I thought about how a half cab with a hard trunk cover would look on the JK.
The most important thing about working with fiberglass is that when you are all done grinding you go take the hottest shower you can stand.

I won't be picking it up for a few weeks, but when I get read to start the project I'll give you a ring.

This is exciting! Lets see how yours comes out, then we can start chopping my cherokee and make a hard top for the back end! Really though, can't wait to see some pics of the whole process. As you know I have a thing for building my own stuff. Need to get busy on my half doors again.

Ive read that whole write up before, absolutely sick sh*t. A lot more work than I am capable of, even if I had the tools though. I was just joking around about chopping the rear window area out. If I wanted a convertible, I would just get a YJ or TJ. But I won't rule anything out for down the road. ;)

The skills come with time. If you keep your Jeep long enough it becomes more and more of a toy and cutting the top off might be possible. Plus it is always cool to see some really trick fab work.
