52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

[BBEEP]

After 4 years of other projects, I'm finally going to start on my 52 GMC Burb. I picked up my 2002 GMC Envoy yesterday. Haven't seen my idea done with an AD. Basically I'm going to cut off the Envoy shell, leaving the entire floor with seats, firewall, most of the dash, etc. Then remove the shell of the 52, 'channel' it over the Envoy chassis, leaving the drivetrain and all the accessories intact. The install will slip the 52 down so that the body is lowered, while the chassis has stock travel. Later I can bag the stock suspension and lay frame. The Envoy comes stock with a 300 hp inline motor that can be chipped, and all wheel, 4 wheel drive. The plan is to have it driving by next spring. Has anyone out there attempted going in this direction?
