Well, I chopped the Top on my truck a few weeks back. Now it's time to make it look like a vehicle again. I'm not done with the Tube, but here's progress pics.


Now that is intimidting! I had Sawzallers-Remorse after I chopped it!-

Feel free to critisize my work, but keep in mind that it's not done yet. I still have gussets to add, as well as finish welding everything. As of now, it's all tacked together.

Yeah, I was kinda of itchin' to get it done, when I cut the top off. I didn't have time to pull the stupid little things like the wipers!!

Anyone want a pair of wipers, in good shape? :D

The longer a project sits, the easier it is to start the really big mods.

Mine originally went down for a 22RE EFI Swap... now with a 4 Link about to be started, hacking off the top and adding the tube work, a 7MGE swap and a fuel cell later, it's about ready for some real fun!
