I had a similar idea but wanted to stick with the 4 door with a small bed.

You need a classy decal for the rear window. Something like "Yeeeeee-HA!" or "Git'r Done." Or just Jeff Foxworthy giving the thumbs up in assless chaps.

Looking great Don. Very nice indeed. Can't wait to see the finished product. How are you going to combat the torsional flex and rigidity issues?

as for the rigidity the a and b piller were untouched the b to c piller are now braced together the back where the glass opens and closes is now braced to the c piller and to both sides. there is going tobe a wall like whats in a pick up under the rear glass that will further brace both side together at the c piller that is already tied to the b piller......sweet ill take the extra decal!!

So you're creating a non-movable bulkhead under the rear tailgate (upper)? That will work well. Nice build, and quick also. Shows how talented you are. And it looks like you found a good boss to work for this time, too! Can't wait to see your rig in person.
