Good God. Why did you show me that? I have to lock up my sawzall to stop myself.

Must resist

Not quite as clean as the O2 IMHO, but I think you have to wonder if this (minus the spoiler) is what a production model would have looked like. The concept had no rollbars, no cover, and probably only minor extra gusseting to compensate for the lack of a roof. Isuzu may very well have implemented this roll bar design to make it pass US safety standards and allow for some sort of top.

Bravo my Russian friend. Bravo. :cool:

I like it but don't much care for the painted cladding...

That looks like a quality chop job for sure. Proof that it can be done!

I see no reinforcement to the windshield pillars.

The rear hoop really should be triangulated forwards or back.

A top is a WIP.
Also, the side windows had to be removed.
I will re-post pictures as they come available )

Prefer to maintain the structural integrity like on my summer mod. TTop rail adds to windshield support and removable canopy for the rear. ;)

Regardless, too rare to take a sawzall to. :(
