Project: DWNTIME - 2006 GMC Canyon

I haven't updated this in over a year, but there have been changes in the works.

This is where we WERE...

The doors WERE suicided but they never lined up right and were smashing the cab everytime they were shut, so we took it back to stock as the suicides were beyond repair. So I bought two new door skins and luckily they only shaved over the old hinge holes with DUCT TAPE so they bolted right back in no problem.

While the doors were being put back to stock, we stole a move from the VW scene and started shaving the pockets out of the door handles. We wanted the factory reliability with a smooth custom look.

Also out of boredom we decided to ditch the factory 3rd brake light and put an LED light in the half-gate.

In case you forgot how the half-gate works (these pics were before the brakelight was shaved).

AAAAAAAAAAND

Found a '96 BMW 318ti California Edition and cut the roof off. I needed the 35"x48" Electric sliding ragtop...



There goes the roof...

I love your control arms man, one of these days I'll be able to make them happen on the truck. Would love to be able to roll low without tearing up my tires.
