So, SUT owners. Let's talk about this Slant Back deal.
I really want one (as I have mentioned 6000 times). After research and running into walls, I have come up with only one answer. My H2 brothers/ sisters and I will have to design one.
So there are some things to look into.
1) R&D.
Who has connections to professional fiber glass work and automotive glass? When I ask this I'm talking about Custom Work. Not Jimbob's glass shop. (unless Jimbob does custom work).
2) What options would you want?
Tinted/ plain glass. window defroster? rear Wiper? Automatic locking with remote?
3) Price?
there is a company (can't remeber the name off hand) who will not be producing one for the SUT but already has a conversion for the H1's. Their conversion starts at $3000.
On my truck i would like to see a high quality finsished product that will look OEM when finished. I would like to see it lock with the remote key fob only without an external lock and have a rear wiper and defroster. I would have it light up inside once the dome light is turned on with the truck or is opened. This can be done with door switches easily.
I know this would be a $3000 to $4000 project with all of those options. (Estimated) But once one is made and perfected cost should be cut in half for a prduction run.
I could have one made out of Alluminum Tubes for frame work and sheet metal finished with holes for glass, but this would be way to heavy. So fiberglass would be the way to go. I don't know anything about custom fiberglassing or molding for this either.
...let's talk about this.

Yes I brought this thread back! Again! 
I saw the Truckin Magazine (April) and saw a remark in a section about Govenor Slant back under the Reader's Rap page 18.
Even though I have already called Tech Star and got Zero info for us to have one built, Truckin Mag said that Decoma Inc is resposible.
www.decoma.com 905-669-2888.
Anyone want to do some digging on this?

This is the outfit that makes the H1 slantback kits:
http://www.calgoldproducts.com/
Also, I've seen another H2SUT slantback besides this Hydrogen one. It was on a yellow H2 Sut that I saw in Durango last October. It makes me think that the photo of the slantback above is not a "one-off." |

Phil
I have tried to get info on the fender flare and under door section. The 325X60/20's sling dirt up side bad. The price seems high for both $1100. I have seen some for less on Gstyle, HiTech and a few other. Not sure if they look as good as these on jstarproducts. Just started researching. Do You have access to larger fender and and bottom of door protector to stop the wider tires from sling crap?
Thanks
TAZ

We do loads of glasswork. The first one requires tons of work; all the others are strait out the mold. So as i have said before - first one is free, but you have to leave your sut at my shop for a few days. All others are $2000 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
If you can make one that is like the H2H, I'd pay the $2000 and freight to get it here to CO. HAve you seen these pics?

The slant back on the Hydrogen HUMMER was done internally at GM, and unless someone pretty high up the corporate food chain decides to offer it as an SPO option there's no way to get one from GM. Now if your looking for someone that can do a top notch job and would like to do that project call Paul langlois, owner of Master Models and Molds @ 734-564-0524. He rode along with me in a SUT at Kinsalows last spring and we talked quite a bit about doing a slant back at the time.

Tim, are you close enough to be a "Test Vehicle"? That would be great.

Paul, what about making us a sample or a prototype? if you can provide a finished prouct with OEM or better quality and good functionality, I am sure you would have multiple if not many customers from this site alone.
