Spill the beans?  We don't need beans, just lots and lots of build pictures.  That is really, really nicely done.

as for "ideas" to improve ... add "hatches" to the rear flat area.

I will say again tho ... VERY nicely done.

well i can tell you some dum ass didnt take any pictures.but i will for the next one im building next week.as for the trunk i did mock one up but i didnt think it was worth the effort.you can reach everything from the tailgate..all i did was use a broken hardtop for the lip and 3/4 plywood and plastic epoxy for the cracks.no fibreglass.i sprayed boxliner on the outside.nice and quit going down the highway now.the rear slider i got from a canopy at the junkyard for 15 bucks...total build cost???about 75 bucks.next one will be cheaper now that i know where to cut...and ill take pictures guys ???sorry about that.

When i was in Moab last April, Petroworks had a new prototype roof setup just like that style on a samurai.  Not sure if they've started selling them yet.

That's a neat design you've got.  The rear window looks great because it's nice and wide.

Is the back section removable?

Ideas for improvement, a "curtain" on the inside so as to isolate the passenger and driver seats from the rear compartment. I have a notch back soft top that I always wanted to do that to. Keep prying eyes out of the back. And if it hasn't been said enough already... Very nice work.
