My dad, who's recently gotten back into building after more years than I've been alive, has cracked into the Scout kit I gave him. I fully expected him to replicate the 1:1 he used to own, but to my amazement, the old guy had a neat idea. [

I like halfcabs, the first gen Bronco being high on the list, so I decided to whip open a Scout and have a go at it myself. We're both pretty green at custom bodywork so bear with us. You've gotta start somewhere, and sitting-on-yer-butt-doing-nothing doesn't make perfect. So have a look at our two different halfcab ideas, and let us know your thoughts. I won't say whose is whose just yet but- One of us went for a straight B-pillar, and will use the removed roof section as a tonneau cover, the other one chose an angled B-pillar, a smooth tonneau, and filed the roof smooth to match.
Who likes what, and why (not?)
