Have you noticed much flexing in the chassis since you cut half the roof off? I cut the roof off of a Volvo wagon once and you could feel it flex just by getting into it.

I was worried about that, but with the reinforcements i made its fairly stiff. Ive been driving it around because i was worried about cracking, but ive put almost 500 miles on it in the past 2 weeks (very bumpy miles) and it hasnt weakened a bit

Cool pics! I had a great time on the meet. Hope to see a white pickup truck next spring!

Me too haha

It will be out locally quite a bit, theres not too many meets that go on now that its getting colder so i'm not sure if ill be making it too much more towards your end

That thing is fucking killer.
Do you have any more pics?
How are you going to split the taillights for the tailgate? (if that's your plan)

how did i just see this thread for the first time rite now?? e30 trucks are sooo cool. you should build them and sell them. my guess is they would sell pretty quick at the $5K price range.

So are you keeping the M20?
