Always helps parting with something knowing where the $ is going.
Looking forward to more progress!

Cool! Looking forward to the progress

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.

BBEEP · 11-29-2011, 02:38 PM

Cut the top off!!

Cool! Re-doing the shape of the roof in metal, a ragtop, or a solid plexi roof?

HAHAHA!!! Great minds . . .
Lets see, Volkswagen cloth rollback, new Caddy Wagon double sunroofs, . . .
nope. Sectioning 2-3 inches out. Should give it a chopped look without the actual chopping.
Plus, while it is off, I am making a fiberglass mould of it so I have a smooth, paintable headliner.

xpickup · 11-30-2011, 07:20 AM

BBEEP, Can not wait to see the difference. I thought about putting a sliding rag in my panel truck till I was reading about them leaking. Great build!

Just when I think this truck couldn't be any more fantastic than it already is you come up with something else that takes it a step higher. Can't wait to see the results of this.

Thanks for the kind words. I just can't stop thinkin!! And I can't wait to see the results either!!

1st tail light roughed in. I like the way it follows the contour of the door.

**youngrodder** · 12-08-2011, 11:56 PM

It looks good. Is that the factory envoy lense? I also like the molded in rear bumper

Thanks Marc . . . nope, not the Envoy. It is GM, though.

**youngrodder** · 12-09-2011, 01:08 PM

Atleast you kept it in the same family..ha ha.
Keep the progress coming. How about you roof?

Marc

OLDIRON69 · 12-09-2011, 03:35 PM

Should have it back from the dip shop by Christmas. Then will do the fiberglass mould of the outside to flip into the inside for a smooth, painted headliner.
When the body was dipped, there was too much sediment in the dip tank to clean the top. (& yes, will fix the hole in the roof before I do the glass)

**youngrodder** · 12-09-2011, 08:38 PM

Slick idea for the headliner. I bought a fiberglass one off of EBay but I'm not sure how great it fits. I started fiberglassing some kick panels and it is in the 30's today in MI so it is taking a little time for the resin to set up..

Marc

BBEEP · 12-09-2011, 09:30 PM

Since I plan to glass the dash, I figure I will only upholster from the windows down. Everything else inside will be painted body color, dash, headliner, window surrounds, pillars, etc.
And originally Marc, I was going to paint it black over the new Camaro Synergy Green Metallic--so love your truck!!

**mr48chev** · 12-09-2011, 09:56 PM

Did you have it dipped in the Portland area or? I'm pretty sure that somewhere in the build the cab I am putting together will be better off with a trip to the dip tank.

The hole in the roof from the light that was on the truck in it's early life?

I am going to attempt to do most of my upholstery myself. I have started to design my door panels. I also have a large center console. I will post some pics under what did you do to your truck today when I get a little more done.

Thanks for the kind words. Mine is a custom mix but I get asked all the time if it is Synergy green..
