Barndoor blazer?

[slammed79]

I've had this idea rattling around in my noodle for a while, I'd love to see a blazer with a solid top and suburban barn doors.
  No way I try and plan it is any sort of easy, but I think it'd be awesome, kinda like a Tahoe sort of thing.

 Any thoughts??

Didn't Hill's Hot Rod shop in texas do that

Hills had a burb top grafted on along with the tailgate and window.

I'd to see it with the barn doors, I'm thinking that shortening a suburban would be a little easier than grafting the tops

Problem with a Burb is you have rear doors there you have to compensate for structure.

Absolutely, you would. I was thinking about formed support plates similar to the ones for the Hood. My idea involves removing the outer roof skin and adding such plates, then to the floor as well. Combine those with x members in the frame and it should be plenty strong.

Does anyone know where I can find a picture of Hill's hotrods rig? I didn't see it on the website.

Are you wanting to make a 2 door or 4 door Blazer?  It sounds like a alot of work if you are going to do a 2 door since you can just graft in the rear of a burb.

Here is it when it was Blue

I want a two door blazer, but with barn doors, I just thought shortening a burb down to two doors would simplify this goal. Maybe grafting the tops would be less involved. This whole idea is still on the bench until I can come up with some shop space.
