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
