Default Chopoing the top

Does anyone have a pic with it chopped and something fabbed up behind the rear seat to close it back up. I've been thinking a few different things for this one is possible using the back hatch

Thanks

Definately. a step by step of this would be an awesome thread. i'm not afraid to put the sawZall/welder to my rig, but i would atleast like a genearl idea of where and when to cut, to minimize un-repairable damage.
