Talking 4runner Build Question

i'm currently working on a 93 4runner project. i'm thinking about doing a chop to the rear portion, 4-door mini truck. ive seen some of the builds other people have done on here, but i'm wondering how to go about closing the cut section of sheetmetal. also, how much support does the roof lose after chopping it? will it cave? really don't do any hard core off roading, so i'm not worried bout rolling it over. just don't want it to flop in the wind sorta speak. any help would be greatly appreciated! i will post pics during the build... if i don't chicken out!!!............A CASE OF BEER, SAWZALL AND AN HOUR!!!

are you planning on leaving passenger area open to the rear or closing it up into a 4 door truck?

well, not really sure yet. i'd like to do something like a removable back. probably a fiberglass wall that would just pop in and out, but not sure how weatherproof that would be. i'm sure if it were bolted in with some weather stripping, it would keep rain out, but not exactly a quick and speedy removal.
