How to make a bobtail>?

(1/2) > >>

MattW:
Hi y'all

looking around and there are plenty of old v8 rangies going for <£500. Can anyone give me some basic idea of whats involved in creating a bob-tail please? From a 5 door to a swb?

i.e.

* how short does the chassis go?
* are there problems with shortening the drive shafts?
* do you keep the original roll bar to support the cab roof?
* is the body work a pain?

thanks
Matt

Does it have to be a 3 door rangie?
They are very rare now so I'd prefer to do it to a 5 door. Maybe I just mean shortening the chassis to a swb size.
