Nice! What did you do for a lower panel?

 

[1979fj40]

16g. steel and my plasma cutter.....or do you mean the rear of the cab, its the full amby doors welded and filled.(bought the top off the internet for $350.)this is what I started with.

Looks good! You gonna make a custom cage? It would be cool to have head protection when the tops off.Maybe removable centers for the top?

 

[1979fj40]

probably just keep the stock bar, gotta remove the padding and paint it black.

[ducktapeguy]

I'd also like to see the back of the seat area and the divider. Where did you relocate the seat belts, and how did you shorten the fiberglass?

Havent gotten much done to it lately , did a little to the inside and had to go ahead and paint the aprons so I could put the emblems on because if one more person called it a "JEEP" I was gonna scream ! Also Ordered a wireless kit from a harbor freight winch and rigged it to my warn so now its also wireless.
