Problem may be solved.....

I have been having a problem getting the roof line just right on the extended cab project that I am working on. It is close be not really what I wanted it to look like. Thanks to the part that I picked up from "Uncle" yesterday, my problem may be solved. With some work of course.

And somewhere theres a convertible suburban....... That should fix the roof area of the crew cab..

Keep us update, can't wait to see how it comes out.

I hope you use the square cornered sub front doors and rounded rear doors

At this time I only plan to make an extended cab without any doors on the rear.

Tim's a good guy, sells at good prices. and this is a project i'm going to keep my eye on, looks pretty cool!

i like that you're going with a sub top rather than two standard cabs. i think the two-cab merge trucks look pretty crappy. this one should turn out pretty good.

How much of the top do you plan on using? I might need what you have left.

I cut the sub top off even with the back door, leaving from the rear window back.

is that part straight? If so, I might need part of it to straighten out some stuff on my crewcab.

The metal on top is real good. There is some rust behind the driver side window area. I still may have to use the part that rolls down at the back to match up the back of my cab.

I need a piec about 35" wide to go in the marked area below.

You do know that the roof line on the suburban is different from the trucks? It is taller with a different line down the side above the drip rail.

It will be easier making that one work than making one from scratch .

I finally got a little more work done on this project. It has taken a while, but the top is starting to come together.

[Hart_Rod]

Looking good! You need to post more pictures, . How much of the roof do you have left?

I still have the whole rear half.

[Hart_Rod]

I need a section about 3 feet wide if you want to get rid of it.

Progress has been slow on this build but hopefully that is about to change. I just ordered a set of suburban doors from GMCPauls. When they come in I will be able to see how much more work roof has left and get the b piilars put back together. Then things should move along a little faster.

Here is a picture of the progress so far. It has been a slow go but any progress is good progress I guess.
