Still not sure on the color. I know lots of guys know a color before they even tear into a truck, but I kind of wishy washy on it. I've thought about the flat idea, but then I worry about how easy it is to scratch those things. I like a charcoal that I've had my eye on and it would look good with my grey center Coys.


ANY IDEAS ON COLORS???? I'll take all suggestions

gunmetal gray would be my choice.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
 
that was also a thought

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
 
No flat!!! I think flat looks great on some vehicles, but yours deserves something nice and shiny:D IMO a darker color but not black. Dark gray, deep maroon(almost black), very dark blue. I'm rambling:rolleyes:

I played with the colors on mine in photoshop but I am still up in the air about it.

Well, the saga of the blazer took a twist today. Bullock(my body guy) took a job back with the Nashville Auto Diesel College. Not that big of a deal, I'm going over to his shop tomorrow and going to bring the blazer over to his house.

I guess the only downside is that he won't be working on it full-time. Just at night when he gets off work. So in other words the patience bug bites again



Well, I went back over to Jason's garage today and he was getting the last of his things out of it. I towed the blazer over to his house which is about 3 miles away.

We started talking and he's got me making a few body mods. We're(like I'm doing any of it) going to cut off the front of the door arm so when the door opens it's just the door and not the vent window frame. Also going to cut 2-3 inches out of the windshield and cut off the top of it like this orange one.

Good idea I really didnt like that bump action on the door anyways...

Okay guys, just stopped by there and it looks awesome. He's a little pissed at the previous guy like I am. Said they didn't even weld the pass side rocker in just used filler.

He told me that he was going to make a true roadster out of it and take 3 inches off of the windshield. I told him I trust him and his style so take any liberties that you want with it. He told me he took 3 inches and it didn't look good, so he took 2 inches more for a total of 5.

He finished shaving all of the holes on the firewall other then the oil pressure line and the fuse box. I think I'm going to tell him to shave the oil cooler line also.

Here are some pics. I think it looks great.

Long as there is enough windshield left to stop you from tasting the bugs. :D

Stopped by today and dropped off all of the front end sheetmetal, bolt kits, and grille pieces. Took some pics of the work done. Jason was at work and the tailgate wasn't there so he must have brought to work.

I've decided to weld the tailgate up and shave over the handle, but leave the letters on the gate.

Everything is looking great! I know it's your truck, but I don't think I would weld the tailgate in. I'm sure this isn't going to be your daily driver, but you're reducing the functionality quite a bit. Plus, the first time you scratch it lifting coolers or lawn chairs over the back, you're going to kick yourself, :). Just my .02.
