Re: Front End Conversion's
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THE COWL PANEL? I NEVER SEE ANY INFO ON THIS. ALSO WHAT ARE DOING WITH THE RADIATOR SUPPORT? EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN SO FAR, HAS BEEN RADICALLY MODIFIED OR CUSTOM FABBED, DUE TO SUSPENSION DROP. I'M LOOKING TO EITHER STAY WITH THE STOCK HEIGHT OR MAYBE LOOSE 2IN. IN HEIGHT. I'M TRYING TO HAVE A FACTORY LOOKING JOB OR BEST AS I CAN & MY BUDDY CAN MAKE IT. |

Re: Front End Conversion's
It's not the front end, it's the bumper aftermarket. I have try to instal oem bumper and all fit is good it's because they have a bad angle in this bumper.

Re: Front End Conversion's
mine is semi complete. (i need to finish the glass work to match up the lines and make a cowl)ive had it done for almost a year now, its canyon not colorado. first hanneman fiberglass colorado hood, and it doesnt go on a colorado, lol. hannemann race cut glass for 82-93, i didnt want colorado/canyon fiberglass cuz it looks gay. first and only s10 or sonoma with a conversion for a prerunner type truck the pic is from www.gmachineracing.com shop when i had my truck in their to get their s10 long travel kit put on, they built the kit around my truck, gmachine is a member on the foruml the kit is badass and makes a clean 13 inches of travel. ![]() Last edited by sik_kreations_951 : 02-21-2008 at 11:01 PM. |

OK, DO YOU HAVE ANY INFO ON HOW THEY DID THE FIRST GEN CADDY CONVERSION. I GET THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TO GET THE RADIATOR SUPPORT FOR IT AND THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE PICS OF THE PROCESS. |

Re: Front End Conversion's
1200 for a conversion thats just stupid for a core support headlights and grill. even if it came with a bumper it still be too much. i olny spent maybe 420 on my conversion and 370 was the headlights and the rest was some metal.

Re: Front End Conversion's
when did he make that post. consider the time frame. if it was just a fresh vehicle it might have been more for dealer sheet metal plus the HID's might not have been as easy made as they are today on ebay. this is to the other dude. and this is crooked not sure if u know it ![]() |

Re: Front End Conversion's
89 project lookin good.
I'd like to see someone pull off the 'Vette front end tastefully. I'd say it'd take a chop top and sectioned body to look right. Alot of work though. |

Re: Front End Conversion's
Is there a thread on here with the materials list used to fabricate the tralblazer nose. Is it the stock hood modified or the trailblazer hood modified. I know the fenders are fab'ed using the stock fenders. I am not sure what else is needed, core support?? Thanks Josh

the original blazerado is way better than the second time around. second time doesn't look as flawless as the first.
