Oops the top fell off.

Worked on the tailgate today what a pain in the butt. In the end I won.

Had a few extra minutes, threw on the doors to take a look and map out some half-doors

Dang, I can't say I'm happy to see this, but now I don't feel as horrible, because it really looks sweet, and will be safer when your done...
Thanks
