Hows it done the easiest ...........wil i need to replace the structual rigidness across the roof section if so how have yas done this .........


I realise prob the main few people im aimin this at run there own business and prob arent happy to share there secrets or mod ideas ..................unfortunatley :roll:


but also if any1 has pics of there chops or anyones of that matter would be greatly appreciated if ya could post em up ........

Heres a oldish pic of my pos for anyone wantin a shorty pic to explain the best spot to cut n shite like that or if people wanna chop it for me to give me an idea of wat it will look like .............cheeers

I had a look at Trent Leens the other week. It looks like he has cut the roof of just after the B pillar. Then cut the C pillar off and re welded it on up against the B (ie B and C pilars now welded together). This has allowed abit of room behind the seats but not much by the time the roll cage was put in.
This conversion has turned it into a ute with a tub. But you might be able to after welding the Cpillar on, continue the cut right though.

Pics below are of one of the local Kiwi trucks. This is the second attempt at the space framed rear, as the first has way too heavy.

dan, next time you come down (if you ever get that fawking thing wheeling) i'll show you brett scriv's truck. they cut the back of the body up, then bend up a tube to the shape of the skin that is left, this is welded in, then a plate is stamped up for the rear wall, with window reveal and corrugations and all the shit. this is welded to the tube and it is all prettied up. real strong and gives you a nice radius corner all round the back of the cab.
