Most of those are already a given. In southern Louisiana A/C is a necessity, not a luxury. I think I'll stop short of the airbags and onstar though. :lol:

It looks like some good work y'all are doing, I'm definately along for the ride to see all of the other tricks you have hidden up your sleeve.

I assume you are going to use late model latches on the passenger doors?

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

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.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 
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.

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

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 
The interior is currently various shades of gray. And I say again, currently . . .
