Ok boys and girls this is our first saftey lesson of the day : DONT WEAR THIN GLOVES WHEN USING A GRINDER WITH A CUT OFF WHEEL ON IT!!!!

The same to you! Be safe with that grinder man!

It's looking great. I think a newly made bezel will be awesome. Look like an original but with a modern twist.

tomsprojects · 01-01-2012, 07:43 AM

I didnt get to my shop until after 5pm but I still was able to get some work done on my 4 door build. Im still not sure if Im going to go with a small door like the passenger side or use full size doors and make it a real crew cab.
Here are a few pictures from Saturday night.

tomsprojects · 01-01-2012, 07:49 AM

A few more pictures. Have you ever seen a original paint rust free Sub. like this?

kikkegek · 01-01-2012, 08:02 AM

Only from you lucky SOB's in the SW. Door size could depend on how long you will make the bed and the overall look you want it to have. There are a few extended cabs on the board and some of the old coach company built crew cabs also you could look up for comparisons.

The problem I've seen on the full door style is the window areas never look right. The rear doors always look a bit too long and they tend to look like huge work trucks. Even using a short bed it will be a looong truck. Aren't the rear doors a bit shorter than the front on the newer crew cabs also?

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-01-2012, 11:45 AM

I'd make it as long as you need to comfortably fit people in the back seat. If I ever find a burb tub, that's how I'm going to do mine.

tanman722001 · 01-01-2012, 11:54 AM

You sure can cut up a burb and a truck fast.Looking forward to this build.Makes me wish I could build one.I think a full size rear door would look fun.So I say keep the rear door smaller then the front.Just my 2 cents.Tony

VA72C10 · 01-01-2012, 05:41 PM

Looking good. That burb is amazingly rust free!

ChuckDriver · 01-01-2012, 10:44 PM
