Will the rear door have rounded window corners?
I think its looks very
and 10 points for originality.

i think the back doors need to be a bit bigger and it would look better .

Yes the rear door will have factory radius's on all windows.

No point being any bigger as there is no where to go after that as the rear shock hoopes sit behind the rear seat and the rear seat bacj is in line with the profile.
Wheel base is out at 104" and won't be going any further.

Do it, just don't weld to the chassis.

I think it'd look better with a longer rear door, wether pointless or not

sorry mate , still believe the rear door should be longer by at least 2 , 3 - 4 inches .. and also think it should have a solid rear side window .
apart from that it looks good . and also what sort of drive train are you running and intended use were you after ?

i love the look of this and can't wait to see it completed. I've seen the odd one or two dual cab utes done from cut down troopy's and extended 40's but can't wait to see this done

Great concept, but as others say, I think it will look better if you can make the door longer, even it means shortening the rear window.
Cheers

That rocks. But the back doors should open backwards... and no pillars in between

i know it sounds crazy and NFI if theres room with a 3b i know there isnt with a 2f but if you moved the front 1/2 of the body forward by 100mm it would make the front wheels sit more centered in the guard and give the door a extra 100mm making it look better proportioned
tho either way will look sweet

Not really the room for it.

Visually it looks more like the rear axle wants to go back a touch. But I am not saying it would be worth the effort, what you're doing lookes fricking cool anyway.
Don't get me wrong I am just responding to the comment above, not being picky and nosey!

I would not have posted it if I didn't want feedback. Good / Bad or stupid it all helps in getting where I want it to be, so thanks for your comments.
I agree in the pictures that the rear needs to go back further, in reality the flare sits a little further forward but it is still touch and go.
Once I have finished the inner pillars and foot well I will look at it and see if it needs to go back some more.
For now it will stay as the links are made and I said I wanted 104" wheel base and that is what I have.

ON the first pics I thought the door/ply looked far too short, but i think in this photo it is further back - may have been how you always planned but it didnt appear the same with the ply.
I think it looks
as you have it in this pic, cant wait to see it finished.
