UnCuts with Half Doors?

Debating on where I want to go on my LUBR. Does anyone have any photos of uncut Bronco's with half doors or tube doors? How about no doors? Due to the height of the cage, I will not be able to run a hard top so I will most likely be cutting the window frames off.

Here is mine as of last weekend with the 3.5" lift and 3 leaves removed in the back

Also getting ready for my ProtoFab bumpers

My '75 is not uncut...it has front fenders grafted in on the rear, but it does have custom half doors. (Shaved and frameless)

I love Broncos uncut with or without doors it really doesn't matter IMO. The original body lines look old school compared to cut with flares.

But with that said what Mustang did by grafting in front fenders into the rear quarters looks really good too. A good buddy did the same on his truck and it turned out great! He to is running the 1/2 door look too!

This is "Hot Tamale" which Jay Blakeslee built for Maria. This is a photo of us passing them on 81 North coming home from Super Cel is 2012 I believe. Doors were shaved, gutted and welded up on top.

Just went through all 77 pages of the LUBR thread and there isn't 1 single EB with half doors, vent windows and a family cage

Found some more half doors though

The vent windows are attached to the removable upper window frames and when you make half doors, and you remove the window frames, you're left with a 2" gap in the front of the vent window by the windshield.

It would look goofy unless you made a special small wing window frame in a triangle.
Also, without the window frame on, the wing window is only held on by 1 bolt in the door.

Ya I think Ive decided to keep the windows/frames. Ill just paint them to match the cage so they blend in a little better.

There was a red bronco on here a while back that modified the top and rear of the window frame to be removable and they drilled/tapped/added tabs to bolt the top of the removable portion to the vent window frame and down at the rear door shell, so that piece would bolt on/off but leave the rest of the frame/wing window intact. it looked pretty sweet, but I cant remember which thread it was in!
