You would have to do alot of work but it can be done.... More work than what im willing to do. Thats why im doing the pickup 2 door look so i dont have to deal with the pillars and rear windows

No eventually i will be doing rear disc brakes... Just right now i dont have enough money to do everything i want to up front on the build. Plus in November Im being Medically Seperated from the military. Once I find another job I will be changing brakes and rims.... and what else i couldnt afford at the time
