lot but I have 10-15 and I can explain as well...gonna get to a desktop soon and load all my build pics from my phone to the desktop, then into the thread...so hang in there...they're comin lol
