Ridged as a catholic school teacher.

I am gonna tie them in though so I can bash 'em against trees and use them as a knee rest when I have to dive in to the engine well without crumpling the tin fenders.

Really like the boxy style. Rear doors line up real nice.

I had a few people ask me about dimensions for the rear bumper.
I'll post more, but here's the top view and miter cut lines.
More to come.

Cool.

The only disadvantage I see with your rear flares design is that now when you remove the rear doors you're going to be missing half of your flare. :/

Other than that, good work!

Pretty cool. I like the design, think it would better with wider wheels and tires though.

You really like PBR.

You can't go wrong with PBR. The best tasting light beer on the market.

Doubt anyone would have the nerve to call this guy a hipster.
