hey everybody

yes ive searched, and searched.

i know if i want to chop top my 95, ill need a sheetmetal rear hatch from a 97+. ive found plenty of people who have moved the upper hatch of a 97 up to where they cut, and for the bottom they just kind of boxed it in.

i cant really find any pictures though of how an entire 97+ entire hatch would look for a chop top. does it not really fit/look good, or are they just doing things differently?

with the whole hatch comes tail light holes. if you know how to work with sheet metal this is an easy job.

OK...so what you wanting to know is how it all lines up? Im still kinda confused. It not like a cut and fit kinda deal.... It takes a little work. But like stated previously, if you can work with sheetmetal it should be failry easy.
