The small back window isnt welded in yet ,there was always some doubt .
Bottom line was I didnt want to use lexan again .

i was gunna change the back window in the ute i have if i did anything with it and it was gunna be stock height

got the sides finished off and smoothed ,now just gotta blend in the rip cords at the bottom



and the tail lights arent supposed to be so black

the fold in the marine carpet doesn't look so good tho.

what did you use to blank out the corner windows?

Sorry missed ya ED , the fold is the ribs in the parcel shelf but the carpet has been turfed to be sure to be sure.
The fill ins are the corners of the roof section the window came outta ,its just the window section is bare steel now so the colouring dont match

Would have to be one of the sweetest looking rides I have seen! Don't change the wheels either

The small window makes the rear of the cab corners look heavy in the photoshop version , dont know if its the colour or what - is it the same size in the photoshop version or is it smaller ? I still reckon its a great idea , might just need refining.

Thats a little better , I rang up the old man for some pointers on doing the louvres .

He said "Mouse" get some ratsak , "photoshop" theres one at the shopping centre ,"Holden" piss off and talk to someone else.

Maybe a smidge wider with the window ? Dont mind it on the darker colour though

What about if you shave the gutters off too , gives it a more rounded appearance to match the back ?

I still like the small window, maybe stretch it out to the sides a little bit, it will visually flatten out the top arch a bit to follow the roof lines better and bring it out to match the roof corners better.

I dont think the photoshop pic does it much justice at all.

Personally i've never used photoshop... just trust your gut feel Harko, it usually works out well.

here's a quick tidy-up version for you Harko.

I agree with you on Photoshopped versions, Ed. But it can help with some people to see something what they have in mind.
I know very few folk that can envisage the whole build in their 'minds eye'. Paul Kelly can and it sounds like you can too.
But some people have a great deal of difficulty seeing "it". That's when an artwork or Photoshopped versions come in useful..plus it's fun to do.

Wow thats awesome scotty ,the luvres are bloody fantastic ,and ya know - I kinda like it again

Its that point for me where I knew what I wanted to acheive with the photoshop but the technique isnt there.
And now you have done it I still cant see how but its right possibly Ill have to raise the window just a touch so Ill have a go at that now.

Would you mind using this window shape and position Scotty and having another go ,if not thats cool.
