I would have to agree. The headlights fit the fenders fine and the hood doesn't seem bad if it had a TB grill in there. The grill looks like complete bad, along with that envoy bumper cover. It's all twisted by the fenders plus the gap under the headlights to the bumper cover looks awful. I think some attention to detail and it would look a lot better.

It's sad because I see crap like that a lot when people do 'custom' work and never pay any attention to details. And I'm shocked at how many magazines have feature trucks with broken lights, huge panel gaps, etc and most of which are all OEM parts.

put a third row of seats in there and it could look like it came from the factory like that. Jimburban looks like complete shit. That shows what can happen if you get drunk and decide at that moment you might actually have some fab skills

Re: Front End Conversion's

u know opinions are like assholes. so this is just my opinion. i think the front looks fricken flawless the gaps are nice and smooth and transitions nicely as well. but the doors take away from it. id rather see normal opening doors then lamob's. i hope this doesnt make u ill, but like i said its my opinion and u have to build the truck to suit you. hell u might not like my blazer when its done so its all good.

Re: Front End Conversion's

its all good. thanks for the complements. i did the doors way back in 05 when they were not a dime a dozen and had not been full vertical on a s10 yet. i know the more i look at it, it just dont go good slammed on the ground with the doors in the air. ive been thinkin of going to suicide. and like u said we build em to what we like at the time and its for our own enjoyment. its great if someone else likes it but if not as long as u like ur ride at the end of the day thats all that matters. im really liking the rendering

Before I start on that again,I have to finish fixing up my tow truck,finish up my ZR2,do some things on my Monte Carlo,I have to replace a couple gaskets on my 600 Enduro,I'm also getting a demolition derby truck('86 Chevy K20) ready for next year. After all that,then I'll start on the 2003/1994 350 Z Roadster pick-up.

thanks for that man yeah it took me a lil over 4 months to get it just right. i had to make sure that every gap was the same and it all came together without lookin like it was hacked. i had points where it didnt look good at all well and i redid it. but yeah i was waitin for all the harsh comments bout the doors but hell to each there own right. they are on the chopping block next. its the only part of the truck i have not redone in the past 2 years. i like the function of the doors but now that it is bagged it done go with the rest of the truck.
