Any idea which wheels you will run?

I assume it will have this stance and a big lip rear wheel?

Yes 22's all the way around with 22x12's in the back ! New wheel company , Circle Racing wheels and the wheel is the KNUTKASE , check them out (www.circleracing.com)

Cool wheel.
Do they offer a soft lip version instead of the step lip?

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

i still think you should paint the blazer and if possible the trailer in the same colourscheme as cloud 9 , you mentioned that you wanted to use the blazer to tow cloud 9 to the shows , it would look awesome going down the road and the blazer will look good in those colours too , besides you prolly park them together to show of the tubs

the wheels look like the ones that used to be in the front on old funny cars

i think the where made from magnesium in those days

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

Like the wheels!...not real keen on the spinner cap though....
Also agree a soft lip would look better)
Is the center finish an option (polished/silver(what it looks like)/anthracite/or color coded)

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

Looking foward to watching the progress on this one.
I have been wanting a 2 wheel drive blazer for a while, this sure aint going to help!

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

I like spinners on some wheels...this one has enough going on where it just covers up some of the details and looks a little "cluttered" imho ;) But we've seen what you think about my opinion (pinch/gold) :haha: j/k man...do what you like...you put together a unique show quality truck last time so I have every confidence you will again! :chevy:

Oh...that reminds me...this one has a loooong pinch weld area that would look really good shaved off.....I told you early enough this time :haha:

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

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

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

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

Good news that the insanity continues!!

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

Just a question about the name--- is your wife Peg or Margaret or just a fan of the 80/90's show "Square Pegs"? Inquiring minds. That kind of thing.

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

Well i steam cleaned/degreased for about 3 hours last night !! I think i have it just about clean enough for disassembly to start ! I layed under it and cleaned the floor and everything, i am pumped about how clean the body is !! I did however find one rust hole in the drivers rocker panel about the size of a pencil eraser . Here are some before bath pictures !

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

and some after bath pictures...amazing what a little hot water and degreaser will do !

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

And now ...on another note ! I recieved an UNBELIEVABLE call from a company last night , that i will share with you next week as soon as we have all of the details wrapped up !!! I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED !

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

This build is already draining my phone battery with all the updates. Might have to set it for daily emails vs. instant. Either way I'm gla I got in on this one at the beginning. Now hurry up and get it done.
