[jdoe44]

That's cool. I hope it goes together without too many problems. What are you going to do for windows?

[green97nissan]

what are u doin exactly ive never seen this i guess!:confused:

[nisrod]

crew cab hb??? cool!!! agian---windows???

[shavedmax]

i'm using the factory window that moves and trying to have the fixed glass cut down or custom made. i've been planning it out for about 2 years. i bought the pathfinder off ebay over 2 yrs ago with a rotted out frame, but a clean body. i bought the pickup a little over a year ago, with the same problem. i didnt want to start until i was 100% ready, but i dont want someone to come out with one before i do. the doors will be a little longer than the double cab navara. looking at the pictures it looks like it could use a little more room anyway.
once the doors are built i can section in the cab and make a frame. i finally have a garage to work out of so itll be easier to do than under my costco tent, lol.

[pugz]

cool. your in for ALOT of work but if done right will be bad ass. ive seen a few trucks built this way. and alot have tried. i hope u pull it off

[shavedmax]

cool. your in for ALOT of work but if done right will be bad ass. ive seen a few trucks built this way. and alot have tried. i hope u pull it off

thanks pugz
it really comes down to breaking it down into small manageable pieces. doors first, clip next, frame, bodydrop, bodywork, paint.

my maxima was totaled when i bought it and i changed the rear clip. best and easiest way to do it(when hit that hard), so long as you reinforce the points where you dont section it at a factory location. the floor was done at a factory seam and the rockers and sail panels were overlapped , welded inside and out on the inside then closed up on the outside. it's been 3 years and i've never had an issue.

some people would cut the doors in half and butt weld it together. if you look at the doors i cut out the skin, this way i could cut out the reinforcement and replace it once the frame is built. the frame will overlap on the inside, not for the strength of the panel but for the strength of the weld. thin a$$ metal will burn through when butt welded, so if you could have an overlapping weld you have less of a chance of burning through, and less finish work on the welds. plus with the skin off i could properly prime and seal the inside welds. i thought about changing the skin completely, but the front edge would still have to be welded on instead of crimped on, so i dont want to spend 300 bucks a door to still do plastic on 50% of it.

anyway, snowing today and i got home at 8, probably no updates until the weekend.

[LowEnuff]

kool bro cant wait to see the finished product, good luck

[Kingcab720]

That's awesome bro, good luck!

[drginazzhb92]

thats sweet man i cant wait to see it man....this is gonna be sick bro..

[x03mrmx03x]

finally..

i was waiting for somebody to do this!

[O G B-RON C]

Cool, This will be interesting. Sounds like a shit tone of work! Props Dude!:thumb:

[nissandoordragger]

i to have been plannig on doing this but have still not been able to get ahole of a pathfinder for a desent price

[shavedmax]

i to have been plannig on doing this but have still not been able to get ahole of a pathfinder for a desent price

i bought my pathy on ebay for 50 bucks i think(maybe 150, either way it was cheap!). i paid 300 to have it delivered though. it used to be a priest's truck and the frame rotted out. the body was mint though. i've been sitting on it for over 2 yrs trying to figure out how to do it right, and waiting to build a garage. now that i have the garage, time to start it.

anyway here's the update for the night:

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z182/shavedmax/DSCN1046.jpg

the only thing that's bugging me right now is the factory indent on the left side of the door. the easy way to get rid of it would be to weld on a piece of metal, then cut the other piece off the truck. but then the proportions on the door would be off. if i cut out the top of the frame and move it forward it hits an inside reinforcement, plus then i have to move the center bar over too. i'm probably just over analizing it, but eventually i want to suicide the doors and i think it'll look ackward.

[1sick94hb]

haha i hate to thread crap but i see "Chicago" Made in China. Thats a funny one!
good luck with the build though!

[drginazzhb92]

haha thats funny i saw that too...and cant wait to see more bro its goiin to be tits

[JRock]

dude props for busting out a cut up door next to the dishwasher. thats pimp.

[Swschz]

just out of curiosty.....how big will your actual rear door be?say from glass seal to glass seal?

ill measure my 4 door HB and you will then know how much bigger it is exactly...if you want?

[GutterHXCGrowl]

I'm slightly confused as to what you are doing? But good luck with the build and keep us updated!

[Swschz]

i think hes cutting the back half of a 4 door pathy off and replacing it with the back half of a front door to make a "square" door like that of a 4 door HB,then hes going to chop n change a single cab into a double cab truck

am i right?

[OLDSCHOOL]

My wife would kick my ass if I brought a door in the kitchen!

[crunchytaco]

thats what i was thinking^^^

that would be awesome. i had thought of trying to import a back glass to make it exact, but shipping glass is too risky, plus i do want it to be a little bigger. if you could measure the bottom below the bodyline(about 50mm from the bottom) in the center(either by the indented body line or under the window) and at the very top.

[mini702]

It fits together like this...

haha, i did that 3 years ago(maybe even four) but didnt think it was possible to do then. it's snowing out right now and i dont feel like freezing or else i'd trim out the doors a little more. i think i have the length the way i want it now, i'm just not sure if it really is a big square or if it should have some curve to it. i'm planning on using the mounting from the front inside door handle but the rear door window crank mount.......attached to the front window regulator so it'll open all the way. i'm thinking of buying another set of doors, with power windows.


the one with the 2 door rear is actually pretty cool, but i'm not changing up now.

[04nissanfrontier]

Bro, I give you mad props for even attempting this, hope it comes out the way you want. :nana2:Holla

[Swschz]

ok i got some pics and measurements

heres a factory door.note the indent in the door shape to the top right
http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i252/swschz/DSC03149.jpg

at the top (narrower it measures in at 710mm)

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i252/swschz/DSC03148.jpg

in the middle,near bodyline and the bottom its parralel and measures in at 745mm

(pic angle is abit off,but gives visual indicator....my measurement is right.)

does the top of your door have a crown or is it perfectly straight? the pathy door has no crown to it,
but the front door starts to curve very close to the back.

thanks again for the info!

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i252/swschz/DSC03151.jpg

How big is your door?

you are the man! wanna ship me your glass?

my door right now is 825mm(32.5 inches for us on the left side of the globe)

so my door is 3.5 inches longer than a navara double cab. i think it looks better longer, plus i can use the fixed glass without spending a ton of money on custom made glass.(i'm trying to have someone cut it for me)

for anyone wondering, the pathfinder rear glass is 3.5 inches narrower than a double cab glass.

[Swschz]

sorry man,dont want to ship glass,im missing a rear left piece of glass myself (had a chap try shave a door-weld splatter hit the window) and they hard enough to come by,let alone a pair.

yea,you will definatly appreciate the extra legroom.....bugger all room in the back of mine....not that i care coz i am the sole driver :)...but it will save you from having to move ya seat forward abit.

so thats a difference of 80mm,thats a decent bit.

if you need any interior trim pieces let me know...when you get to that stage,im keen to do trades for airbag parts etc.......stuff in NZ is expensive

cheerio

[mini702]

so what's the width of the Crewcab window and the Pathy sliding window? 22.5" and 19"?

[shavedmax]

so what's the width of the Crewcab window and the Pathy sliding window? 22.5" and 19"?

my pathy window is in the snow right now so i cant give you an exact on it, but the frame opening is 16.5 inches, the glass is probably 17. therefore, a double cab glass is probably 20/20.5 inches wide.

[shavedmax]

here is the shell after i trimmed it out
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z182/shavedmax/DSCN1051.jpg
and the door skin cleco'd in place
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z182/shavedmax/DSCN1052.jpg

i'm not planning on welding anything up yet until i have the cab ready, in case i need to adjust anything. the pathy door does tend to taper toward the back, i'm not sure if i'll adjust that or leave it so the roof looks better.

[syk1]

keep it up i cant wait to see more

[drginazzhb92]

dam comin along nicely

kick ass!

i'll be building a frame fron the firewall back after the cab is built

[shavedmax]

as of yesterday the pathy is in two pieces. got dark too quick so i couldnt take pics. paybe new years

WOW, I'll be watching this build.. full points for effort and execution! if you want to cut down the doors to suit rear 4door glass, i know a few wreckers locally to me that have some rear door glass, or whole rear doors, id be happy to price it and work out how to send it to you if you wanted, along with any specific photos or measurements you might need.

i'll be watching yours too. i thought about getting the glass or doors imported, but i think that its more trouble than it's worth. plus i plan on making mine a little longer, i think it fits the truck better.

hopefully some updates tomorrow. maybe ill have the other door mocked up.

quick update. rigth side doors cut up, but not trimmed to fit yet. cut appart what was left of the frame on the pathy and got the rear clip out of the way. hopefully i can get someone to pick it up tomorrow. i test fit the door i made, almost looks like a truck! lol.
once the right door is ready to go i'll cut appart the pickup. should move quick from there. i still dont know what i'll do with the roof. i really want a big sliding rag, but i've never heard someone be 100% happy about them.

[88hb]

damn your really moving it along.

[Swschz]

cool man,starting to look like a 4 door truck.

any thought how you will connect the 2 floor sections together?will you do a straight butt weld along the cut?

nah, i'll overlap it and use spot welds just like the factory did. you really cant see but the piece of metal exposed(not covered by the carpet) is actually spot welded about 6 inches in. i'm going to take that off and weld the new floor where that used to be. this way once it's painted it looks like it was supposed to be there. it also lets me offset the cuts between the floor and rocker panels making the rockers overlap. then i'll butt weld the inside of the rockers from both sides and weld the outer rocker in as a cover.

project is looking great man, and i said it once and i'll say it again, you're a true pimp for taking the pictures in the kitchen. I've had g/f's that bitched about me leaving MT in the bathroom and model kits on the kitchen table. You must have one hell of a pimp hand....

i have pictures of my 16 month old daughter helping me too, lol. i couldnt keep her away from the hammer and dolly. it's way too cold to me working outside and my garage is full with my maxima in it(plus its not heated)

[layinframe]

Are you gonna bag an body it?

[JRock]

dude i didn't have any idea your maxima was so bad-ass too... i just looked at the other rides thread...

[shavedmax]

SFBD since i have to build a frame. i think i'm gonna bag it. i was thinking of juicing it, but i've had 2 juiced cars, i'd like to try a bagged one

not pictureworthy update. got he second skin cut and adjusted the size on the first door. it snowed this week,so i dont think i'll get any work done this weekend outside.

^^nice progress...can't wait till u finish it :thumb:

[shavedmax]

taking a bed off by yourself is fun..................not. the std cab still runs and drives so i want to move it before i cut it up. ideally i want the new cab in the garage and my maxima outside, but the hydraulics arent hooked up in my maxima so it'll be fun to get it out since it's hairs away from the floor.

i never realized how low hardbodies are when on the floor. the bed is way low, i have to bend over to touch it. makes me think the truck is not going to be layed out too much when i actually drive it. why anyone would door their truck. gonna be a little busy with life stuff, dont know how much progress i'll get done today

[balln]

whats the word on the truck?

[shavedmax]

whats the word on the truck?


the back of the cab's been cut off and sitting on a dolly next to the doors. i started to finnish the plumbing on the hydraulics on my maxima first this way i could get that out of the garage and get this in. the weather is getting better but it would still be noce to do it inside.

i've been dreaming of this truck for 2 years, it's not going to disappear that fast!

[JRock]

as long as the update pictures still get taken in the kitchen, we're cool...lol

[CARfab]

good to hear that your still getting a bit done on the truck,I've been slack but i'll get an update up soon. I demand more photos! :)

yeah i need to get my maxima rolling again so i can enjoy it this summer. 4 pump hydro setup , with everything in the trunk hardlined. i got started with it last year and never finished because i built a garage. now work just has me too busy.

whats the plan for the new one or just oen to be a dd

[shavedmax]

whats the plan for the new one or just oen to be a dd

yard truck until i am ready for the frame.i drive 120 miles a day so DD isnt an option. plus no ac! the frame i had on my other truck was way too rusted to use. plus i really wanted a 5sp.

and it came with both door handles shaved(or broken depending on how you look at it, lol)

[kyrumo]

dude props for busting out a cut up door next to the dishwasher. thats pimp.
I know right, you can tell he's the motherfucking man of the house.

nice work man cant wait for more posts

[shavedmax]

sorry i havent had any updates, but i've been trying to finish my maxima for the summer and a full repaint on a friends jetta. hopefully by next month i'll get back on it.

[shavedmax]

small update, got rid of the 4x4 frame, put the body on a dolly. as soon as the maxima is out of the garage the body will go in to be finished.

i had thought about doing it that way, but my doors are actually longer than yours.
i wish there was more of an aussie influence here(or the old site) so the project could have gone a different direction, but now everything will be custom built.

[NISLED]

i could have shipped you a crew cab...

[shavedmax]

i could have shipped you a crew cab...

for free?:D

i know a dozen people on this site that would jump at that offer, but i think the shipping is still going to be alot of money. probably cheaper or the same as having one built by someone. i only have 1000 dollars into it so far between the two donor trucks. i work cheap for myself, lol.

[lowzone]

1st off, my first post and i have to say KUDOS to the work you are doing, second....ive built a Crewcab Isuzu pup, and started the same way you did. One difference, i built the cab first THEN the doors. Made sure the cab was square and rigid before attempting the doors. I started the same way, built 2 doors and even though they measured the same, i couldnt get the cab squared up right. heres some pics of mine completed (well minus paint and final body work):

yes thats a longbed and it has amigo 1/4 panels grafted on it. If you need any pointers about building your truck, hit me up. Im in NJ 07662,not sure how far from you.....but it took me 7 years to get this far, as a side project/toy along with building a house, a family and a few other trucks along the way....ive redone the truck twice and building a new frame for it now (less pieces, cleaner work) so i must say, good luck and measure twice :)

that's awesome ron!
i built the doors but only cleco'd them together so i could adjust them if needed. i just wanted a symetrical reference point so it'll be easier to get things to align, then i'll weld them up. looks like you're crazy for rodeos too huh?




the amigo bedsides make it look like a dually which is cool. i thought about making mine a dually, but i dont think the lines will work out nicely.

i'm an hour east of manhattan, we should try to get together sometime and check out your truck. i've been too busy work wise to really be able to finish off the truck or go to shows though.


more pictures?

[lowzone]

hey, im right about 5 minutes from the GWB, rt80/17/4/208/ etc....next to Paramus.

As far as the cab goes, just measure measure measure....in x patterns. tack weld angle iron from corner to corner to stabilze, then weld it up. Clecoing...SMART man.....this way you can adjust the door gaps as needed. thats why i built my cab (the second time) first, then the doors. i did the math on the chevy crewcab door size. 66%....the rear doors are about 2/3rds the size of the fronts. I over laid the door skins from the front door which is also the back door post. only issue is the top door line angles slightly downward...but i can live with that. The truck started out as a Spacecab, grafted a Rodeo roof and B pillar in for the rear door swing. the inards of the rear doors are Rodeo rear doors so i kept the gasket shape and hinge swing. lexan section of window and a 98 Rodeo rear door glass for the main part. Curve is off alittle so they might stay stationary for now....waiting for time and money to finish and paint...interior is going to be awhile and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, so we are both in the same boat....heres more pics of my projects:

Wow you've had a shitload of isuzus. and i thought i was nuts having 3 nissan trucks. you had to have it tough trying to make the center pilars square up to the rear cab and front cab. thats why i used a pathfinder, all i have to worry about is the rear matching up.

any plans to body drop it? it would look awesome on the floor.

wanna bring it to new york? there's a bbq in queens next saturday. i'm trying to have my maxima done for it.

I over laid the door skins from the front door which is also the back door post. only issue is the top door line angles slightly downward...but i can live with that. The truck started out as a Spacecab, grafted a Rodeo roof and B pillar in for the rear door swing. the inards of the rear doors are Rodeo rear doors so i kept the gasket shape and hinge swing. lexan section of window and a 98 Rodeo rear door glass for the main part. Curve is off alittle so they might stay stationary for now....waiting for time and money to finish and paint...interior is going to be awhile and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, so we are both in the same boat....heres more pics of my projects:

almost there. gotta weld the outer rocker on the other side and weld up the roof. the hole in the middle of the floor will be fixed with a raised trans tunnel once the frame is built. still dont know what roof i'll use. i have a pontiac g6 panoramic roof, but it's too curved to use on the truck. i'd like a sliding rag, but i dont it to be too noisy.
we'll see i still have alot work ahead of me.

[JRock]

you're my hero.

[drginazzhb92]

wow looks awsome man

[DHPmike]

I did a mercedes hard panel sliding roof from a mercedes G wagon into a pathfinder and it fit well.

as for the glass, and apologies if somene has said it but summitt sells speedglass which is high quality plastic thats usd in race cars and you can shape it any way you want.

or find some other glass thats square like you need and curved. like maybe a crew cab ford or chevy or dodge fullsize rear window. maybe even an old square body cevy rear door glass. the curve will be close enough to work in the rubber.


we do armored glass and most doors have a very similar curve and the stock glass groove in the rubber will allow for a bit different curve.

took a break to try to finish the other toy

[1800bucks]

First of all, nice Max, I have an '01.

Secondly, I thought I was the only one to think of this idea. I would love to bring a HB crewcab into the states from Mexico and use a standard 6'. The only thing holding me back it the money.

So far, its f*ckin awesome!

thank you

there was someone else on here with a green xtra cab that was thinking of doing it, but i havent seen any updates on his. there is someone on ssm that is building one that used two cabs and two front doors, which seems like so much more work.

Dude that about 2 months worth if he only has one baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now just imagine if he has 2 or 3 lmao


just one, and she goes through them fast. my wife pointed out that i have almost all the diaper stages on the boxes filled with parts, lol. i had to make a mess yessterday trying to find the door lock so i could line things up. still have to weld in the reinforcement, make the glass work and then weld the skin.

[tis10w]

[sweetsouthernlowrider]

nice project, same here, are you going to bodydrop it.

[shavedmax]

nice project, same here, are you going to bodydrop it.

stock floor since i have to build a frame

[SmashinHaters]

awesome and inspiring, keep up the good work

[shavedmax]

set up the glass, trying to make the the front regulator work on the back glass so the glass goes down all the way. just one more thing to cut and weld.......

[L-Rolla]

i cant wait to see what this looks like when its done, before you started postin this build me and a buddy had this idea but im so busy itll probly never happen, not to mention ive never welded before but yea man keep the pics comin, good work

[shavedmax]

i got the front door regulator working on the rear door so the glass goes down all the way. it's a little tougher than i would expect, but it could have a different angle/curve.
i also welded up the top of the door, did some rough bodywork to it and welded back in the door reinforcement(safety first bitches). i had to use the mount from the front door since the rear door tubes were thinner.

[Ice]

[jcjcsoccerkid]

awesome progress man, i wish i had the time/money/skills/equipment to do shit like this

[chadcrissdesign]

keep the pix coming plz!

[shavedmax]

no updates, sorry. been busy with work. i saw the truck for the first time this week when i put the new door skins in the garage.

[sweetsouthernlowrider]

well I got mine running, now just to get it out of the shop to test drive it. your truck is looking good, its coming together

[LowEnuff]

lookin good bro, hats off

[shavedmax]

well I got mine running, now just to get it out of the shop to test drive it. your truck is looking good, its coming together


i was thinking of buying a longbed too, but now that you/ve done it probably not. what size ragtop do you have?

[shavedmax]

took it out for a spin...................literally. spun the can around so i could work on the other side door easier. then stuck it back in the garage and went to a car show.

keep it up

[shavedmax]

debating getting a longbed for it. dunno if it would be too long at that point

[sparkinframe]

looks great.
i think a longbed would look right at home on there. keep it in poportion

[tis10w]

long bed the bitch

[wagondragger720]

a long bed would look right on this truck. DO IT!!

[mrsteveg]

the long bed would be so gangster on that!

[yeti_'87HB]

you gunna body drop that beast?

[shavedmax]

passenger door shell is 95%welded up. still have to fab up the window mounts and the regulator. then weld up the reinforcement and skin. i dont plan to weld up the skins fully until the truck is a little further along. this way if i have to make any adjustments it's easier.
yeti- plans are to build a stock floor since the frame has to be lengthened.

if the weather is nice tomorrow and my wife lets me i'll pull it out again so i can take appart more of the dash. then i can decide what to do about my flintstone hole

[njwett]

Leave the flintstone hole get you and your buddys to pedal it around to shows. That would be sick and a first. I've been waiting for a flintstone mini. btw sick build

[kcautoworx.com]

wow! thats really cool!!

[shavedmax]

[Hairbear]

very nice work.......Ive only seen one other 4dr hb & it wasn't done near as cleanly as this one...Here's a pic of the one I mentioned at the 09 RA show

http://socalcustoms.com/Shows/2009/RelaxedAllStar/images/DSC09043.jpg

It has a lil too much goin on IMO.....Not trying to be a douchebag just stating my opinion

[sweetsouthernlowrider]

that bch is badass. mine will have to wait a little while for the dually conversoin. and I think you should go with a lond bed, if your going to strech it then go all out. my crewcab is 19' long, keep up the good work.

[shavedmax]

i also welded up, ground down and drilled out the inner reinforcement on the roof where the inner trim mounts up.

i'm not planning on welding in the door skins until the frame is under the cab, which means...................

frame time!

[shavedmax]

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z182/shavedmax/DSCN3184.jpg

put some wires under it. but not really feeling it. i think titan 18's, the new style ones

[pugz]

get the 20' titans.. if your going big to where u built a frame and built a crew cab body.... u need big wheels on it too.

[Irongrave]

x2 on titan 20s

[shavedmax]

get the 20' titans.. if your going big to where u built a frame and built a crew cab body.... u need big wheels on it too.

i like the titan 20's, but i want to be able to enjoy the truck too. i dont drive my maxima as much as i'd like to because the 20's are too much. i'll set it up for 20's, but i want a good driving rim, likr these

http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/4/2/5/6/9/webimg/317480476_o.jpg

[chadcrissdesign]

can u slide your front seats all the way back, set them to a normal position and take a pic of how much leg room you still have for peeps in the back seat plz for me? by the way, im in love with your truck!

[sparkinframe]

20's are too much, not enough tire?

[jcjcsoccerkid]

i have the carpet and seats just thrown in there so that they dont get dirty. i'll try to see if i can get it where it has to go and take pics of it

[shavedmax]

20's are too much, not enough tire?

better drving characteristics on 18's. 20's tend to pull with the grooves in the road.

my 18's had 215/35 ruberbands and it drove awesome.

if i get 20's later they'll be bonspeed vistas. i love them, but dont have the 3k for them

[chadcrissdesign]

[chadcrissdesign]

any word on those pix my friend?

[IRingTwyce]

Just say NO to wire wheels, and YES to a long bed. My 1 ton GMC Crew w/ 8' bed measured 22' from brush guard to rear bumper. CRAZY long! But you quickly get used to driving and parking something that gargantuan. I can't wait to see more progress pics!

not much of a picture update, but i got the parts truck partially torn down to use the frame. i think i'm going to be using 2x3 1/8 box tubing, with an x crossmember in it to stiffen it up. i might be able to use my 110 welder for it, if not i have my eye on a hobart 210. it comes with the aluminum spool gun for 900 bucks

[shavedmax]

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z182/shavedmax/DSCN3615.jpg

time to build a frame

[chadcrissdesign]

are u using the std cab frame?

[shavedmax]

are u using the std cab frame?

yup, u dont think itll fit? :)

i didnt forget about your pictures either, i actually took them about a month ago, but my wife deleted them. there's about 6-8 inches between the seats when the front seat's all the way back. i just ended up storing things inside, so i cant retake the picture easily

[sweetsouthernlowrider]

just use the front of the frame and build a whole new one, from fire wall back, that what i did. the 2x3 sits right inside the frame.

[shavedmax]

long time no email :) my crewcab is out for paint now, been sittin at the shop since Dec 9th......family, what can you do, right???

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z182/shavedmax/DSCN3704.jpg

[shavedmax]

snowed today so no work. i have to work monday for it. luckily the metal supply place was open, so i got my 2x4, cut the front clip off, trimmed it, still need to take some more measurements. i plan to make my own body mounts, the old one is there just for referance. i decided to extend the frame past the kick in to make all 6 body mounts the same.

i was originally going to just run the 2x4 inside the frame, but there was a reinforcement in the way. i could still get it in, but it would be at least 1/4 inch higher that way. this way the frame is actually an inch and a half shorter,

[drginazzhb92]

lookin good cant wait to see you frame come together

[shavedmax]

i spend too much time staring at it trying to figure out what i need to do than actually working on it. i wish the body was lighter so i could do some test fitting with it too.

[chalybs]

Don't go to fast and not do it right. You mess up a door and it looks messed up, you mess up the frame you die. Good start so far!

[shavedmax]

my wooley and todays progress.
i got both rails drilled out a foot from the end dead center to be able to check square. i lengthened the reinforcement on the outside end and fixed a rust spot my the trans crossmember. stupidly i didnt think to slide the other side rail to check and make sure that the rails were parallel, so i had to cut the welds out and fix that, but i ran out of gas. i have to figure out what to do on the drivers side trans mount. it's too high. but i'll cross that bridge next weekend.

[chadcrissdesign]

You almost done?

[shavedmax]

You almost done?

as if! i saw you mount the body to the frame so i wanted to be just like you.

actually it was a nice day so i wanted to do some test fitting to see what needs to be clearanced where. even though i stepped down the front clip where the rails meet up it still hits the firewall . i need to either hit the firewall in some or if that doesnt do it then i'll notch it. i also have 4 2x6 spaced i need to cut wider so i can gain an inch of room for the frame to tuck in. if my calculations are correct i'll be past pinch but not yet rocker. good enough for me.

i placed the bed next to the body to see what it looks like, thats it,lol.

i had a busy summer family wise and bought a new(read: wrecked) daily that i had to fix, so that ate up the rest of the time. i had a friend come over last weekend and we moved it, uncovered it, flipped over the bed and placed it next to the truck for some inspiration. i have 2 more pieces to paint on my daily and the frame can go back in the garage

[chadcrissdesign]

whack. so youre going to build your extra cab instead then?

Correct! Designing a new front drop member also for nissan hardbodys. people will be able to gut there front frame clip and slide my suspension up and weld it in and then bam, the front is bagged ready for 22's. no drop spindles at all! :nana1:

yeah i've been slacking.had some home projects to take care of. i bought another one, so it makes a total of 3 and a pathy. none of which i've driven. the last one will stay intact though. i really want a 220 welder to finish the frame work though.

u get anything else done?

I didn't want to wait for the result so I skipped straight to the last page. Pretty bad ass.

[shavedmax]

still a way to go. if the weather holds up tomorrow i'll try to split the frame and body again and get the frame back in the garage

[chadcrissdesign]

aaaahem, almost done?

[shavedmax]

right now its under 2 feet of snow. luckily i pulled the frame into the garage so i can try to finish it, but i need the body to check the body mounts before welding them up solid. plus i really want to weld that up with a 220. the one i wanna buy is a grand, so i'm saving up for it instead of getting getting myself in debt. :)
