Thanks for the welcome, for the rockers I am going to cut them out and when I install my new ones I am going to build a box similar to the style the factory made for the full top blazers. I might also make a sub floor frame if I get the rotiseri finished so I can flip the cab around.

I could bend up some 1 inch 120 wall and use it to help suport the cab so the doors dont get funky on me.

Also I am considering not using the top of the windshild frame, I may cap the ends and leave the top open with just the glass between the two pillers, this would give it a 20's roadster look. If I go this route then I will have the glass cut down about 5-6 inches.

any thoughts on the exsposed glass?

Also if I do go the exsposed glass I would run flat stock all the way to the fire wall running down through the winshild frame sides if possable anyways.
