It's apparently not something commonly done, I suppose.

 

Looks good! Its always fun seeing creative solutions to these types of issues

 

Thanks man.... putting a LOT if time/money into it! It'll REALLY be nice when I'm done "murdering it out". I'll be working on the inside as well - getting the seats re fabricated in a tan suede with black stitching (with chevy emblem), replacing the radio with a touch screen dvd player, some type of lights on the front or top and/or MAYBE a brush guard, etc.... I'm sure there's more. It'll take some time, but I'll have it looking that good AND run it through a sand pit! I'm not into mud pits too much though!
