This is the truck I would build if I had the time and money. The doors are stretched about 8 inches and the back is stretched about a foot maybe a little more plus it would have to at least look like the bed was not attachaced the cab.

That a photoshop?

I wish it wasn't a photoshop but that is all it is right now. Maybe someday it will be more then just a photoshop!

Save up & get an SSR used

hyperv6

I was going to say the same thing the SSR would be cheaper to buy and more reliable than to build one of these.

Looks good but just not worth the money when you can buy one with a folding top already done in RWD.

I understand why you feel that way however I don't like any part of the looks of the SSR so that would not be an option at all.

I know many people like to dream with out price tags.

Sorry I am the opposite I dream with prices and what it would take to make it right. Just a habit. I tend to let cost and value enter any project picture.



To be honest GM never got the SSR right even with all the money they spent. You can't reach the seat buttons with out the door open and the chassies even full framed is a wobbly mess.

Hyper you assume to much as to me not weighing the cost and the process of tearing a vehicle apart and rebuilding it in another form. A quick history lesson, I grew up in a body shop and salvage yard the first item I repaired on an automobile was replacing the complete front end on a 1967 Buick LaSaber which I might add was a new car at the time and I was 11. My dad didn’t let me paint it at that time however I did do all the prep work for the paint job oh yea it was painted prior to assemble so I had to be very careful in the assembly process. As to the cost, it would not be near as much as you might think with the labor costing nothing and as far as parts needed they would be from a salvaged (just before being crushed) vehicles. I do agree with one thing you said Hyper, we are the opposite but its like my grandmother always use to tell me, “can’t never could”.

I like it, I'd drive one! (Mmmm now to take your dream further: powered with twin SS engines, yummy!)

I appreciate your skills and I am sure you are very good at what you do.

I think our end result expectations are also different.

I just try to weigh the cost of building a car today. Even restoring a car to show standards yourself correctly can be very expensive anymore.

Well if you think it is that cheap and easy give it a wirl. I would love to see it in metal.
