1/2 cab idea

I really like the look of the fiberglass 1/2 cabs, but I have an idea.
Has anyone built a 1/2 cab with a lower cab closeout(to make a super short pickup) out of metal? I was wondering if it would be hard to build a 1/2 cab hardtop using the top off of a Sammy hard top, sunroof and all.
it seems like you could use the front of the hard top and weld it on the targa bar, close up the rear of the targa with some sort of window, (rear hardtop window?)and make a lower cab closeout below the targa rear window.
Then using metal to close up the openings in the rear sides and rear door and rino spraying the resultant rear box.
You would have to move the stock roll bar foreward, or just make a new bar in the bed to be safe though, and to make the top easialy removable.
This would be really kool!
Has anyone done anything like this?

Yeah, I gave him the link, but I forgot to add that I DON'T recomend posting there. Those ass holes had rather yank themselves and make fun of everything or "flaming" (what kind of term is flame anyway? All I can say is if I were starting a slang trend I would have picked a SLIGHTLY LESS GAY word to use), like a bunch of 6 year olds on the play ground, than give up any good info. Reminds me of Bevis and Buthead.... Ahh ... He said penis. Ahh Ha Ha HA Ah.... I flamed you ... I flamed you Ahh Ha Ha ... I'm soo cool...... BEVIS! Don't get me wrong I like Bevis and Buthead, but I don't want to ask them questions when I am trying to do research for a project.

I search and read old posts there but NEVER start anything new.
Good luck whichever route you go.
Later,
F_T

I like to Razz the new folk every once in a great while, but usually always offer to help out.

Unless the person is being a complete tool, then I'll sit back and watch the show.

ORC used to be sort of like POR back in the day...lol

Those boys ain't all that bad. They only get on you if you ask really dumb questions, or if you ask about something that has already been beaten to death instead of searching first. You have to remember, it's more of a hardcore 4x4 site so they tend not to tolerate questions about what color seat covers you should buy, or what size mudflap works best for 31" tires. They like radical build-ups and discussing new or off-the-wall technology that someone is using on their rig.

yeah, but have you actually tried to do a search there? You get 400 posts telling someone to go search! and 2 that have bits of the information you want in it!

Can't honestly say that I have. Sounds like it just might be a big hassle afterall. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

That board is kind of like a bad car accident to a buzzard. It's such a show that it's hard not to look as you pass and you can fly by and get some good eating from the mess once it's all over, but in the end you are just glad you were not a part of it as it happened.
