BOB tailing a burb has been done, I haven't seen a dove tail yet, but with enough time and body work skills anything can be done.

were the rear door(s) spared?? I want to do either, or, I think doing both would look bunk on a sub. I want to keep my barn doors.
I want to bobb my sub the the end of the truck is the end of the rear wheel wells. so I would have to notch the barn doors, and relocate the bottom hinge. Is that enough to paint a metal picture??
OH and then boat side the motha!

The bobing I saw was with a tail gate and it was kept.
The barn doors are going to be a pain to narrow to dove tail.
Boat side is easy.

I will probably end up removing the barn doors altogether if it is too much of a hassle, but I think it would look good if it was done right.
Yeah, I figure if I am bobbing the back end, then I will forego the dove tailing.
Hey, Imiceman44, did you boat side your burb? got pics??

would I even have to taper if I am planning to bobb the truck 6" past the rear tire?
As in: Rear tire hangs out the back 6" further then back body panels.

I like that last pic, the barn doors are still there.
I like the look of a front taper, but I don't know about a rear taper. But I would like to do that blazer top grafting thing. It would be a good idea. But still, the way I want to do it is a little different then what I have seen so far.
how much can you remove while boatsiding??

I want to do boatsiding, but the problem I find is with the B pillar to floor strenth. I am going to go to the lower hinges though. Cutting the ass and the front is on the to do list as well, once I get a driveway

I have started sketching out the looks of a bobtail.
But I want the original lines kept, so I am working on it...
