sorry it's not one of my GMs

if ya'll are cool with it being here etc., i'm sure i could get a lot of help from others knowledge though and i will continue to post progress pics etc.

I placed it in this forum because suspension will be where i have the most questions

plans-

roadster
lay body
tonneau cover mounted reverse (so it the front folds up) w. plexi window showing amp rack
keep the front suicide, rear pass suicice and tailgate door configuration
400/450 hp/tq



major stumbling points-

z front or body drop entire truck (rear suspension will be fairly easy- just weld in all new at height desired, front not so much to get it down further as front crossmember is on ground and body isn't!)

rollcage type bracing system to replace strength lost by removing roof. probably with hoops behind each front seat with seat belt harnesses (and this can't ruin the simple lines etc.)

about 20,000 other things i'm not sure about yet

the funny thing about that photo was that i went inside to get the camera to take some pictures of the Explorer and when i walked out the door i knew i had to snap a picture from the rear door- definitely not a planned photo.



btw-

the Explorer already has EDC, slam specialties bags etc. quite a few good pieces. From here on out the issue is just hot to get it low enough.

I'm pretty sure Dave's from MN, and his handle on here is Ikon. He's in Subsonic Kustoms. He has a bagged and body-dropped longbed. Pretty interesting character.
