T Hilde · 03-07-2011, 02:23 AM

pretty trick!

OrrieG · 03-07-2011, 01:22 PM

Does the top of the second door follow the front door and arch back to a point too? Or is it rounded and there are triangle infill pieces. Looking like we may be over in April to see it in person. Make that May, got busy at work.

PRWFAB · 04-18-2011, 05:36 PM

Looking good as always . I've just started working on mine again funny if you let it go to long it gets easier to leave it sit. My question to u is a few pages back you shou pics of you dash you are putting into the truck. how do you plan on finishing the ends. as you know I'm using all the stuff out of the dodge I striped and I have a complete dash out of a darango that is 4 inches to long I thought about cutting it down but dont know if i can glue glass the inside of it and puddy the outside or how i can hide the seam. Let me know your feed back
Thanks

BBEEP · 04-18-2011, 05:44 PM

My dash is also about 4 inches too wide. It is the factory Envoy dash. I plan to take the cover back out, strip the padding off, then fiberglass it all. I will cap the ends and reinstall the a/c heat vents along with that. When that is complete I will paint it one of the body colors.
I just think the old truck should have a shiny, painted dash!

PRWFAB · 04-18-2011, 10:15 PM

I agree i like the thought of mixing a touch of new school with the old school.
Plus I like that fat dash look in the Darango with that thin wood grain.I thing it will accent the floor in the back when I get that far. Thanks for the help Beep. I look forward to seeing more of your work when I start getting something done worth while I'll start posting

texacokie · 05-14-2011, 11:59 PM

Any updates?

SnyderCreations · 06-23-2011, 12:38 PM

Wow!!!

**youngrodder** · 06-23-2011, 01:54 PM

it looks like GM thought that this was a good idea as well.

Check out this video I found on the 2011 Power Tour. I have always liked the stuff that the GM power division comes out with.

YouTube - ‪2011 HOT ROD Power Tour,...

It looks like this really hauls.

FFredo · 06-23-2011, 06:03 PM

I just read the full 16 pages.. BBEEP, now when I start to fade on my build I can think back to this buld and be re-motivated!!!!

Very nice insperational work.

VA72C10 · 11-04-2011, 03:59 PM

Cool! Looking forward to the progress

BBEEP · 11-15-2011, 12:43 PM

This is where the body sits compared to the stock 17 inch Envoy wheel with a mud & snow tire. Planning to use 20's. When the fender was permanently mounted, it was moved out about 1/2 inch. Should be interesting to see how big a tire/wheel combo I can get under it!

rchavez101 · 11-23-2011, 05:32 AM

Great job.

1985-GMC · 11-29-2011, 11:21 PM
