graphicjunkie Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Looks great so far. Do you have any shots of the fab of the rear hatch conversion? I originally was going to do this as well, then chickened out since I had such a crap welder. But I just scored a really nice Lincoln welder so now that's back on the table!! Did you reinforce the undercarriage since you took away the cabin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you reinforce the undercarriage since you took away the cabin? Sorry no pix of the early part but I can show you in detail where to cut yours and if you are feeling rather lucky some where I saw one with a working trunk , I have some ideas of how to do this . And yes I will be doing something about the frame but at a cost of interior look . My solution is to build a roll cage tha basically connects the 4 strut towers together as one big box (a removable strut bar connects the front) with an x brace running thru the doors from front to back. In my new pix you can see how the wind sheild was cut .The new one is chopped down a further 4 " Learned how to do that after the glass guy succeeded at cutting the glass. had to section the wind sheild frame by cutting the frame in 3 places and welding in a piece from a donor car which I might add got some good looks as two white guys cut a 6" x 20 " strip out of the wind shield frame of the donor car at the junk yard again with the now infamous sawz em all. I figure any way why not it has z right in the name...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
