I love the build, the process. I think "wow" works now.(for me)
Maybe a bigger "wow" down the road.

BBEEP · 12-14-2010, 05:36 PM

Cutting into a pickup cab to get the door splash and the inner edge of the door. It will be used in the suicide door.
Also, playing with possible 'cut' lines for the two-tone paint.

BBEEP · 12-15-2010, 05:40 PM

Dropped the door parts at the 'dip' shop today that we cut off the pickup. I went ahead and dropped the hinges, too. We will try to use the original hinges.
For the latches, we got a back door off of a Silverado and will use the internals for the top & bottom latches, and yes the front door will use a bear claw and latch to the new rear door.

VA72C10 · 01-05-2011, 02:45 PM

sounds like good progress....now we need to see it

BBEEP · 01-05-2011, 03:06 PM

The radiator. (with shortened 52 core support)
The fenders.

VA72C10 · 01-05-2011, 03:44 PM

BBEEP · 02-26-2011, 07:43 PM

Back to work on the burb this week. Suicide hinges installed.

Time to start seriously thinking about what color(s) to paint this truck . . .

My 1st thought was matching the interior color. Envoy's have any good colors you like?
What about finding that interior color on other GM cars?

A dealer might have source books that you could look through and see what exterior colors were options with that interior. Might help narrow down your choices?

BBEEP · 02-26-2011, 11:45 PM

The interior is currently various shades of gray. And I say again, currently . . .

Looking good. Would like to see more pics of the added doors.
