What are you doing to your buggy this time? More cutting than that picture?

How did I miss these replys?
I'm not turning this into a buggy.
The roof and A pillars have taken a beating in the last few months and I'm just cutting out the old stuff and replacing it.
It should look just the same as it did when I finished it the first time.
Buggy project might need to wait until after we get this Country out of the financial mess we are in...
Next month maybe.

Since this idea was a year and a half ago, I guess you decided not to pursue it?

Once I got a little further into the project there just wasn't any need for netted tube doors...

Right, I saw that you managed to get the full doors back on.
Just didn't know if that was a permanent solution, or a stopgap til you got your fancy ones done...

This is what I am working on today.
Sorry for the crappy pictures.
I cut off the dented and battered pillars and found a donor.
The only issue I am having is with the A-pillars. I am trying to graft it on without removing the window that came with the donor.
It may not be as easy as I had hoped...

You're going to lift the roof? Trying to piss off the rockabilly guys with their love of chopped cars?
Also, you need a personalized plate.

Grafting completed, without the window.
I won't try that again. It was that close to being in without any damage, then craaaaaaccccckkkkk.
Crap, oh well a small crack is no biggie, but, it went downhill from there.
All of you who have had to remove the windshield know how much of a bitch it is, as well as how messy it is.
I won't be doing that again...

Nice, turned out pretty.
The whole left side of my windshield is all smashed up (see avatar for details), that happened in May 2007. It's still like that because windshields are a pain in the ass.
When I did the exo (of course, I waited until the rig looked like a raisin before doing it) I made sure to leave enough room to change out the windshield if I ever get around to it. I like having it. The next one may be polycarbonate though.

The thing about windshields is that they are cheap.
Installed for about two hundred.
But, mine is now a trailer queen so there realy isn't any need for a window anyway...
(but I could have snuck around town and had a chance with it...)

Mine is a trailer queen 95% of the time...but I keep it tagged & insured for a small sum every year, because it's nice to be able to drive down the road for food or gas every now and then, or pull people out when we get a lot of snow.
As gnarly and beat as my rig looks, it can still go into 'winter mode':
There's something to be said for wheelin' in 15 degree weather all day long with the heat going, nice and comfy.
Last october I was on a trip where we spent all day in a 30-degree mix of rain and snow, and the access roads to get there were 40-50 MPH jaunts. Having windshield wipers is cool sometimes.

Body work looks good from a distance.
