That's a lot of metalwork, custom glass, and fiberglassing. You may also need to change radiator position based on how much of the front you're cutting off which may effect engine mounting. It also looks like the rear bumper is going to be removed almost entirely would could affect safety.

Looks awesome though!
Good points, thanks. The windshield would be stock and unaltered, rear side windows and rear window would be plastic and cheap. Door windows would have to be custom shaped. Radiator is well out of the way. Roof is pretty flat. Hardest bodywork would be from the b pillar to the rear on the sides, I think. No fiberglassing but some metalwork. Custom bumpers would be integrated into chassis further in.
Also, several details are not shown. For one, wheel wells would be shaped smaller and appropriately.
