    Hey Joe, is there any reason you decided to make it so small? I figured you would cut it at the firewall and keep it all the way up to the front doors. Just curious. Looks like it is moving right along.

    The frame was twisted back as far as mid door, windshield surround etc was toast...
    ....and top of firewall/back of hood area was buckled.

    I did several photoshop renditions, chopping top..not chopping top etc etc...
    ..and basically...aesthetically liked the small 'pit trailer" look

    It still embodies enough of the VX 'look' to be readily identifiable..
    ..its PLENTY big enough for Moab gear /spares etc...and perfect for hauling
    location photo shoot stuff around.

    Plus.. its small enough to store easily !!

    Cool, wow, that VX was toast! Yeah, I want to do this exact thing with a pre-87 Trooper 2dr. Someday.

    PS - Billy, I like your keg idea.
