Re: has anyone done this?
years back a gy did that with an older generation cadillac.. he cut the section of the cadi out and then spot welded it in and filled it like you would do a patch panel.. it requires alot of work , skill and expertise in bondo to make it come out looking right tho

Re: has anyone done this?
I've seen that truck in person, and it's one nice piece of work. The conversion, while well done, does not look that great. It just looks funky and while it is different, different doesn't mean cool.

Re: has anyone done this?
There was a company that made that full shaved skin in years past. I think it was Mar-k kustoms. I have a friend with a smooth tail on his 78. I'll have to ask...
