Mike, I used old raydot mirrors on mine. I have the single piece windows, and mounted them in the little triangle piece just forward of the window

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

The stock "sport" mirrors look pretty good IMO, very similar to the 69-72 sport mirrors.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Oh yeah, early clip and the deuces. Looking good! I think you need to paint it ochre/white insert with saddle guts :D

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

make some pics straight from the side so people and do some photoshop stuff on it colour wheels that sortah stuff
as for mirrors make sure you can still mount big mirrors when youre towing maibe make sunting you can hook mirrors ontoo without scratching the paint like let them hang from a roofrack or sumtin like that

sumtimes you can find realy good looking mirrors in bike catalogs they usually only take one hole to mount

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Its looking great man. I think it would look awesome painted charcoal with a maroon belt with all the moulding.

I vote '77 blazer clone.
Yellow/gold "one year only" trim,... with a woodgrain insert on the side.
This is member bigblock73's old blazer that I almost bought.
Factory plaid interior also,...

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

I do love the 77 yellow trim too

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Ochre would be even better!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

I agree... stock sport style mirror is the only option IMO. Classic, sleek and just plain cool.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

I am sure you guys wouldn't even believe me but that is the options we have been bouncing between hence (Square Peg) my friend Charles the Kid Armstrong one of the BEST sir brush artists out there has agreed to air brush the wood if we go that way ! I can't believe you guys actually guessed this ! Lol

Stellar idea! But I'd have Chuck spray the trim around it instead of using stock trim, and see what he thinks about where the border should be.

I bet you love all our suggestions, don't ya?

looking good!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Nothing to see here...just your everyday family utility vehicle with a woodgrain motif laying frame on 22's...move along folks.

I've seen woodgrain airbrushed and it looks good!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

there was a american hotyrod show where they did a fake woody the guy used brushes and some other stuff to get the grain in it , looked verry nice

thinking about having the chrome trim airbrushed on on mine

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

LOL, still thinking about it !
thanks man !
cool !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Kustom Werx did airbrushed trim back in the day on a 2 tone 72 C10, blue with gray insert. Very cool! I love the idea of airbrushing whatever trim you decide to go with.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Mike so far I really like everything that you have done this far!!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

thanks man !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Not for nuthin'- but for the dash, with your fiberglass contacts, you're missing an opportunity. Cast up a factory match pad, with/without cast in, lined cupholders on the front of it (a'la s-10 console, std '05 silverado bench seat front, Lincoln LS console, etc.)
All of our squares have rotten dashes, and my biggest problem with my 87 is I have nowhere for my QT 32! A redneck gots ta have his tea! Do with the idea what you will, could be a great addition to the Slosh lineup! Progress looks good! Got a target date for the frame to powder?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Mike, NOT that it makes any difference, but I agree with the wife, don't like the color. It needs to be something you don't see everyday, just not sure what. I'm also not into the wood grain on the Blazers, but I'm and OLD FART with no taste. You've proofed a lot of us wrong with the pickup, so I'll sit back and let you make all the right moves (with the wife in approval):lol:....Jim

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

I am not 100 % sure yet on which way we are going !
She does have a couple colors up her sleeve !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Civic Electric Blue would be sweet and would pop with trim accents

(comes on the 99-00 Honda Civic SI's)

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

we are kind of partial to older colors , non metallics

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

I love the progress man, anything Charles touches on your K5 will be outstanding, (the time machine is still one of my favorite trucks) but if you do go that way I'd suggest against the air brushed trim. I love the idea of the air bruched woodgrain, but I see so much of the trim done now its really not as cool as it used to be... but build what you like holmes, its yours!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Thanks man, Charles said the same thing !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

chevy orange and creme white

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

I think the woodgrain could be really cool if it fits the theme. Can your painter do Tiger Maple? I really don't like the airbrushed trim tho. Go look at Cloud 9 and ask yourself if phony trim would look good on there!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Painted trim is not an option for me either !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

its more a price issue for me , trim is expensive to replace aspecially if it has to come to europe and the weather here is kindah wet so theres more chance the truck will rust behind the trim where water and dirt tends to pool , new ordered trim from the states allso has a habbit to arive in dented and crumpled boxes , you wouldnt believe wat i've seen happening here with shipped goods , even cars in containers arent safe from thieves or bad handling
i seen airbrushed trim on pictures once but need to see it live and up close before i can realy say i like it or not , i allso need to find an artist here in the netherlands thats able to get it looking like chrome

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Any plans to run wood accent s in the interior?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

yes no matter which way we go their will be some wood in the interior

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

The light tan like on CHROMAHOLIC's truck is my personal favorite non-metallic GM color and would work well with woodgrain interior trim.

C'mon man. Post up a link for the lazy bastids out there. :smoke:
