Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
The most amazing doors I have ever seen. I just picked up the front clip and doors from the dipshop. They even remarked how nice they are. They look like brand new. Not ONE pinhole of rust in either door, and not even a door ding!!
![]() My 'electrician' will be looking at the truck this evening to determine where the computer and battery will go. Sorry guys, I won't be using the current battery box. ![]()

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Envoy dash cover installed. You can see how much wider it was than the 52. I'll improvise with the side vents and headlight switch. Where it attaches to the dash I will heat the plastic and raise it after we install something under the windshield for support and to attach the window trim to.

The response was underwhelming - mostly the sound of crickets. One guy said he had done one and put the ECM inside the cab on top of the tranny tunnel and he had just cut and spliced his harness one wire at a time. I doubt there is an aftermarket "extension harness" available that would make this easier. On my project I think I will be able to keep the ECM inside the engine bay and just fab/mod the bracket a bit. But if I have to move it far enough that it requires cutting the harness then I am going to aim for under the passenger seat. |

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Is there room enough to put the ecm in that space to the right of the glove box? I'm not sure how much space you have there but it looks like you could mount the ecm to that bigger bracket and have a removable plate (maybe two) for access.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
I am taking it tomorrow to a local stereo shop where they will be moving the ECM and the battery. The guy does awesome work and was an electrical engineer for GM. Good creds! He says it will take him less than a day.
We will start fitting the front sheet metal Friday. I think the doors will be on it before I run it to the stereo shop tomorrow.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Can you post up a pic of the underhood by the ecm? If its bolted to the intake like my wifes I didnt think clearance would be a prob. Looking good though
I stumbled across this the other day. pretty much the same idea, kinda. http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2763036 Nick |

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
I did the opposite on my Jeep....I took 36" out of all the wires going to the ECM. One good night with my soldering iron and heat shrink and I had it done. One wire at a time, and find a comfortable position to sit in and it's not too bad.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
1952 Burb,
41-48 Chev pass. car, frenched. Like the Burb best, the frenched would be cool too as they would match your panel. The more I see the HHR the more it grows on me. Loving the build !

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
I think to continue the "old mixed with modern" theme you've got going on, you have to use the HHR tail lights.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Have been leaning towards the HHR's frenched into the door. The back door will have a pushbutton opener just to the right of the window. I want it to disappear into the darker upper color.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
So wrong. BBEEP I say go with the big stock ones or the HHR look. Are you going to keep the ambulance theme in anyway?

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
I got the small ones like on your yellow for mine. But I like that HHR look.The more I look at your tailgate on your burb the more I like it would they interchange with a 54 panel. I may need to find one

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Ive been starring at the tail lights on my moms hhr every time I visit. Thinking how much she would mind if it "borrowed" them for my gmc.
