Awesome! I was going to ask about the hardtop and if you'd leave it as-is and then saw one of the last pics answering the question in my head can't wait to see it in person at Moab EJS and always LOVE customization!

i'm guessing you'll have to bed-line it after smoothing, right?
The hard top is actually a fiberglass composite combined with some kind of plastic. If you're into working with fiberglass, it can be done... Here is a few pictures of the hard top work:

We're hoping to have it done in primer in time for EJS. We are on track to have it ready... time will tell.

Just a plug for the guys doing these body and glass mods ....... Xtreme Customs in Burlington Ontario Canada...... the owner is a little weird but the staff is cool

Just playing (Rene) ..... really is anyone is looking for killer body fab, paint or airbrush work in Southern Ontario Xtreme is the way to go. I have been using them on all our projects ..... Great guys.

I finally rolled thru it all and I want to see more!
I wish I was reading a completed thread. O well, I guess I have to wait...

I think this is a cool concept and I wish I could get my hands on one.

Glad to hear you're buddies approve of your new MBRP Hemi JK dooboy! Hopefully we'll be able to run some trails together at EJS this year. I'd like to be able to meet you in person.

Yesterday was a busy day, and we got the new sheet metal taped off for primer. Time to get the bare metal sealed up before contamination... This is just a quick update...more to come this afternoon!
