Nice ride .................

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Decided it would be easier to practice cutting on a scrap firewall first. We'll make a template first before we cut the firewall on the Envoy that has wiring, master cylinder, a/c, etc. Should all this work out, I will save the template in case there are others on here who would like a template for future builds.

Firewall fits!!
 

Firewall fits pretty good, floor level good. I won't be able to use the cowl vent, but I have front & rear a/c. I will have to use an aftermarket wiper unit of some sort.

Dang I wish I could see that going on in person. :thumbs:

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

You are what, 3.5 hrs away? I'll let you know when I need help placing the 52 body onto the Envoy!:lol:

The 52 body & sheet metal go to the 'dipshop' next week!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

3.5 ! I wish ! It takes about 3 hours to get to West Linn were my son lives.
How far from West Linn ?

I recall some 20 or so years ago acid dipping a 66 Chevelle body lying awake at night thinking to myself I just spent $1300.00 dollars on acid dipping !
Which at that time was more than I had ever spent on a car :lol:

Thanks for the thread ! lots of fun.
Who knows West Linn to Eugene....... possible ?

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Very cool build! Guys like you inspire guys like me to just go out and cut stuff apart and hope we can figure out how to get it back together. Thanks

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

very cool.

Re: Firewall fits!!
 

How far into the body mounts are you? Will the frame fit between the rocker panels / inner cowl area?

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

What did you do with the envoy body parts?

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

great job, Very inspirational

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

How far into the body mounts are you? Will the frame fit between the rocker panels / inner cowl area? The rear body mounts are no problem. It looks like the front ones we'll have to modify slightly. I will post when we get there. The rockers/inner cowl fitment with the frame is NO problem at all. The rear inner wheel house appears to be in EXACTLY the same place.

What did you do with the envoy body parts? D&L Trucks parts in Junction City, Or sold me the Envoy without the sheet metal that unbolts. I volunteered to return the quarters, top, etc. They treated me right on the rest of it, figured it was the least I could do.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

I wouldn't mind getting a copy of your template some day. I wouldn't want it any time soon though.


And; Damn! That looks real good. Nice fit. I can't wait to see the body on there. Keep those pix comin :metal:

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

My wife and family are from Arlington. So of course, no problem! May even deliver!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Wow! Its refreshing to see a real build that thinks outside the box instead of the ol' "bag and drag" build!! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!:metal:

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

If I was 3.5 hrs away from you I would for sure come help put the body back on! Again I say, Way cool project. Keep it up!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Progress Report???

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

definately a sick build i can't wait to see more on! Keep up the good work!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Progress! Off to the dip shop!!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Your panel looks good towing the burb. Can't wait to see more of the progress.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
