Blang blang! Those mock-up wheels just prove that the proportions of the blazer are better suited to 22's.

Are you sticking with those mirrors or going with sport mirrors?

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

i hate page roll ! Yes deff going with 22's, and some other mirrors for sure ! any ideas on mirrors ? 67 Camaro ?

lol, leaning back towards "stock" we had 2 different ways we were thinking of going with the blazer but i think we are just going to do the "Classic" 2 tone with all the trim !

as for the mirrors check out mister rhinos build thread I think we use 69 to 72 Corvette mirrors And they look pretty slick

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.
