Im making a 2 door roadster out of a 68 sub,it sits on a 90 chevy truck frame,so far I have cut the top off dehind the front doors.I have a 90 truck bed I was going to use for the back,not sure if I will have to narrow it yet,I have a 5-7 drop on the frame and will see if it needs a body drop.I will send pics as soon as i get some down loaded.Seen one in the new Truckin mag. and that started it for me,and no turning back now.

Post pics a soon as possible. Sounds very interesting and I love seeing guys create masterpieces with skills I don't have.

Jtrux · 10-23-2008, 01:08 PM

Seeing as how i'm the least visual person I can't picture what you're saying so I NEED pics to understand what's going on. It sounds pretty interesting.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't it against board rules to post something like this without pics?

Frizzle Fry · 10-29-2008, 09:27 AM

Let's see it man!

Frizzle Fry · 10-31-2008, 01:36 AM

Since you went back and posted the photobucket link in the first post I'll go ahead and put them up here for you:

RED72blazer · 10-31-2008, 02:42 AM

sweet! You really tore into that thing! I got a couple questions. what are you going to use for the rear tub? And how are you planing on finishing the windshield?

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-31-2008, 08:50 AM

WOW, That's

but I think I like it

Frizzle Fry · 10-31-2008, 10:30 AM

I'm really trying to picture where this is heading but I'm not seeing it. Just curious, why not use a Blazer to make a two door roadster? Also, would you like this moved to the projects/builds section (more traffic there - no offense Blazer/Jimmy dudes).

Jtrux · 10-31-2008, 11:34 AM

That's pretty wild.

Didn't you hear? Everyone is into slicing and dicing suburbans now.

Steve Kelly · 11-01-2008, 12:00 AM

I have looked at some blazers to make the Roadster out of and the price they for a 2wheel and the amount or rust in these years was too much. I had the Sub sitting in back of my shop so I thought I had nothing to lose by cutting it up(sorry Sub fans).I have a newer bed plus both stock truck bed sides for the the back when I get to that part.Once I get the body back on I will see how much body drop I will need to get It where I want it(not wanting to use air bags)

Frizzle Fry · 11-01-2008, 05:54 AM

Well there you go

You know, though, after doing a frame swap as you did the 2wd thing was not really a factor. Are you going to add rocker boxes? Looks like the width of that frame may not allow it. Looking forward to more pics!

Interesting. I too am here to see how this goes!!

westbrookw · 11-04-2008, 10:28 PM

What do you mean by roadster? Not really seeing it. I will stay tuned on the same bat channel.

toomanytoyz · 11-04-2008, 10:25 PM

Are you Having Trouble Posting Pics? pm me a Link & I will try to Help if i Can?

Rick

toomanytoyz · 11-04-2008, 10:55 PM

When you are in your Account at Photobucket, Find the Pic you Want to Post & Then Click on img code which is the 4th one down & You will see it turn Yellow for a Moment Say Copied. After Doing that Step you just Paste it into your Post.

This is an Example from my account..........

I would Suggest that you use a Word Processing Program such as Notepad or Word & Type up your Content of what you wish to Post & insert the Image in this by your Text. When Done with all Typing of Mesage & Pasting of Pics in the Document you can Cut & Paste this into the area for your Post..........

I Hope this make's some sence to you...

Rick

Steve Kelly · 11-07-2008, 11:37 AM

I shortened the frame 23" and have the drivers bed side sitting in place,will post pics as soon as I get time.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-07-2008, 04:52 PM

**Hart_Rod** · 11-07-2008, 11:16 PM
