This is my old highschool mini i bought stock when i was 15, it was featured in tailgate 2003 and SSM in 2002, in 2004 i bought my xcab project from a customer/buddy of mine and used my engine and parts to finish it. Now that it is done its time to finish what i had planned....

Here's a few pics of it from 2002ish

So now on to the good part, i decided to chop the top 1.25", suicide doors, and the dash is out of a 52 chevy deluxe..
top chopped

door frame cut and laying back glass
frame back on and mirror shaved with radius
metal finished

marking rear window frame to resize, lowered 3/4" glass molding removed and mounted flush with a 1/8" gap when finished

still need to cut sides of frame and move in about 1/2"

chop top VS stock top on my 97

Saving the graphic outline for future needs


And here's what I'll b doing next.. If ya can't figure it out I'll have progress pics up this week maybe tonight

a few hours and 2 6" dewalt cutting wheels later

1.5" section. Forgot my saw horses in the garage so I didn't do doors today but the cab is cut and tacked in place as well as fenders. Also cut firewall out so I can build a new one. Not bad for a half days work. Gotta go Xmas shopping now.

This is a rear wheel. Tires a lil bigger than the front, didn't have the front wheels there
need a bad fender to graft into center where i moved it back to match body line

very cool nice work

keep up the good work.

Sectioned and chopped, this thing is gonna be wicked.

Very Nice! To bad I'm working really hard this week or I'd come help.... lol

extreamly good work, hope to be their one day

No that truck is still n Florida original owner still. He said the interior is the only thing left and I will ready for this show season. I believe his has a Colorado front clip
Our trucks get mixed up a lot lol.

This is the truck Jimmy's built.. Very nice I might add

Yeah that is a sick truck

That's rite, my bad. I like all that ur putting into the body of this thing. Making it different than a standard bodied dime. Keep up mods. Have a good christmas yo.

Got doors cut and started mocking up everything to weld out. Gotta widen lower part of cab a lil on each side but other than that it all lines up well
Ran outta cut off wheels and called it a day...










47" that's just under 4 ft for you non mathematical peeps lol

I think a full size 88-99 chevy bumper will lay out nicely with no valance
Will hafta get measurements and check on that for a front end

Definately gonna hafta run a 225/35/18 n front to fit inner fender wells in there
that's all for now..
DUECES

dam bro that is cool as fuck love it

Damn that looks sick, keep up the good work!!

Looks Awesome!! Ive always wanted to chop n section something

Im lovein it man! Awsome.

Ordered a pair of these. Hope to start on building the frame as soon I finish the section on the body.
