Re: Sublaze

Hi Steve,this is the first time I have looked at your post and you have quite a project going there.I have a tailgate from a 72 that the outter skin is in good shape but it is rusted through on the inside where the bed was full of leaves .I will take $60 for it if it will work for your purpose.I can even cut just the outter skin off with the top lip still on it to make it lighter to ship if interested.send me a pm if interested.can't wait to see it finished now that I've seen it.I saw one in truckin mag awhile back with the gate welded up solid and the laid back winshield.Bright red with a 67 or 68 front end and was a very cool looking roadster.keep at it and post some more pics.

Re: Sublaze

I found a tail gate for $30.00 with a little rust on the inside which I will cut off anyway.Thanks for the help on looking for one.I bought a car on the net that was a drug siezed auction,I will post pics as soon as I take some.This will be the 5th one so far and have had really good luck with them as far as condition and drivabilty.

Re: Sublaze

hey i like the idea and styling i was thinking about cutting the back out of a truck do and welding the cab to the frame in the same way u did and ad seats in the middle with 8 grade bolts to the bottom of the seat and to the frame with a few 2 foot long 1/2 chains on a roller system the seat flies back and when i stop fast it would fly forward do u think that would be legal or would i have to get a sub or a blazer

Re: Sublaze

here is what the 68 tail gate looks sitting on the back of the Roadster,I was able to pull the sides in to close the gap to make the welding easier.

Re: Sublaze

Still not sure about a bumper or roll pan on the back,what do you guys think?I was going to close the tail lights in and find a led strip to put across the back.Anyone know who sells these?

I think it would look better with chrome in the back. No roll pans.

Re: Sublaze

i agree, that with a little chrome in the back would look better, too much of one color looks bad. that's my (don't know how to spell it).

I think that red blazer with stock style tail lights would look amazing.
