    and makes me think if I see one locally I'd buy it......

    Thanx fellas!! It's not the most fun to finish the inside structure, especially with all the bracing in the way:mad:, but it does make a huge difference. It looks cleaner, won't rattle and strength! I must have crawl through those braces 100 times yesterday.....Im sore!!:(

    Gotta do it again today!!

    Nice chop chop! Way to go! What will you do at the end of the rear side window, will you round it or just finish it off like it is now (I hadn't time to read through all of the posts so sorry if I'm asking about something you have already told :)

    Hey man, thanx!! Round it!! I'm moving my way back, and that includes the inside work too. Its actually gonna be a tight round corner, i dont wanna lose an 1" on the rear window, i think the size is perfect so a bigger corner would mean lose a bit of size.
     
  19. Wow, that is some really nice work.

    Now

    KNOCK IT OFF

    your making me look bad
    :D
