Just my opinion but I think the back door is a little too big.

Re: Project: Brava-dime
It looks about the same length as the other guys that are building the crew cab ext cab. you should measure from the firewall to the back of the cab and compare it to the other guys. you still may beable to do something like the crew cab ext cab with the length you have.

Re: Project: Brava-dime
I DO REALIZE THE REAR DOORS ARE BIG AND YOU ALL PRETTY MUCH NAILED IT. I WANT LOOOOONG AND LOW. WITH THE X-CAB IDEA SCRAPPED I STILL WANTED THE LOOK SO I FIGURE ITS THIS OR A STANDARD 4 DOOR CAB REAR DOOR AND HONESTLY THE LOOK IS THEY ARE A 1/2 DOOR. I WANT HUGE HERE Last edited by Slappy McNasty : 12-04-2008 at 10:27 AM. |

Re: Project: Brava-dime
i think the giant rear door is awesome, i agree on the crew cab door looking like a half door too. It looks like the roof is going to be a bitch though
on a side note, any plans for the door handle area of the cut up doors. they would look sweet on my first gen |

Re: Project: Brava-dime
are you gonna have rear wheel steering
that thing will be insanely long. i like where you're going with it. it would be a shame to make it the same dimension as a regular crew cab, no one would notice all the work you're putting into it. i think it will be cool to see one big window in the rear doors vs. the post that's in the regular crew cab rear doors. |

Re: Project: Brava-dime
UPDATE:
had a few concerns about the rear door and the body lines not 100% lining up, i cut it all down, pie cut and rewelded it all 2gether. absolutely perfect now vs. yasterdays door welding. have to grind and weld a few areas but its finally there!!.............. now the best news of all!!!!!! after mocking up the roof and HATING THE LOOK!!!! i decided to hack it all off and go for the look i really wanted. i was at werk all day long debating how to pull it off and when i goit home the grinder came out. TO ME THIS IS THE BEST MOD I WILL PROBABLY DO THE WHOLE BUILD!!. i fukkin love the roof and i will find a roof rack to modify and make fit.... im sooo going forthe "national lampoons VACATION look with the roof, hopefully will find some old-ass luggage and tie it on the roof at shows too BEFORE= ![]() AFTER= ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project: Brava-dime
the roof rack can be easily shortened, we were planning on doin the same thing. It looks like if you just remove one screw and take out the end piece, then cut it and drill a new hole. look at one and youll see what i mean.
oh and looking good |

Re: Project: Brava-dime
I really like how the ribbed roof is turning out. Not so sure about the luggage rack though. And I'm really looking forward to seeing the rear doors come together. I bet it'd look badass with the rear doors suicided...

Re: Project: Brava-dime
UPDATE:
i had a few hours again to try and get the doors closer to dunn. gettin the body line (to me) will make or break anything dunn to anything. i did get the door tops welded up and have to grind/clean em up and see where i stand there. i think imma take a full day and hit everything with a flap disk when i know im close to being dunn welding everything. i hate stopping to flap, then weld, then flap........ mounted up the waylayed duel booster for shits and giggles, also was able to trade my shaved wiper cowl to a local guy for a blazer roof rack straight across, love the damn roof now......... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
