Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
My vote would go to DMAX.................Love it
Is that a new door skin on the 4th door that was sectioned together?

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
DMAX it shall be! Thanks guys
As far as the door skin, yes it is a new outer door skin that I have cut the correct length, but will still need some tweaking. I figured this way I could do the bodywork front and back until its right. Trevor

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
A member asked to see my roof currently. I am adding truck headliners into the cab, thus why so much cut out.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Been warm so I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts. Close to having one side done to tie in the inner roof. It sure is stout now. Going to be 1 big headliner. Going to need a few sets of trim.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Finally had a day to work on it. Got my inner skin almost all welded up and started to mock up my outer roof skin. I'll still need to grind my inner welds down and run my wiring for the clearance lights and compass map light rear view from my 03 donor before welding it in.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Thanks Ryan, been a lot of work. I'm trying some newer ideas for roofs and been dialing in body lines along the way. I'll get the roof done and dial in the rear doors. Trevor

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Not a whole lot of progress, but pretty close to rough sitting the cab on its new frame. She at least rolls now.
