Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Thanks guys, I think I cut at least 12 inches out of the middle of the bumper. Once I get the front one squared away, off to the chrome shop! (So far, about 5 inches off each side) Of course tucked within a quarter inch . .

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
BBEEP, looks great. The tail lights looks like they meant to be there. Going to be a ride.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Put the Burb on hold while I built the bus, daughter got married, remodeled the house....
But, it is on it's way again. Installed the rare mid body trim...

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Great looking build. I to like the HHR taillights better. I really like the meld of the AD body to the Envoy frame, and am waiting (like a lot of others on this forum) to see this one in paint! I am in the early stage of doing the same thing to a TF truck, and one of my goals is to reduce some of the "fat" of the TF roof. I like the way you pancaked the roof. From the pictures in Post 451, it looks like your bodyman trimmed around the edges and then expanded the sides of the roof section and welded it up. Is that how he did it? Any additional pictures or insite would be greatly appreciated.
Ricky

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Since the 1 1/2 inches was taken out of the part that was the 'rise', when the top came down, it sat almost perfectly to the body.
And you are using an Envoy?

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
I think you're probably right as far as the width. I don't think you will have to be concerned about the width of the dash or the front track.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Looks amazing! I did a firewall/floor/all systems swap starting at the end of grad school and finally abandoned it a couple months ago, it was a 98 s10 under a 62 (then a 65) body. Everyone who told me it was a waste of time was just wrong. What a great swap.
here is/was mine.   first version, could not register as a 62 because I only had a bill of sale for the 62

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
Your build looks great. Glad to see you back on this after the "Short Bus" detour (that also looks really good). I have never seen beltline trim like that, where in the world did you find it - or did you adapt it from a car?

Considered stainless, but opted to use steel and then chrome plate it instead. I wanted something that looked like it could have been stock...but updated. My goal on the build was to build what I thought the HHR could have been in an all wheel or rear wheel midsize.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
My Hero!!! That is some killer trim, and I would hate to guess the amount of time it took. Does this mean the Burb will be two toned?
