not with gas at $2.75 a gallon. we just got a humongous credit-card bill and the wife has me on a strict economic diet right now. maybe next time.

Hey that thing is killer, nice job! Is there any chance to see some more pics, like some more detail ones of the back?

| first step was to cut out the upper panel on the back, leaving the fenders intact. then slice off about 3/4 of the tailgate and notch the corners of the rollbar and where the fenders meet the tailgate. join the two halves of the tailgate, drill 2 holes and screw the halves together using some shoe-goo to bond the pieces. then shoe-goo the joints at the corners of the rollbar, then cut the upper panel to fit the new opening, then glue that in position. same idea up front, only the hood was left attached at the back. i added some headlights from the Big Deuce model kit. all the joints up front are reinforced with drywall mesh in the shoe-goo. |
