Thanks clunk for the pics, I will be going with this setup when I do mine also.

good stuff scotty with getting the ball rolling. Its the hard part. Ill have to come and have a look at yours before I do mine, maybe have a quiet beer or 2. It won't be happening for a little while though (3 months) so we should be all taught trim and terrific by then lol.

And the process begins!!!!

Dhuck and I started stripping down the back end today to sort how, why, where etc for the rear chop and new bar work. Essentially got the rear bump stops off, the light assemblies out, mudguards off etc. After some deliberation and discussion, decided what height the chop should be (the photo with the green tape) and then looking at space etc at that height for the bar work, the mounts, the brace back to the chassis etc ... Gotta go get GQII tail light assemblies tomorrow to raise the indicators etc (my current ones are just blanks on the brake lights, no indicators etc), and then I can take the frames off holding my lights in place now.

We're planning on doing the cut and bottom frame next weekend, and then I'll start the bar work bending through the week.

I'll throw up more photos and info as I go (taking my time!!) and hopefully it'll end up looking half decent and very functional. Side note - truly amazed at how much the back end opens up with just the chrome bumper trims and mudguards gone!! Should be awesome after 'the chop'!!
