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.

Re: Sublaze
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.

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

Re: Sublaze
I don't think it's against board rules, just frowned upon by the hierachy, More than likely to get one or two of these...

Re: Sublaze
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).

Re: Sublaze
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)

Re: Sublaze
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
