I have to admit the gutterless looks great but will you not ever drive in the rain? First time you open a door in a down poor to will have a 1/2 gallon of water in your floor board running right off the roof.

Just bent up the down bars in the front of the cage.I'm installing a front suspension off of a 2002 Camaro,so I had to swing them real high to mount the struts on.Really looks kind of funny,reminds me of an off road trophy truck

Your work is looking great! Yes it is alot of work but that is what sets your apart from the guy down the street. On your glass did you have new glass cut or just shrink down the opening size to fit the stock glass? Your handles flow very nice with the over look you are going for.

I had to close the opening about .375 and build the depth up .250,to use factory glass.The hard part is that the rear glass does not have the same curvature as the roof line,{I tried 3 different factory glasses no two were the same}.So I had to buy the glass I was going to use,and shape the roof to the new glass.It was a good time.

Yeah, just dont ever break the window or else it sounds like you will have to get a new window AND a new paint job. :wow:

I justed started building the lower control arms,the rest of the stuff will be OEM.As soon as I'm finished welding them together I'll post some pics.The uprights and struts are ok looking,but the upper control arms I might replace with aftermarket ones.Ron

Finally finished the lower control arms,they're pretty beefy,but the straightness and geometry worked out perfect.They use the big mopar screw in ball joint,so I had to ream the 2002 Camaro spindle.Kind of have that nascar look.Using Afco uppers,they are pretty cheap and look cool too.Hoping to have it back on its feet by next weekend
