Good post Bryan.

Any more?

bouncytruck · 01-07-2011, 04:47 PM

A lot of work put into this one. He has chopped it and the top fits. He's also cut the doors down to the bed height but figured out a way to keep door glass.

I've been waiting to see if this was possible. I'm most curious about what he did for the windows after he cut the door down. Is there just enough window there that all you need to do is cut it and re-do the felts/runners, given you don't tilt the windshield back?

When you roll the windows up the "sash" comes just under the belt moulding,just cutting the doors would hang the regulator above the new door profile. I see it has part of a jeep top mated to the Blazer top as well; car firewall, floors, frame? Hhmmmhh.

I'm guessing that since he chopped the top, he had "extra" window so the regulators don't need to be all the way up.

Perfect.....

Got that hood done yet???

PHAT TONY · 01-09-2011, 01:03 AM

Agreed, but the windows shape must play some role as well. Flat glass is easily altered. I see no reference to the flared wheel lips; lots of work that's for sure.

72BlckButy · 01-15-2011, 09:01 PM

bump...

72BlckButy · 01-17-2011, 06:43 PM

He's had it for sale before, plus those pictures are from the same show that I posted pictures of it from.

r1lorenzini · 01-28-2011, 06:23 PM

O I thought it might of been yours but didnt remember you shaving the top off and things like. that. is it worth 22k since youve seen it

hotrodhomi · 01-28-2011, 07:24 PM

I would pay that much if I wanted something like that, but as it sits I would still want to change a few things based on personal preference.

r1lorenzini · 01-28-2011, 08:16 PM

looks pretty nice just seems like roadster (no more top) option kill it for me even if I never am gonna use it

hotrodhomi · 01-28-2011, 08:49 PM

it's a roadster. The doors are cut flush with the bed rails.
