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?
Oh yeah..its bc I'm using the app on my phone...

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
