Window looks sweet. I like the circular ends. Is that tempered glass? It gives a nice wide view.

Got it. You have sophisticated equipment available to have water. Do you have a laser?

My deuce project, making it a 4x4 and not cutting the frame, is going to get a top the style/shape of HEMTT, that combines with space behind the cab. I'm not sure of the exact distance but I'll have about 26-28" space to the M105 bed, so like an extended cab or sleeper.

I'll do a front overhang like yours, maybe a bit longer and the sides will get overhang too, but the shape will not be traditional like yours.

I'm collecting parts for a major rebuild on my A3. Tranny, PTO, air bag 4 link rear with heavy Watts's link, M105 bed, large tool box, hardtop, 395's....a green iron money pit.

Yeah we have a laser cutter and etcher!
Sounds like a good build! Make sure you start a build thread I would love to follow it!
They're all money pits lol
But you only live once might as well enjoy it!

Awesome fab work. I'm planning on doing something similar this summer. Do you have any ideas on how to integrate a roof rack into this type of hardtop?

Yeah that makes sense. I got stuck on bolting it on for some reason. Really no need to since it's already too heavy to take off without a crane or forklift. Might as well make it a one piece setup. Thanks

My vote is for a new bumper. Mainly because that's on my list and I'd like to see your take on it.
